The Seal of God.. Part 1

Brothers and sisters in the Lord, we must not forget that we are living in the age where many prophecies have been foretold to take place. As we watch them unfold, we must be watchful and be steadfast in our faith in Christ Jesus. The Lord Jesus is coming again and sooner than you think. His second coming is imminent. Is your heart right with God? Have you given your whole life to Jesus?

Beloved, we are witnessing the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in this generation. God is fulfilling His promise to this generation as He declared in Joel 2:28-29 saying "  And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out my spirit upon all people, your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions: even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days. This is happening. It is going to intensify. Maybe you cannot see because you are not in Him and He is not in you.

And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, saying hurt not the earth,neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads (Revelation 7:2-3). Please,make sure you are not left out, because without this seal, your eternal salvation is not guaranteed. In Ephesians 1:13b-14, Paul writes that having believed, you were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession.

Maybe you have head of Jesus or even read about Jesus, but that doesn't guarantee your salvation. Or maybe you go to church every other Sunday but have not yet received Jesus into your heart and life. There is a difference between being told about Jesus and having a relationship with Him. Maybe you don't really get what this " Holy Spirit" deal is all about.Or maybe you have been told that you don't need any Holy Spirit to inherit the Kingdom of God. But I tell you the truth, which is the word of God that everyone needs the Holy Spirit. Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:3-7 that "No one will see the Kingdom of God unless he or she is born again. Born again simply means being born of water and the Spirit.

Jesus loves you and He is waiting to come into you and make abode in you as He said in John 14: 23. He told His disciples that He will ask the Father to give us the Holy Spirit, which is the spirit of truth, who the world cannot accept because it sees Him not or knows Him. You can only know Jesus if He is revealed to you by the Spirit. In Acts 1, Jesus charged His disciples not to go anywhere to preach or witness to anyone in Jerusalem or beyond until they receive the promise of the Father, which is the Holy Spirit. Jesus knew that they needed a revelation. He saw that they are powerless without the indwelling Spirit. This tells us why the disciples walked with Jesus, saw all the miracles He performed, listened to Him daily and yet couldn't understand Him.

However, in Acts 2, when they all received the Holy Spirit, we are told that the disciples boldly proclaimed the good news to all those foreigners and indigenous people who had assembled there. This was the power of the Holy Spirit. God is moving moving mightily in young men and women now. You need the Spirit of God to be able to please Him. The whole purpose of our time here on this earth is to find out where we are going to spend eternity. You won't know this by being of the world. You need revelation from the Holy Spirit.

To be continued and thank you for reading this.
