8 2 of 2 Christ Holy Spirit the presence within the Christian. Hi I'm Norman Oetker, a Hmong
Mong Protestant Christian Missionary serving in Reynosa Mexico, today is January 2012.
Grace, which is the name for God's strength, power, love, and favor to man, which is delivered
through the Holy Spirit. God's Providence, is known to all men, the very first step has
been done by God the Father, who has put it in the hearts of all mankind to seek Him out.
You'll see many people in religious activities, and they have the ideal that they are in fact
believing and serving God in their own way, and, sad to say, the great majority of those
are of the Protestant persuasion. All that proclaimed, their belief's, and yet, reject
the aforementioned, Protestant Christian Bible's Old and New Testaments as divinely inspired
works from God, and that the New Testament is the only spiritual rule and guide for Christian
believers, if one doesn't eventually come to believe that, then they, are not, the “Born
Again Christians.” The question arises how is, or what is, the obvious signs of those
who are not walking in God's grace's, but have chosen the way of rebellion? Those who
openly defied God, by their openly sinful lifestyles and subsequent actions. That is
the rebellion being demonstrated outwardly or secretively. The Holy Spirit isn't time-bound,
as we understand time. God's Providence is, and has been, eternal, eternal to the dateless
past, and to the eternal dateless future. Before all that is, there was God. God has
no beginning or ending. This Spiritually, this presence, this spirit-substance that
has within it, the three persons of the Godhead, as revealed to us: the Father, Son, and Holy
Spirit. This unique spirit-substance, created man
in it's image, in it's likeness, and or, in it's shadow, where? on this planet earth.
Then God the Father, of this spiritual substance, breathe life into man, and man became a living
being, by the Holy Spirit being breathed into him. Inside, this first, and only created
MAN, dwell with man's spirit, the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit leads all through
and to a Holy Righteousness to the Father, that righteousness being either; man's word
and honor to God the Father, as demonstrated by the first descendants of Adam and Eve.
Later, under the Mosaic dispensation, then into the completed righteousness, which was
made available to all, which is received by faith, in the Atoning work of Jesus, with
Jesus being the sacrificial lamb, offered to God the Father, for the ultimate removal
of Sin, which the first man and woman, Adam and Eve had committed.
Adam, after disobeying God, entered into a sinned state, which changed him: spiritually,
mentally, and physically, man now knew right and wrong, and the evilness of how to misuse
this knowledge. This sin knowledge overwhelmed him, and would have destroyed them both completely,
had it not been for God's “Grace” and, the promise made to both; Adam and Eve, in
Genesis 3:15, that He, God, was going to send one in the future, that would destroy evil's
controlling power over all of mankind. It was in this fallen depraved mental, spiritual,
and physical state, that Adam and Eve had children, and their first three boy's mentioned
in the Old Testament, were born with this debilitating evilness, which we now call “sin.”
Resulting within their lives, that which their parents did, by their disobedient act towards
God. Equally now, God's Grace comes through to us through the Holy Spirit. This same Holy
Spirit, that has, and is helping mankind, to believe and to follow God's promises, this
same Holy Spirit-substance is courting you, as you read this. The direction of the Holy
Spirit is always to lead YOU! to one action, and that is to complete your eternal destiny,
and that spiritual door, is opened by faith in Christ. Then and thereafter, your destiny
will begin to play out by your obedient lifestyle, to the writings of Christ, and the Apostles,
and the Evangelists, found in the only true and correct version, which is the Protestant
Christian Bible New Testament.
