H os 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me:

No other doctrines in the Bible are so misused. No other doctrines are so misunderstood. No other doctrines have the horde of people teaching it, and are missing the mark. No other doctrines plays into the hand of Satan like this doctrine. People actually believe that the spirit which move upon the waters, and divided the waters from the dry land live in them! Physically, like a baby in his or her mother’s uterus! This is one of the Satan winning cards, he is bagging up the people like crabs. I spent more than forty years watching and observing people who claimed to have the Holy Spirit himself living in their body in a physical sense. I saw believers who were doing well before they received the infilling, and after they received some kind of baptism, their life take a down the road turn. They were loaded down with spiritual gifts, but none of the fruit of the spirit.

Satan fakes Everything The Holy Spirit Does:

Just like the Egyptians in Egypt fake everything that Moses does, except one. Satan has fake conversion, fake convictions of sin, fake persecutions, fake blessing, fake healings, fake deliverance, fake revelations, and fake believers we call false brethren. Once a believer is caught up into spiritism, self displaying, and flamboyant manifestation of spiritual activities, and starting to operate under any form of satan new age fake thing, it is not an easy thing to deliver that believer from it. He or she is lost forever. It does not even make sense engaging them in any conversation in trying to straighten them out.

The First Line Of Defense Against Being Controlled By Evil spirits, is taking heed to your spirit.

Mal_2:16 For the LORD, the God of Israel, saith that he hateth putting away: for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the LORD of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.

Eze 13:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Watch This Satan Learn A New Trick Since This Verse Was Written:

1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

Biblical Words And Phrases That Does Not Mean Exactly What They Says Are Call Idioms:

“If your right eye offended you pluck it out”, “If your right hand offended you cut it off”, “ if somebody hit you on one cheek, turn the other cheeks’ There are some secular words such as: “Booting up the computer” “Booting down the computer,” “Cut engine”, “Ignite the engine” For example: “Cut engine” Does not mean that you must take a knife and cut up the engine, cut engine mean to turn off the engine. “Fill with the spirit” “Baptize in the spirit”, “Walking in the spirit” “Living in the spirit” “The Spirit upon him”, “Led by the spirit,”, “and moved by the spirit.” These are all biblical idioms, this is what it says, but not what it means. “When Mr. Roy hears that his wife was having an affair, he went through the roof” That is what we says, but not what we mean. Did he poke a hole in the roof and went through? No! This means he throws a tantrum. When the bible says: “Walk in the spirit” How can a person walk in a spirit? Walking in the spirit means to conduct our lives, base on the precepts or principle that are written in the scriptures.”Walking in the word,” mean the same thing.

What Does The Infilling Of The Holy Ghost Mean And How Is It Done:

There was a certain young man from one of our churches, keep walking and have his hands and his legs trembling. One day he visits a certain church and the pastor asks him why he is behaving like that? “Why is he shaking his hands and his feet, kept trembling as moves?” One young sister answered: “He is filled with the Holy Ghost pastor, he is powerful you see” The pastor says: “He is filled with demons” he never came back to church from that day.

The way the Charismatic churches teach and presenting the doctrine of the in-filling of the Holy Ghost only reverse the purpose that God intended it to be and scared the young generation of converts. One group of young people said: “We want Jesus, but we do not want the Holy Ghost” One young man jumps through the church’s window and ran away when he received his in-filling. One young girl when she received her in-filling, she never has one bone left in her body, she became the elastic woman. Another man I know after he received his in-filling, he married some four to five times and every time he married, his marriage broken up. The in-filling of the Holy Spirit, if that term was ever used by the apostles, does not mean that the Holy Ghost poke a hole into your body and get into your body, like how a baby is in his or her mother's womb. No spirit must ever be in your body except the one spirit in which you were born with. If a second spirit invades your body, it is not the Holy Spirit. He does not need to do that. When God created man in the first place, God gave man a spirit, which is different from his soul. This human spirit is what the Holy Ghost Going to anoint and use, this human spirit must be in subjection to the Holy Ghost and to the written scriptures.

Humanity Have A Soul:

Job 14:22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

1 Thess 5:23 (NKJV)Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Humanity Have A Spirit:

Just like our body need constant nourishment, our soul and spirit need to constantly refresh, and this is what the outpouring of the Holy Spirit means. This does not mean that the Holy Spirit that make the world, which divided the water from the dry land come to live with us on a physical level, this is how the church teach it, but it is not true, and as you grow in God and the scriptures you will find it out on your own. God baptizes our soul and spirit with the Holy Spirit, this happened every time a great task or persecution is in the making for us. This is so profound that it will even make you speak in different languages, Christians call: “tongues” however, tongues is your native languages, which you use every day, other tongues, is an adopted language that was not your original language, unknown tongues is a language that has no written alphabet, are that is not known.

The soul lives within the body and gave life to it, the spirit lives within the soul and gave life to it. A human being does not need another spirit in their human body, the spirit which God put there at conception, only need inspiration, and that it will get once the new birth has taken place and the person is now connecting to the spirit of God, at the new birth.

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Job 32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

1Th 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When God made man, he put everything in us, so he does not need to physically put anything in again. God made us in three parts, body, soul, and spirit. He does not need to do any adjustment to our body, to our soul or to our spirit.

The Human Spirit Is A Replica Of The Holy Spirit:

This spirit is like a replica of the Holy Spirit, with this spirit you worship God, this spirit is what the Holy spirit anoints, give inspiration and use, and this spirit does the prophesying. This human spirit is called. “The spirit of the prophet”

Proverbs 25:28 He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. Ezekiel 13:3 Thus saith the Lord God; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing!

