The
person of the Holy Spirit |

When
G-d came down in the Tabernacle in the time of Moses, the
curtains will be expand like a men's longs and a breathing sound
was been heard. This sound of breath was called: "The
breath of the Holiest": "Breath" is "Roach" in Hebrew. The
ruach Ha Kodesh; The breath of the Holy Place! The breath of the
holiest became known as the 'Holy breath'. 'Breath' means Spirit
and became as
the Holy Spirit!
The Holy Spirit is a Person and
it is not just only breath. He became like wind. (Likewise
Pentecost) And 'wind' in Hebrew means "Ruach"!
(This came out of the oral tradition; that is what is not
recorded as in the
Scriptures,
but handed down by word of mouth. To avoid that the oral
tradition would not be lost, they wrote it down. It was handed
down)
Person of the Holy Spirit; The Third Divine Person of the Eternal G-dhead. His Ministry is to convict and convert man as well as to reveal, and glorify the Son, Messiah Yeshua, Jesus Christ and the Father {YHVH} to the believer and to the unbeliever! The Holy Spirit also ministers the saving work of Christ to men He convicts and draws sinners to the Lord Jesus Christ, imparts new life to them, continually indwells them from the moment of spiritual birth and seals them until the day of redemption. His fullness, power and control are appropriated in the believer's life by faith. It is the Holy Spirit, Who is working through all who believe in the Father through the Son. Therefore the believer should seek to know all he can understand, appreciate, and experience the importance of, the Person, ministry and work of the Holy Spirit, as revealed in the Word of God! (John 14:15-26) |

The Holy Spirit can not be associated as just an "influence"!
The Holy Spirit
can NOT be associated as just an "influence"! It would be as impossible to
have a relationship with an impersonal "influence" or just a "force". We
have to know the Holy Spirit
as our
friend, helper,
and comforter.
The believer in
Jesus
has the Person
of the Holy Spirit within
Himself! The Holy Spirit performs personal acts, such as: works, searches speaks, testifies, bears witness, teaches, instructs, reproves, prays & intercedes, leads, guides, glorifies Messiah Yeshua, the Lord Jesus Christ, strives with men, convict men, sends messengers from God, calls men into ministry, direct men into the service of Jesus Christ, Imparts spiritual gifts* to the members of the Body of Christ. Also the Person of the Holy Spirit can be grieved, insulted, lied to, blemished, resisted, tempted, vexed and quenched!
As a believer, we believe, you have to understand and
to discern to voice of the Holy Spirit.

Characteristics imparted by
the Holy Spirit:
The
Scriptures
mention different
kind of characteristics according to: In keeping honest motives, without any self-interest with earlier mentioned characteristics they live according to the laws and commandments written in their hearts by the Holy Spirit, Himself. The glorious sinless innocent-looking countenance comparable to that of Elohim {YHVH}, also the power to do good in the sight of G-d, the Divine consciousness, and the glorious covering have come back in their life. They are not afraid, but fear God! It is clear in a tremendous way "who" they really are! ...The real sons of G-d! You shall recognize them, by their fruits! (See also Book: Preparation for the Great Revival; Chapter 7; by Paul van Beek; also: "Victory over human efforts, traditions and customs" Chapter 9, by the same author: Bookshop)
Love - is the
greatest virtue and demonstration of the reality of
Yeshua, Jesus Christ
and the fullness of His
Spirit in our
lives. We endeavor to show a
Christ-like love
toward all men. Love should be exhibited in our lives by our words as well
as our fruit & actions.
(John 13:34-35, 1
Corinthians
13:13)
Love is
not an option, but a command of
the
Lord! |

The Holy Spirit represented in
The Prayer-Shawl is WHITE: Representing the Heavens, which is the dwelling place of the Lord! The Color Blue Representing “Ruach Ha Kodesh” the Holy Spirit of G-d! Therefore when a Jewish man is praying under the “talith”, the prayer-shawl, he is literally covering himself with the presence of God! From Biblical times a custom was a “prayer-clothed” (see at site: "Prayer-Shawl"!) |

The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are linked together in the baptism! The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are linked together in the baptismal command of the Lord Jesus. (Matthew 28:19) The teachings of the Lord Jesus clearly related that the Holy Spirit is one with the Father and with Himself! Messiah Yeshua’ or Jesus Christ’ Ministry on Earth was empowered by the abiding fullness of the Holy Spirit. As the Messiah of God He also desires to pour out that same Holy Spirit upon all flesh and upon those who believe on Him unto eternal life. The believer in Yeshua, upon the acceptance of the Divine finished work of the cross, will find available to him the gifts* of the Holy Spirit and thus come under His gracious ministrations from regeneration unto glorification. (Read also about: The glorious consciousness, Chapter 7 "Preparation for the great Revival see at Book-shop ) A believer and a member of the "Universal Church" you should follow His steps and come under the same workings of the Holy Spirit. All that G-d has for us and wants to do in us, will only be done by the operation of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Baptism in the Holy Spirit enables the believer also to speak in unknown languages. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is a Scriptural expression and experience. (Acts 2:3, 4; 10:44-48; Matthew 3:11) These gifts* are available for all the saints, but believers are still saved without using these gifts! God distributes specific gifts to individuals as He sees fit. Believers use their gifts to minister to others, thus enhancing the dependence, unity, and power of the Body of Christ.
Yeshua or Jesus
could do
nothing of Himself
in all His earthly life.
He
attributed
all His
works, doctrines, powers, etc. to
the Father
through
the anointing
of the
Holy Spirit!
Isaiah the Prophet
(Isaiah 42:1-7; Isaiah
61:12-2)
speaks of
Messiah
receiving
His
power to manifest divine acts by
the anointing
of
the Holy Spirit
and not by retaining
His own former natural attributes and powers. Is it necessary
for G-d to be anointed
with
the Holy Spirit
to do what
He
is naturally capable of doing? If it became necessary to
anoint
Yeshua or Jesus
during
His
earthly life, then it proves
He
did not retain
His
former glory and attributes which
He
had from all eternity when
He
emptied
Himself
to become like men in all things
He
did not claim the attributes of
G-d, but only the anointing
of
the Spirit
to do
His
works.
And
Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, all power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in
the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost:
teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I
am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20) |

