Do you have the Spirit?


Many people claim to be born again but they are not. Jesus said that unless a person is born again he cannot enter the kingdom of Heaven. I read from John 3:3 Jesus said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” In verse 5 He says:“unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.” Verse 8 He says:“ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; SO IS EVERYONE who is born of the Spirit” of God.

A person who is born again is LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD. He is not led and motivated by his own mind and by the desires of the flesh. He is led by the Spirit of God and he goes where the Spirit of God sends him. His only purpose and duty is to DO what God wants him to do, he is a child of God.

If we do not have the Spirit of Christ living in us we are NOT BORN AGAIN and we do not belong to Him, as Paul also wrote in Romans 8:8 “and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. 9However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, IF INDEED THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN YOU. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, HE DOES NOT BELONG TO HIM.” Verse 14 he says: “14For ALL WHO ARE BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, these are sons of God.” That is what qualifies you as a child of God, as a son of God. You MUST BE BORN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD, you must have received the Holy Spirit of God and you must follow Him, you must be LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

Belonging to a church, owning a Bible, doing Bible study, none of those things make you a child of God. What makes you a child of God is if you are BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD and you are only born of the Spirit of God if you OBEY Jesus, if you REPENT, if you turn to Him, turn away from serving yourself and sin. You repent of your sins, you OBEY Him, you are baptized in water and you FOLLOW Him. You SEEK Him with with all your heart and He will give you the Holy Spirit, He will baptize you in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will GUIDE you. You will not do what YOU want to do any longer. You will DENY yourself and you will follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit to be pleasing to God, not to yourself. A CHILD OF GOD SERVES GOD!

Have you received the Holy Spirit! Are you led by the Spirit of God? ARE YOU TRULY BORN AGAIN? Because if you do not have the Spirit of Christ you do not belong to Him. Seek Jesus with all your heart and ask Him for the new birth, for His Spirit to come and dwell in you because the Spirit of God dwelling in you is GOD HIMSELF DWELLING IN YOU. You become a temple of the Holy Spirit, and if you are not a temple of the Holy Spirit you do not belong to Him, you do not have salvation, you are not born again.

Some people have received the Holy Spirit and they are not following the Spirit. THEY WILL GET CUT OFF because every branch in Him that does not bear fruit will get cut off and BURNED. We are called for duty in the Kingdom of God. We are called to be witnesses, we are called to build the Kingdom of God and if we do not build the Kingdom of God, if we are not led by the Spirit of God we are not part of the Kingdom of God.

Have you received the Holy Spirit and are you led by the Holy Spirit? Do you OBEY Jesus every moment of your life?
May Jesus bless you.
