11-13-14 MUST EXTREMELY READ IT: What does the Bible say The Loving Holy Spirit and The Unconditional Love? The loving Holy Spirit - He loves you dearly! Many people today are scared of the Holy Spirit. They fear that theyve done the unpardonable sin and are forever enemies of the this third person of the Godhead. This is a lie from the pits of hell, and the devil knows it! The Holy Spirit cares for us and loves us dearly. We are precious to Him, and there are many scriptures to give us an insight into the loving nature of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and prompted me to write this teaching about how much He loves us and about His loving nature towards us. I believe it will be a rich blessing to anybody whos struggled with fears of the unpardonable sin. The Holy Spirit wanted to make us in Gods image Lets start at the beginning. When God made man in His image, they (the Father, Son and Holy Spirit) said, Let us make man in our image! The Holy Spirit (along with the Father and Son) wanted to make you and I in His image and give us dominion over all other creation here on earth! Youll find this passage in the first chapter of Genesis: Genesis 1:26, And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. It was the Holy Spirit who sent Jesus to heal and restore us! If you turn to Luke chapter 4, youll find that it was the precious Holy Spirit who send Jesus forth to minister healing, deliverance and restoration to us. Lets look at this passage in the Bible: Luke 4:18-19, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. Those wonderful things listed in the verse above were the desire of the Holy Spirit for us, and He sent us Jesus to minister that healing, freedom and restoration unto us. It was the Holy Spirit who empowered Jesus to go about healing all who were oppressed of the devil, raise the dead, and heal the sick. It is that same Holy Spirit who empowers us today to go forth and do the same! Acts 10:38, How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. The Holy Spirit is our advocate and intercedes for us Jesus referred to the Holy Spirit as our comforter. Look at this passage in the Bible: John 14:26, But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost... The word Comforter in this verse comes out of the Greek word parakletos which means, An intercessor, consoler: - advocate, comforter. The Holy Spirit is not only our comforter, but also an intercessor, consoler and advocate. Lets take a brief look at each one of these properties: An intercessor is somebody who intercedes on our behalf. Take a look at this passage in your Bible: Romans 8:26-28, Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. A consoler is somebody who is there to talk to and share your burden with. Merriam-Webster tells us that to console somebody means to help soothe their grief or to comfort them. The Holy Spirit is concerned about what is going on in our lives and wants to help us make it through the difficult times. He is there as a shoulder that we can cry upon and understands us. An advocate is somebody who pleads our case before the Father. Just as Abraham pleaded with God not to destroy the city of Sodom, so also the Holy Spirit pleads on our behalf before the Father. A comforter is somebody who understands our struggles and is here to comfort and help us. The Holy Spirit understands what you and I are going through, and is here to help us in our weaknesses and our times of need. The Holy Spirit is working on our behalf behind the scenes in the spirit realm! The Holy Spirit wants us to know what has been given to us The Holy Spirit wants to tell us all about the good things that God has given us. He wants to make known these things unto us, so that we can take advantage of them. 1 Corinthians 2:9-12, But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. The Holy Spirit wants to show us the things which have been given unto us by Christ, so that we can reach out in faith and receive them. The Holy Spirit wants us to take advantage of what Christ has done for us and take hold of the many blessings (healing, deliverance, peace, joy, spiritual authority, etc.) that have been given to us! The Holy Spirit of adoption The Holy Spirit loved us long before we came to Christ, and desired to adopt us as children into the family of God. He testifies with our spirits, telling us that we are children of God. Romans 8:15-16, For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. The Holy Spirit is a Spirit of compassion and love for those in need. Going back into the Old Testament, we find this passage: Ezekiel 16:4-6, And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor swaddled at all. None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the loathing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born. And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live. The Holy Spirit wants to make known unto us the things of God The Holy Spirit is here to teach us about the good things of God and lead us into all truth. John 14:26, But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. John 16:13-15, Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will show you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall show (meaning, to reveal) it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it unto you. The Holy Spirit chose to make us His dwelling place The Holy Spirit has chosen to make our bodies His indwelling temple or habitation. Take a look at these passages in 1 Corinthians: 1 Corinthians 3:16, Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 1 Corinthians 6:19, What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? The Holy Spirit wants to sanctify us The Holy Spirit is here to take us higher in our walk with God and bring us closer in our relationship with Him. He is here to help us become more Christ-like and be sanctified, that is made pure and holy in our walk with God. 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14, But we are bound to give thanks always to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth. Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. Where the Spirit is, there is freedom! The Bible tells us that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! 2 Corinthians 3:17-18, Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. He has come to set us free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:2, For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. It is the Holy Spirit who calls us to eternal life It is the Holy Spirit who leads us to Christ. It is the Holy Spirit who calls people into the kingdom of God! Revelation 22:17, And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. Holy Spirit is the one who woos us to the love of Jesus, and makes the love of Christ real to us... He gives us revelation, understanding and wisdom and teaches us as a personal tutor would. ============> What does the Bible say about ? 80 Bible Verses about Unconditional Love Romans 5:8 ESV / 312 helpful votes But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 1 John 4:8 ESV / 252 helpful votes Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13 ESV / 228 helpful votes If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