People that have made a profession of faith, accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and that have shown a consistent Christian life and come regularly the services and are in harmony with the teachings of the Word of God, and making a profession of faith first, are to be baptized in water by immersion. The Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit are linked together as one in the baptismal command of the Lord Jesus. (Matthew 28:19) The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer on a good conscience toward G-d by the resurrection of Jesus Christ {Yeshua the Messiah} (1 Peter 3:21) Some people still trust that water baptism, itself, saves the soul, but it is very clear the baptism does not save one from the filth or moral depravity of the flesh! Only the answer of a good and clear conscience toward God, one that has been made clean by faith in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. At the baptism itself, the person's conscience is already supposed to be converted, repented, good and clean. The baptism itself merely answers to it as the like figure of it. Because it is a demonstration of what the person's believes. See also verse (Romans 6:4) It wasn't the floodwater in Noah's days that saved Noah and his family, in verse 20 it was the ark that saved them from drowning in the flood! The flood was the medium of judgment, not the means of deliverance! Also God is a God of love and compassion, and so we receive grace from Him, through Messiah Yeshua or Jesus Christ, not because of what we are, or what we did. It is His grace and love! |

Mikvah - An ancient Jewish tradition! Mikvah is an ancient Jewish tradition to prepare themselves before going into the Temple!! Baptism is generally a purification ritual using water practiced in many of various religions including Christianity, Mandaeanism, and Sikhism. Christian baptism has its origins with the Jewish ritual of “Mikvah”. To some groups, baptism is a symbolic term meaning "identification with" (e.g. Jesus / Yeshua) having no connection with earthly ritual. Although the term baptism is not used to describe the Jewish rituals, the purification rites (or Mikvah - ritual immersion) in Jewish laws and tradition are where the ritual of baptism can find its origins. In the Tanakh, and other Jewish texts, immersion in water for ritual purification was established for specific circumstances – in order to be restored to a condition of 'ritual purity'.
For
example, Jews who become ritually 'defiled' by contact with a corpse (according
to the
Law - Torah
of Moses), had to use the “mikvah” before being allowed to
participate in the Holy Temple. Immersion is required for converts to Judaism as
part of their conversion. Through practices such as these, immersion in the
mikvah represents purification and restoration, and qualification for full
religious participation in the life of the community. (Source: The Jewish Virtual Library; http://www.JewishVirtualLibrary.org ) |

The Holy Spirit–Baptism with Fire!
And
I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto
me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the
same is he which baptizeth with
the Holy Ghost.( John 1:33)
Christ is the one
who baptizes in the Holy Spirit
(Matthew 3:11; Luke 3:16; Luke 24:49;
John 1:33; John 7:37-39; John 15:16-17,26; John 15:26; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 11:16).
The Holy Spirit filled the house and moved upon the 120 flowing out of their
innermost beings like “Rivers
of Living water”
(John 7:37-39) and "pour out"
(Acts 2:17)
which literally means to gush out, to spill out freely, or pour out abundantly
like mighty Niagara’s of
Living water
and power from on High
(Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8). It
was like a "rushing mighty wind"
or the blast of a clap of thunder sweeping before it
(1 Kings 19:11-12).
Along with this mighty thunder or blast came visible forked tongues like fire
sitting upon each of the 120 disciples! |

The Holy Spirit Who is from G-d! (1 Corinthians 2:12-15; Ampl.) Now we have not received the spirit [that belongs to] the world, but the [Holy] Spirit Who is from G-d, [given to us] that we might realize {and} comprehend {and} appreciate the gifts [of divine favor and blessing so freely and lavishly] bestowed on us by G-d. And we are setting these truths forth in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the [Holy] Spirit, combining {and} interpreting spiritual truths with spiritual language [to those who possess the Holy Spirit]. But the natural, non-spiritual man does not accept {or} welcome {or} admit into his heart the gifts {and} teachings {and} revelations of the Spirit of G-d, for they are folly (meaningless nonsense) to him; and he is incapable of knowing them [of progressively recognizing, understanding, and becoming better acquainted with them] because they are spiritually discerned {and} estimated {and} appreciated. But the spiritual man tries all things [he examines, investigates, inquires into, questions, and discerns all things], yet is himself to be put on trial and judged by no one [he can read the meaning of everything, but no one can properly discern {or} appraise {or} get an insight into him]. |

To
discern the voice
Very
often it is difficult to discern and to understand, who is speaking in our heart
and it is also difficult to follow that
the Holy Spirit
is speaking to us! Therefore here are some directions how to discern and to
understand the voice, who is speaking to you! Also search by yourself in the
Word of God and pray for wisdom and the understanding for this. Search for His
Divine presence! He shall come and He shall speak! That is what I experience
every day. God also created situations and revealed to me His Word and will to
write a book about it. For so long I studied for a specific subject concerning
this writing and also other writings. He led me with all kinds of
information in so many ways. Time upon time! I am convinced that when you search
for this, you will understand and discern
the voice of the Holy Spirit
loud and clear! Not only inside your heart, but also by ministers who preach the
Word and prophets
who prophecy
(or prophetic minister). Who so ever speaks, you will recognize the voice
of God or “another one”.
There are three voices to discern and to recognize:
