Love God? Sometimes I hate Him!

"Interestingly, Dr. Sproul says he was “deeply immersed” in charismatic circles in the 1960s and that after receiving about 40 to 50 false prophecies—according to his report, they were specific prophecies with specific dates and details that never came to pass—he said to himself, “You know, I’m going to live my life by what it says in the Word, because I know the Spirit has superintended that. "

Prove everything by the scriptures with Jesus Christ at that throne of grace, brother, even myself and yourself too. No one is perfect yet and apostasies abound in these latter days.

was “deeply immersed” in charismatic circles

I guess I don't know what you mean by this actually. But whatever his walk in the Lord was a good thing. Just like it was good that Luther was guilt ridden. He desired freedom!

Did you watch the video? Because in the teaching's final conclusion my innards were moved and I was rejoicing albeit with tears!

Jesus Christ is our righteousness for we cannot on our own merit meet God's standard of holiness. And in God's tenderness and great love has done the unimaginable.

He reveals to us as He pleases what lurks beneath in our sanctification!

Prove everything by the scriptures with Jesus Christ at that throne of grace, brother, even myself and yourself too. No one is perfect yet and apostasies abound in these latter days.

Thank you for the encouragement.

Its the main reason so many christians focus almost exclusively on scripture and not the Holy Spirit. They dont know enough about the Holy Spirit in how to seek a greater presence in our life, and how to determine the Holy Spirit versus "feelings". They dont teach stuff like this in any church I have ever been to, so I have had to learn it on my own. Well, strike that, I had lots of help from God and alot of seeking "how" the Holy Spirit tends to work with people, and then saw how some things worked more with me, and learning that the Holy Spirit always wants to gently lovingly encourage us, or make us a "bit" apprehensive about something, but it doesnt lay a huge guilt trip on me, typically thats satan. But the Holy Spirit tends to work with us in the ways that tend to get through to us more. If you are afraid of listening for the "voice" of the Holy Spirit, and only trust scripture like most christians, then the Holy Spirit will try to enliven you when you are reading scripture, and if you read regularly then you will probably eventually come across something that the Holy Spirit wants you to focus on more so. But that method, although it works, it works very slowly, so learning to recognize the voice of the Holy Spirit will go far in increasing your faith and your growth in the Lord.

Scripture cites the role of the Holy Ghost is to testify of the Son thru us per 1 Corinthians 15:26-27 and that purpose is to glorify Jesus Christ per John 16:14. That means those led by the Spirit of God will have their focus on the Son & His words per John 14:26 and not on Himself i.e. the Holy Spirit. So all the more for why there is to be no worship of the Holy Spirit with the Father & the Son because that is not Who the Holy Spirit would lead us to testify of in seeking the glory of in order to honor & glorify God the Father. John 5:22-23 & John 13:31-32 That is the mind of Christ we are to have in obedience in worship Philippians 2:5-13 as the Son is the One working in our lives thru the Spirit in us Philippians 1:6-11

Typical conclusion of what I call a pharisee reaction, Did you know that the pharisee's knew the OT 10x better than most disciples did? Knowing God's words alone is not enough, you have to act upon it, and part of that action is to be like the apostles and first century christians. They used the Holy Spirit so much more than people this day and age, and it was those actions under the influence of the Holy Spirit that even allows for a new testament, much less all the spur of the moment decisions based on the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Typical of the Pharisees that say but do not do as they say? Yet Jesus corrected them by the scriptures, especially when defending His claim to deity which provoked them all the more.

If you acknowledge the scripture of what the role of the Holy Spirit is to do.. which is to testify of the Son thru us John 15:26-27 & thereby to glorify the Son John 16:14, then how can we be led by the Spirit in any other way in worship?