Isaiah 1:1-31 ESV / 23 helpful votes The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

May the Lord do so to me and more also if anything but death parts me from you.” Romans 8:1-39 ESV / 12 helpful votes There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

You shall make no covenant with them and show no mercy to them. You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons or taking their daughters for your sons, for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods. Then the anger of the Lordwould be kindled against you, and he would destroy you quickly. But thus shall you deal with them: you shall break down their altars and dash in pieces their pillars and chop down their Asherim and burn their carved images with fire. Deuteronomy 28:1-68 ESV / 11 helpful votes “And if you faithfully obey the voice of the Lord your God, being careful to do all his commandments that I command you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, declares the Lord.” Isaiah 53:3-5 ESV / 9 helpful votes He was despised and rejected by men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his stripes we are healed. Psalm 91:1-16 ESV / 9 helpful votes He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, Psalm 23:1-6 ESV / 9 helpful votes A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his names sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Romans 8:29 ESV / 8 helpful votes For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. John 10:9-18 ESV / 8 helpful votes I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. Luke 11:28 ESV / 8 helpful votes But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Matthew 25:40 ESV / 8 helpful votes And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ Matthew 22:1-46 ESV / 8 helpful votes And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, and sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.’ But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, Matthew 13:16 ESV / 8 helpful votes But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear.

Job 1:1 ESV / 8 helpful votes There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job, and that man was blameless and upright, one who feared God and turned away from evil. Romans 3:1-9:33 ESV / 7 helpful votes Then what advantage has the Jew? Or what is the value of circumcision? Much in every way. To begin with, the Jews were entrusted with the oracles of God. What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God? By no means! Let God be true though every one were a liar, as it is written, “That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged.” But if our unrighteousness serves to show the righteousness of God, what shall we say? That God is unrighteous to inflict wrath on us? (I speak in a human way.) John 13:22-25 ESV / 7 helpful votes The disciples looked at one another, uncertain of whom he spoke. One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was reclining at table close to Jesus, so Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking.

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Isaiah 43:1-4 ESV / 5 helpful votes But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in exchange for you.

God Almighty who gives Humanty more than 1 million of chances to forgive sins for the conversion, but dont get caught by death(there is no way to proved God with Holy actions of conversion when youve lost your physical body. As holy & perfect catholic-Christians we must continue to stand as part of the Holy Family of God forever. Repeated sins has nothing to do with forgiveness of sins because youve chosen your destination to commit sin/evil/darkness. Youve chosen your own will and not our Fathers Will. Your actions is your reward(Mat 25:31-46 eternal Life or Eternal Fire?). In the Kingdom of God/Heaven do you think there is sin/darkness in 1 hour or 1 day or even 1 century? Think? Peace!
