Jesus prophesied several times about the coming of the Holy Spirit. Jesus made the Holy Spirit known to His disciples and promised His disciples the Holy Spirit. But when do you receive the Holy Spirit from God? What is the requirement for receiving the Holy Spirit?
God gives the Holy Spirit to them that obey Him
Le Dieu de nos pères a ressuscité Jésus, que vous avez tué et pendu à un arbre. Dieu l’a élevé de sa main droite pour être un Prince et un Sauveur, pour donner la repentance à Israël, et le pardon des péchés. And we are His witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey Him (Actes 5:30-32)
Dans les Actes 5:32 il est écrit, that God has given the Holy Spirit to them that obey Him. Et c’est toujours le cas. God gives the Holy Spirit to them that obey Him. Obedience to God and His Word is a requirement to receive the Holy Spirit. (Lire aussi: Pourquoi l'obéissance vaut mieux que le sacrifice?).
Ceux, who rebel against God and don’t do what God says in His Word and don’t walk in the will of God, shall not receive the Holy Spirit.
Because why do you need the Holy Spirit if you won’t submit to God and refuse to do what the Word says?
Many times Christians consider the Holy Spirit as some kind of energy or a power, manifested in a feeling or emotion.
But God the Holy Spirit is not an emotion or feeling.
The Holy Spirit is a Person. L’Esprit Saint est l’autre Consolateur, Jesus spoke about. The other Comforter, Whom the Father would send in the Name of Jesus Christ.
Le Saint-Esprit témoigne de Jésus-Christ. Just like those, who belong to Jesus Christ and are His witnesses
Si tu aimes Jésus, you obey Him and do what the Word says
Si tu m'aimes, garde mes commandements. Et je prierai le Père, et il te donnera un autre Consolateur, afin qu’il demeure éternellement avec vous; Même l’Esprit de vérité; que le monde ne peut pas recevoir, parce qu’il ne le voit pas, ni l’un ni l’autre ne le connaît: mais vous le connaissez; car il habite avec vous, et sera en toi (John 14:15-17)
Jésus a dit, that if you love Him, you will keep His commandments. This means that you do what He says. And if you love Jesus and obey Him, by keeping His commandments, Jesus promised He would pray to the Father and the Father shall give you another Comforter,
This other Comforter is the Holy Spirit. If you love Jesus and do what He says, you shall receive the other Comforter. And He shall be with you forever.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth and shall be in those, who obey the Truth
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning (John 15:26-27)
J'ai encore beaucoup de choses à te dire, mais vous ne pouvez pas les supporter maintenant. Quoi qu’il en soit, quand il, l’Esprit de vérité, est venu, Il vous guidera dans toute la vérité: car il ne parlera pas de lui-même; mais tout ce qu’il entendra, c’est Lui qui parlera: et Il vous montrera les choses à venir. Il Me glorifiera: car Il recevra de Mes, et il te le montrera. Tout ce que le Père a est à moi: c’est pourquoi j’ai dit, that he shall take of Mine, et il te le montrera (John 16:12-15)
The world doesn’t see the Holy Spirit. The world doesn’t know the Holy Spirit. Par conséquent, ces, who belong to the world can’t receive the Holy Spirit, Who is the Spirit of truth.
Mais ceux-là, who believe in Jesus the Christ and are saved through Him and have laid down their own lives and through regeneration in Christ are reconciled with God and have become a new creation, and submit themselves to Jesus Christ and follow Jesus and obey Him, they shall receive the Holy Spirit; l’Esprit de vérité.
They shall see the Holy Spirit and they shall know the Holy Spirit personally. And together with the Holy Spirit, they shall testify of the Truth and preach the truth of God.
The Holy Spirit shall be with them and shall be in them. And as long as they stay faithful to Him and obey Him, the Holy Spirit shall abide in them forever.
When do you receive the Holy Spirit?
Et donc ces, who believe in Jesus Christ and become born again in Christ and become a new creation and follow Jesus and obey Him, shall receive the Holy Spirit from God.
Obedience to God and His Word is a requirement to receive the Holy Spirit. That is how you recognize the sons of God and the sons of the devil. (Lire aussi: ‘Les commandements de Dieu et les commandements du diable', ‘L'obéissance à Dieu‘ et ‘Désobéissance à Dieu').
When people say that they have the Holy Spirit abiding in them, but they refuse to submit to God and don’t do what Jesus; the Word says and don’t confess Jesus the Christ and are no witness of Him, but they walk after the flesh and live like the world, faire les œuvres de la chair (which are written in the Bible), you might ask yourself whether they have the Holy Spirit or the new age spirit? (Lire aussi: ‘Le Saint-Esprit contre l'esprit du nouvel âge, quel esprit habite en toi?')
Parce que ceux, who are born again in Christ are reconciled with God. They are sons of God (les hommes et les femmes) and belong to God. They shall walk after the Spirit and be continuously led by the Spirit. Because they obey God and do what the Word tells them to do.
'Soyez le sel de la terre’
