The Holy Spirit

Postby notforgotten » Mon Feb 17, 2014 4:31 pm

This thread has been revised and updated.

To understand the Holy Spirit, we must consult scripture. I will be using both the old and new testaments.

2 Corinthians 4:18. while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.


The eyes of the Spirit of Truth are upon us.

1 John 5:6 And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.


The Holy Spirit also bears witness to our consciousness.

Romans 9:1. I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit.


It is through the Spirit that the Father and Jesus hear our cries.

Romans 8:26. Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groaning's which cannot be uttered.


God demonstrates His presence here on earth through the eyes of the Lord.

2 Chronicles 16:9. For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.


The Holy Spirit glorifies Christ

The Spirit of truth bears witness to the indwelt Spirit of Christ in the Christian.

The Spirit of truth glorifies Christ by bearing witness that we belong to Christ and declaring this to the Apostles who sit on the thrones of judgment at the time of regeneration so that we are not judged and may stay with the Father.

Jesus said to the Apostles -

John 16:13. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak, and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

This is one way Christ builds His kingdom through the Holy Spirit who is here on earth.

Romans 8:16. The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

Identifying the Holy Spirit

Postby notforgotten » Mon Feb 17, 2014 6:51 pm

This is a photograph of the Holy Spirit descending like a dove.

Below is a photograph of the Holy Spirit in his spiritual bodily form and motionless.

This is a painting showing the Holy Spirit upon the Apostle Saint Andrew.

The Halo is found in scripture as the Holy Spirit alighting and remaining upon Jesus.

The Holy Spirit is also known as the Spirit of God.

Mathew 3:16. When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.

John 1:32. John testified saying, "I have seen the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven, and He remained upon Him."

The photograph at center is of the Holy Spirit in His spiritual bodily form.

Luke 3:22. And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased."

The Holy Spirit in His spiritual bodily form alighting and remaining upon Jesus appeared as a Halo.

My thoughts on the Halo

Postby notforgotten » Fri Mar 07, 2014 2:08 pm

The Holy Spirit appears to be revealing to us through the Halo that He is the breath of life given to all mankind in the very beginning by God.

This is not to be confused with the life Christ gives us through the Spirit of truth.

Genesis 2:7. And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

The term "Spirit" translates the Hebrew word ruah which in it's primary sense, means breath, air, wind.

God gave man life through His Holy Spirit.

I believe that the breath of life went into man's nostrils and is located over and throughout the brain giving us life. Hence, the Halo is over the head, representing the Holy Spirit giving us life. And without the breathe of life, the brain would not function and we would have no life in this world. The breath of life is connected to our spirits by the silver cord. When the silver cord is loosed, we are cut off from the breath of life, the brain dies, we become disconnected from our bodies, and are no longer part of this physical world.

Ecclesiastes 12:6-7. Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well. Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

I believe that the Halo would be the Holy Spirit's rightful place in revealing to us that He is the breath of life given to all mankind in the very beginning by God. And thus the Halo does not have to be limited to Christianity.

The Spirit of God

Genesis 1:2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

Chariots of God

Postby notforgotten » Sat Mar 08, 2014 3:03 pm

Artist rendition of Ezekiel's Vision of God (based on scripture).

Image

What you are looking at above appearing before Ezekiel, a beloved prophet of the Holy Bible, is Father God on His throne, Cherubim (living creatures), and what Ezekiel describes as "a wheel in the middle of a wheel" - this is an orbital description of a great living chariot of God.

Excerpt from, "Ezekiel's Vision of God" -

Ezekiel 1:15-21. Now as I look at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with it's four faces. The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness. The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel. When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went. As for the rims, they were so high they were awesome, and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them. When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went, and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels. When those went, these went, when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.

Below is a photograph of a spirit in one of the many small chariots of God.

Image

Ezekiel 1:21. "for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels."

................."for the spirit of the living creature is in the orb."

Ezekiel 1:19. "and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up."

................."and when the living creature was lifted up from the earth, the orb was lifted up."


Here is a link to a short video of a spirit flying in one of the many chariots(orbs).

Youtube video entitled, "Paranormal Exposure, Hard Evidence, JUST REAL, JUST IS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-k9PHX4MR4

Both good and evil spirits travel in these chariots(orbs).


I have discovered that the many chariot's of God are the living works of the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 68:17. The chariots of God are twenty thousands, Even thousands of thousands. The Lord is among them as in Sinai, in the Holy Place.

Omnipresence of the Spirit

Postby notforgotten » Sat Mar 08, 2014 3:20 pm

Psalm 139:7-8 Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there; If I make my bed in hell, behold, You are there.

Adoption through the Spirit

Postby notforgotten » Sat Mar 08, 2014 3:46 pm

Romans 8:15-16. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage to fear but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

Divine Inspiration

Postby notforgotten » Fri May 09, 2014 2:23 pm

Acrylic painting inspired by God through a dream.

Image

By: Child Prodigy Akiane Kramarik entitled, "Pyramid."

...In one of my dreams I saw the image of white pyramids
beaten by the ocean waves and surrounded by live bubbles.

Unlike most of my paintings, I had no idea what those symbols meant, but I painted them anyway.

Today the meaning still remains a riddle...


- Akiane Kramarick

God is inspiring a modern day artistic genius to paint, "live bubbles."
