Regeneration Of The Disciples

Regeneration Of The Disciples : Let's look in Jhn.20:22 <> " And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them. Recieve ye the Holy Ghost" Since the disciples did not actually recieve the Holy Spirit until the day of Pentecost, some 40 days in the future. ( Acts 1:8;2:1-3), this statement must be understood as a pledge on Jesus Christ part that the Holy Spirit would be coming. When the impartation of the Holy Ghost by Jesus Christ following His death on the cross, was not the day of baptism in the Holy Spirit as experienced at Pentecost. Now , Jesus Christ has said these words to all of those whom were around Him that day and in us today. " If ye had known me, ye should have known the my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him " ( Jhn.14:7). They as (We) come to know Jesus Christ in His ministry and then soon after in (His) death and resurrection. To know (Him) is to know our God. This is that emphasis on Jesus Christ incarnate is very unmistakably clear in the gospel. The Holy Spirit now lives in the disciples and that Jesus Christ had fulfilled His promise. And when He hath said this, he breathed on them, and He given unto the the Holy Ghost in these few simple words: " Recieve ye the Holy Ghost". which is known as the " Spirit Of Truth" But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all thingss, and bring all the things in your rememberance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (Jhn.15:27). Again, Jesus Christ promised to send in the Holy Ghost (Spirit) This is that impartation of the Holy Spirit is always that source of spiritual and all eternal life for us as His disciples. His ministry of empowering for us whom shares our witness when we have ask God that day in whom we shall do for Him and to bring in the road for us to tarry in going about His business of the Kingdom for that day. what is featured in what has been given unto us is life-giving power, (7:37-39). the next feature is His indwelling presence (14:26). His ministry enpowers everyone whom is a believer in one's own witness to those whom are in this world that are lost in not knowing Jesus Christ, nor have a personal deep relationship with him. We ought to have understood this one thing first, God has all of the resourses in His hands (Job 41:11; Ps.50:10-12), and in which that our God needs our prayers. Simply because of God's statement in this verse: " And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and to stand in the gap before me for this land, that I should Not destroy it: but I found none. Therefore have I poured out my indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: there own way have I recompensed upon their heads, said the Lord God. ( Ezek.22:30,31). What we must understand that the Sovereign God has for His people, His own reasons and designed in this world that much of what is truly His Will makes contingent on attitudes and all actions of human beings. He allows humans to have thier own choices that makes the decisions that can and does influence history... Human inactions does not Nullify the atonement, but makes it ineffective for all the Lost people that lives all around us in our daily lives. This is the truth could intimidate us with responsibilty it implies, or even condemns us because our lack of prayer. But another responsibilty can be enjoyable. If We allow this revelation can elevate us to our own hearts to a brand new positions of dignity along side of our Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. What we are doing in our prayer life in being in a partnership with our God, Jesus Christ is literally this statement: we are working with our God hand in hand toward the relation of God's redemptive purpose on this earth". So, "Let's rise to any occasion and truly enbrace this very incredible invitation as we are "Co-labors with our God"... to be those carriers of His awesome presence of the Holy Spirit and being His Ambassadors for His great kingdom. Let's Represent Him! We have God's ultimate Protection all around us, and it comes from the word " paga" We are and have built bounderies of protection which means this: No trespassing ! Life in the Secret place ! There are truly specif times we will be on "Red Alert!" to all kinds of particular situations that needs protective Prayer. We have that infamous word "Time" (Karios) and another one is (Charonos), which is time in general in a regular basis for our family and loved ones, in a general time which anything is done ... in other words" right time; the opportune point of time at something should be done" which is a limited time of opportunity would be "kairos" time. A Well - timed attack in a war would be "karios" time. when someone is about to be attacked or is in danger is about to bee attacked by Satan that is "karios "time.The bible speaks of well-timed (karios) temptations ( Luke 4:13;8:13). No doubt coincidential temptations does occur - to any one of us or being at the wrong place at the wrong time -but there are also well-planned, well - timed temptations. It does Pays to be very alert, both for ourselves and for all others. It comes as a prompt from the Holy Spirit to get to praying for someone and to interceed for them in whatever temptaions, or persecution that they may be having in those countless of lives.