And when you consider what a true witness is as that witness cannot speak of himself John 5:31 but to speak of the other in seeking the glory of John 7:18, then as the Holy Spirit witnesses through us about the Son thus adding our witness of the Son to the Spirit's witness of the Son, that makes that witness true John 8:17. God adheres to His words when bearing testimony of His Son as the witness of the Holy Spirit was added to the Father's witness from Heaven regarding His Son for why God adheres to His own words for why God's witness is greater than men's witness in the earth 1 John 5:6-9 KJV ( <--- which proves 1 John 5:7 is originally scripture as early church historical debates referred to that verse validating it as originally scripture IS 1 JOHN 5:7 NOT IN ANY GREEK MANUSCRIPT BEFORE THE 1600S? IF IT IS TRUE, WHY IS IT IN THE KJV?

"Quoting from link below.......

200 AD	Tertullian wrote "which three are one" based on the verse in his Against Praxeas, chapter 25.
250 AD	Cyprian of Carthage, wrote, "And again, of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost it is written: "And the three are One" in his On The Lapsed, On the Novatians, (see note for Old Latin)
350 AD	Priscillian referred to it [Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, Academia Litterarum Vindobonensis, vol. xviii, p. 6.]
350 AD	Idacius Clarus referred to it [Patrilogiae Cursus Completus, Series Latina by Migne, vol. 62, col. 359.]
350 AD	Athanasius referred to it in his De Incarnatione
398 AD	Aurelius Augustine used it to defend Trinitarianism in De Trinitate against the heresy of Sabellianism
415 AD	Council of Carthage appealed to 1 John 5:7 when debating the Arian belief (Arians didn't believe in the deity of Jesus Christ)
450-530 AD	Several orthodox African writers quoted the verse when defending the doctrine of the Trinity against the gainsaying of the Vandals. These writers are: A) Vigilius Tapensis in "Three Witnesses in Heaven" B) Victor Vitensis in his Historia persecutionis [Corpus Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, Academia Litterarum Vindobonensis, vol. vii, p. 60.] C) Fulgentius in "The Three Heavenly Witnesses" [Patrilogiae Cursus Completus, Series Latina by Migne, vol. 65, col. 500.]

And there are more in that list at that link to prove 1 John 5:7 in the KJV was actually originally scripture all along. But I digress.....)

The point is are we led by the Spirit to speak of Himself in seeking Hs glory or are we led by the Spirit to speak of the Son in seeking His glory for why the focus is on the Son, because He is called the Bridegroom for how we are intimate with God the Father by.. as knowing the Son is how we know the Father in Heaven.

Keeping the faith is the good fight and I dare say I have seen many apostate movements where the focus is on the Holy Spirit and receiving Him again and again and again and not just at that so called another baptism with the Holy Ghost with evidence of tongues or by that sign of tongues either as they seek to receive that spirit of confusion by other signs too like holy laughter & slain in the spirit and yet they were all addressing, praying, and focusing on the Holy Spirit.

So Jesus saying He is the only way to come to God the Father by brings a whole new meaning John 14:6 & why climbing up another way is a work of iniquity John 10:1 when Jesus is the only door for how we live that reconciled relationship with God the Father and that is through Jesus Christ.

That is why the real indwelling Holy Spirit would never point to Himself to be the focus because that is what the spirits of the antichrist does as "antichrist" as applied in scripture means "instead of Christ" or to be more precise "instead of the Son". So the spirit of the antichrist is what visits unwary believers that want to believe that was the Holy Spirit but in reality He has been in them since salvation at the calling of the gospel and they are suffering a thief to break thru. God will permit that strong delusion to occur for believing the lie that they can receive the Holy Spirit again apart from salvation opposing the calling of the gospel per real tradition; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-15 and by a sign too; Matthew 12:39-40.

Keeping the faith is the good fight and so Who are you keeping your eyes on and focus on in living that reconcile relationship with God the Father by as led by the real indwelling Holy Spirit to do?

And nothing works at all when a supposed correction is done without scripture but it seems to be the going trend in Christian circles in these latter days.
