Just No Way Around This, We Must Have The Holy Spirit!

APOSTLE JAMES & BETTY WINFREE MINISTRIES

That which is born of the flesh is flesh,
and that which is born
of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:6

The Holy Spirit - Written By Apostle James R. Winfree Sr,

Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you,
unless one is born of water and the Holy Spirit,
he cannot enter the kingdom of God.
John 3:5


We were created with a need for loving intimacy, and we are restless and insecure people those of us who do not know the Lord Jesus Christ. Until we have a loving and Spiritual birth as found in (John 3:1-8), this is what verse (6), says, "That which is born of flesh is flesh and that which is born of Spirit is Spirit."

One hears a lot these days about "Holy Spirit-filled Christ Believers." For the life of me I cannot find any teaching in the Bible which would lead me to believe there is any other kind of Christ Believer. Let me share with you why I believe this.

When Peter delivered that opening sermon on the Day of Pentecost, he promised the "gift of the Holy Spirit" to all who would "repent and be baptized" (Acts 2:38). The Apostle Paul also wrote to the Romans and said, "But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him" (Romans 8:9).

All who are Christ Believer have been given the Holy Spirit. Why do not all show the influence of the Holy Spirit in their lives? Is it not a matter of utilizing the gift?

One can receive a gift and fail to use it. For all practical purposes it is like one being given a tractor to plow a field but never using it. The power was there, but it was not used. I would not want to be misunderstood. I know there are numerous times in God's Word when phrases like, "The Spirit came mightily upon" someone, that is as an event of the moment, but that in no way discounts the fact that all Jesus Believers have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.

The problem arises when one fails to allow the Holy Spirit to influence and reign over all of one's life. Jesus gave a very clear way to determine whether the influence in a person's life was good or bad. He said, "For no good tree bears bad fruit, nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit" (Luke 6:43). So there you are, fruit is the thing one looks for in matters of judgment.

What fruit do we look for in "Holy Spirit-filled Jesus Believers?"

But the fruit of the Holy Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such there is no law, and may I add this please love, unity equality and Oneness in Christ Jesus. (Galatians 5:22-23)
Words will not prove the test only The Holy Spirit Make Us Children Of God In Christ Jesus!

Do you want to know if a life is truly filled with the Holy Spirit? Then use the yardstick of the Spirit's own words. If you do not see love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control in the life, then you are not seeing a life producing the fruit of the Spirit.
