Charismatics have been misunderstood and mislabled.
They are stereotyped into oblivion.
Jesus said"my sheep hear my voice"
We know him and his voice.
Jesus said,"if a son asks for bread,the father WILL NOT put a snake or scorpion in his hand"
IOW, Not only is God not evil,but he PROMISES satan can not touch a babe asking his Father for the Holy Spirit.
Neither can satan invade and possess a person praying for salvation.
Satan can not cross certain lines. Especially the blood.
The word says " the letter killeth,but the spirit giveth life"
Cessationists say "that spirit stuff is dangerous"
Full gospel believers know the opposite is true.
Enjoying the feast at the Fathers table and his presence,and his voice,confirmation,and his warm smile and approval.
A tangable ,alive,living fellowship in the spirit
Walking and conversing with him.
That is done in the spirit.
The cross and the blood are foundations, not vehicles for anointing.
Anointing comes to the hungry. Not the satisfied.
God is a God of Purpose. The anointing is for purpose. Always has been.
The anointing is Spirit centered.
The anointing is Holy Spirit centered.
A demon spirit has a smell.
A full gospel Holy Ghost filled believer knows the smell of the false.
If you walk in a house and they are cooking fish,you wont expect them to serve lamb. You know what is cooking.
Demon spirits are like that.
Jesus can not be decieved. The word and the Spirit.
Jesus is the word,the Holy Spirit is the Spirit.
All the paranoia over the Spirit is opposite of God's plan.
Ironically,safety is found in the Spirit emphacised.
The believer seeks the Holy Spirit,and the Holy Spirit points men to Jesus.
Salvation is always Holy Spirit dominated,for it is he that convicts,illuminates,plows the heart in preparation for Jesus inhabitation.
That is why,in a crowd listening to an evangelist,only a few or none gets saved. Only those that were PREVIOUSLY convicted and arrested by the Holy Spirit respond.
The only exception are those instantly "smitten" on the spot.
Only through the baptism in the Holy Spirit,can the real picture emerge.
The believer becomes spiritual.
Walks in the fruit of the Holy Spirit,but also in the Power.
Nothing at all to be afraid or paranoid of.
