Paul in conclusion to his 2nd letter to
the Corinthians coax everyone to greet one another with a holy kiss as all the
holy ones welcome them. Likewise in finale, he said, “The grace of the Lord
Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with
all of you” (2 Cor. 13:12-13-NAB).
It should be noted that the
name of Jesus Christ was mentioned first in this Trinitarian order. It reflects
that the name of Christ is being emphasized first since it is through him that
an actual process of Christian salvation was made manifest. Christ as an opener,
which serves as an aperture into the abyss of insights that flood the
enlightened believers, therefore functions as the key to the wonderful things
even little miracles experienced by the Trinitarians.
Our consciousness is being
instigated that we may then open our eyes to deeper truths. Likewise this
chance harnesses our will to encourage each other to renew our love for our
brothers and sisters in the Christian family, and develop our will to commune
together.
In the sustaining work that
leads us to the holy living obedience to the Son, the Spirit redeems us and we
receive knowledge as the Father chooses us. With the rejoicing in praise and
worship, as the Christians obtain focus, we are then being guided that in our
insights may arise a revelation regarding the future coming of Christ, as it
may then be known to the Jews that he was the messiah who obtains his wounds
from the house of his friends (Zechariah 13:6).
The detailed analysis from the
scriptures serves as support that to our hearts we may understand that we
should unify the believers, as Jesus and the Father are one in communion with
the Holy Spirit as they share the same spirit. This is revealed through the
crystallized greetings of John to the seven churches in Asia: grace to you and
peace from who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits
before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn
of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth (Revelation 1:4-5).
With this revelation, we are
also encouraged to start a devotion to the holy Trinity, being the undivided
unity that is the highest form of devotion as we may then be enlightened to the
workings of the Holy Spirit, that our mind and heart may serve as illumined
rays making us as light to others, that they too may receive foreknowledge from
the Father and obtain revelation regarding the mystery of God.
Let’s allow the Spirit to push
us, that we may encourage others too with us serving as light and salt to the
earth. Knowing well from the Father as this is revealed through the Holy Spirit
that dwelt in the Jesus paraclete, we too take part from the Trinitarian unity
of which as Jesus is one with the Father, we are also one with Jesus, making us
an extension in duality with the Master. If we were only observant of the
nature of the Spirit that we receive through the indwelling of this in us, we
would also feel the rupture of emotions, as we are in-filled with the Holy
Ghost.
This indwelling of the Holy
Spirit is the great mystery beyond human control. All you have to do is to be
open as we are in praise and worship, and allow the Spirit paraclete to move in
us as our eyes are closed. Making you stammer and speak in plain strange
language is not the end of the in-filling but a possibility that through
listening to others who are in tongues too, interpreting this would make you be
endowed with the gift of prophecy.
The release of the Holy Spirit
through healing, laying of hands and guided free praising/praying in tongues,
is all you need to make our restoration complete as we may obtain both
repentance, baptism and receiving of the Holy Spirit which are representation
of the “gospel” this being ‘death, burial and resurrection’ (I Corinthians
15:1-3) as revealed in Acts 2:38-NAB: “Repent, and be baptized, everyone of
you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will
receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
In testimony that the Spirit
continues to move in us, we read: “And they were all filled with the Holy
Spirit and began to speak in different tongues, as the Spirit enabled them to
proclaim (Acts 2:4).” This revealed truth only signify that the speaking in
tongues did not end in Judea and Samaria but also it continues in the uttermost
part of the earth in the circle of the very Gentiles, of which we are regarded
as such now.
As you have had repentance and
baptism, the only thing you need to complete your plan of salvation is the
receiving of the Holy Ghost and His gifts. For “it will come to pass that
in the last days,” God says, “I will pour out a portion of my spirit upon all
flesh. Your sons and daughters shall prophesy. Your young men shall see
visions; your old men shall dream dreams… I will pour out a portion of my
spirit in those days, and they shall prophesy (Acts 2:17-18).
Let us try to obtain the gift
of the Holy Spirit particularly the speaking in tongues that the vessel, which
is our body, shall be continually cleansed for us then to obtain pureness of
thoughts and receive healing. In the time that we feel dry, we only have to
obtain the refreshing in the Holy Ghost (Acts 3:19).