I want to share this with everyone whom read this that this actually had taken place in our church and had witnessed this for my own persoanl self along with my husband charlie and a host full of others that had been there that one sunday morning during one of our church services. For the life of either one of today we just can't remember what the sermon was on that day. But this one thing that either one of us had experienced was the entering in of the Holy Ghost that particular day he had brought in with him his angles that knocked us down to the floor of the church that afternoon and when that happened to all of us No One could get up off of the floor, we was weeping and crying out as the Lord had showed up amongst us all that day. It was so powerful in that place we could feel Him and his powerfulness all around us and all that we wanted to do is being in his presence and to hear what was about to be said unto us in our church. Oh, Man is was so very, very strong and it felt heavy but yet peaceful all at the same time. The utterance has been told by someone in the church that day a prophet, as the prophetic word was exalted among us in that place. I wish that today I could remember all of those words that has been spoken unto us that day. But that powerful anointing in which was the very first time that I had been in that kind of setting for the both of us. What it done for me was to imagine that's just what it will be like in heaven but then we'll be in our celestial bodies that will handle it... I think... at least as far as I'm concerned. I'll never ever forget it in my own life. My husband won't ever forget it either. But that in it self was a heart-felt witness in just what our God can do before us in our life. I've witnessed this in my own life coming back from the dead, giving me my voice to talk, and the use of my hands and walking in my own personal life. I'm so very blessed and thankful to know and have witnessed just how powerful our God is today, and countless of others whom have recieved thier healing from the Lord.


I'm putting up the whole chapter of a Psalms in giving my heart-felt thanks unto My precious Jesus Christ in all that He's done before as He lifted me out of darkness and brought into His light and seen fit as someone whom didn't even deserve what He had done in my own personal life that I just want to give Him today in all that is within me.


1I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

2The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

3I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

4The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

5The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

6In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

7Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

8There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

9He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

10And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

11He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.

12At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.

13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

14Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and discomfited them.

15Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.

16He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.

17He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.

18They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

19He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

20The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

21For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

22For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.

23I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.

24Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.

25With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;

26With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself froward.

27For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.

28For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.

29For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.

30As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.

31For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?

32It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.

33He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and setteth me upon my high places.

34He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.

35Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.

36Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.

37I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.

38I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.

39For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.

40Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.

41They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

42Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.

43Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.

44As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.

45The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.

46The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.

47It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.

48He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

49Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.

50Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.( Psalms 18:1-50).



The first words, to ?I will love thee, O Lord, my strength, to ? are the scope and contents of the psalm. Those that truly love God, may triumph in him as their Rock and Refuge, and may with confidence call upon him. It is good for us to observe all the circumstances of a mercy which magnify the power of God and his goodness to us in it. David was a praying man, and God was found a prayer-hearing God. If we pray as he did, we shall speed as he did. God's manifestation of his presence is

very fully described, ver. #(7 to 15). Little appeared of man, but much of God, in these deliverances. It is not possible to apply to the history of the son of Jesse those awful, majestic, and stupendous words which are used through this description of the Divine manifestation. Every part of so solemn a scene of terrors tells us, a greater than David is here. God will not only deliver his people out of their troubles in due time, but he will bear them up

under their troubles in the mean time. Can we meditate on ver. 18, without directing one thought to Gethsemane and Calvary? Can we forget that it was in the hour of Christ's deepest calamity, when Judas betrayed, when his friends forsook, when the multitude derided him, and the smiles of his Father's love were withheld, that the powers of darkness prevented him? The sorrows of death surrounded him, in his distress he prayed, Heb 5:7. God made the earth to

shake and tremble, and the rocks to cleave, and brought him out, in his resurrection, because he delighted in him and in his undertaking. (Ps 18:20-28)