Your human spirit must be in subjection to the wooing of the Holy Spirit and the written word.

When The Holy Spirit Is In Control Of The Believers This Is What Follow:

Ephes. 5:17-21 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is. [18] And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; [19] Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; [20] Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; [21] Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.

Filled with the Holy Spirit is a Biblical Idiom:

When we say; “I am pulling your legs” Or, “he jumps ship” you did not actually touches the person's leg, you are only saying; you are pulling a joke on him. “Jump ship,” The person did not physical jump off the ship. This means that the person changes their course of action unexpectedly. Like he change his mind overnight and went to a different school, or vote for a different political party, then you say he jump ship, but he did not jump off a real ship and fall in the sea below, this is what you say, but not what you mean. When Mr. John heard that his wife was having an affair, “he went through the roof” He did not explode like a bomb and blew off the roof. This means that he gets into one big uproar. It is the same thing “Fill with the spirit” does not mean, if you cut a person's foot, you will see the Holy Spirit foot in the person's foot or his head in the person's head. Or you will find a little man living in the person’s head. It is not like that. It is you and I that must surrender our spirit and mind to the control of the Holy Spirit and walk in him. Walk in the spirit mean to conduct our life base on the written word. For example, if you and I are walking in the spirit, there will be no competitions between us. I will never be scared that you might turn out to be a better preacher than I am. Look at Phill. 2:3

Philip. 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

I used 1 Cor 7:1-5 as an example. Every Christian, husbands from the charismatic churches that you talk to on this subject will tell you that the smallest problems between them and their Speaking in tongues wife, played out in the bedroom. Why? Not walking in obedience to the written word. This is what walking in the spirit men, and filled with the spirit means.

1 Cor. 7:1-5 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. [2] Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. [3] Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. [4] The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. [5] Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.

Walking in the spirit mean to walk-in the word.

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Galatians 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

Look At The Spirit Now:

Look at the spirit in this following verse, none of the servant of God, from the Old Testament to the new, make money and worldly good their priority. They all use these things but these things were not their priority.

2 Cor. 12:17-18 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom I sent unto you? [18] I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? Walked we not in the same spirit? Walked we not in the same steps?

Numbers 16:15 And Moses was very wroth, and said unto the Lord, Respect not thou their offering: I have not taken one ass from them, neither have I hurt one of them.

1 Samuel 12:3-4 Behold, here I am: witness against me before the Lord, and before his anointed: whose ox have I taken? Or whose ass have I taken? Or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed? or of whose hand have I received any bribe to blind mine eyes therewith? And I will restore it you. [4] And they said, Thou hast not defrauded us, nor oppressed us, neither hast thou taken ought of any man's hand.

2 Kings 5:21-27 (NKJV)So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him, and said, "Is all well?" 22 And he said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying, 'Indeed, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.' " 23 So Naaman said, "Please, take two talents." And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants; and they carried them on ahead of him. 24 When he came to the citadel, he took them from their hand, and stored them away in the house; then he let the men go, and they departed. 25 Now he went in and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you go, Gehazi?" And he said, "Your servant did not go anywhere." 26 Then he said to him, "Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants? 27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever." And he went out from his presence leprous, as white as snow.

Satan Is Having A Field Day With Church People Since This Verse Were Written:

1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. [2] Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: [3] And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Satan spirits are verbally preaching and saying good things about Jesus now, this is how they get in the church. “Confessed That Jesus Come in the Flesh” What does this mean? The son of God came and physical live among us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, put to death, was buried and rose again, and ascended up into heaven and will be coming again. Ask those Jews at the Wailing Wall if they believe this? Matthew 27:2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

Look At This Demon Saying Good Things:

Acts 16:16-18 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying: [17] The same followed Paul and us, and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the most high God, which shew unto us the way of salvation. [18] And this did she many days. But Paul, being grieved, turned and said to the spirit, I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour.

What Was The Purpose Of The Holy Ghost In Our Lives?

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

Joel 2:28-32 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: [29] And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. [30] And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. [31] The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the Lord come. [32] And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

This Is To Give Belivers Special Power And Authority To Proporgate The Word:

Acts 2:1-18 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. [2] And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. [3] And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. [4] And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. [5] And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. [6] Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language. [7] And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? [8] And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? [9] Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, [10] Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, [11] Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God. [12] And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this? [13] Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

[14] But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: [15] For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. [16] But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; [17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: [18] And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: Afterward—after the restoration of Israel, as in Joel 2:18-27.

Three great outpourings of the Holy Spirit:

1. On the day of Pentecost and many years following this day (Acts 2:1-28:31) 2. During the future tribulation (Joel 2:28-32; Acts 2:16-21) 3. During the Millennium (Isaiah 32:15; Isaiah 44:3; Ezekiel 36:26-27; Ezekiel 39:29; Zech. 12:10)

The Spirit was also poured out upon Christ in fullness (Isaiah 11:1-2; Isaiah 42:1; Isaiah 61:1; Matthew 3:16; Matthew 12:18; John 3:34; Acts 10:38). Believers may have the fullness of the Spirit at any time during this present age (Matthew 3:11; Luke 24:29; John 7:37-39; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:33,38-39; Galatians 3:13-14; 1 Cor. 12; Ephes. 1:17-19; Ephes. 3:16-21).

Women are not excluded from spiritual gifts and powers (Acts 2:16-21; Acts 1:14; Acts 2:1-21; Acts 21:9; 2 Cor. 11-14).
