Is the Holy Spirit? – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Is the Holy Spirit
* Alive in your heart?
* Alive in your Church?
* Healing the Sick?
* Making the blind to see, the lame to walk, the deaf to hear?
I believe if we do not see theses signs wonders and miracles, the Lord is disappointed.
He said in John 14:12-18
” Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”
Was Jesus telling tales?
No, we are a people who have failed to recognize and employ the Talents our Master left for us. Some of us have even buried the Talents and claim they are not for today. It’s like the experation date has passed.
Matthew 25 is a chapter about the Holy Spirit:
Wise and foolish virgins: Oil for there lamps.
Those who had no oil are like the Church today…No Spiritual power, because we don’t really believe. We want to, even pray to, but don’t know how to fill our lamps.
The Master and the talents :
Jesus told the story using money for the simplicity of understanding.
Everone knows some who invest, and others, that hoard. The ones who invested were blesed the ones that hid the talent were sent to outer darkness.
The sheep and goats.
The sheep understood the Commandment to Love one another…they fed the hungry, gave clothes to the needy, water to the thirsty.
So how do we fill our lamps, invest out Talents, Love one another?
It is all as plain on the nose on our face. It is Revelation Knowledge. ..will you see and believe or hide in your bed?
Watch this space….The Holy Spirit is alive and begging to to allowed to proclaim the good news.
Lord, open our hearts and minds to see, to act, to glorify Jesus.

What God wants final -The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
All through the Bible the Lord has been trying to make us realize one simple thing. HE WANTS A PERSONAL, RELATIONSHIP with Each One Of Us.
Religion, is sometimes a problem, look at Paul:
” Galatians 1:13-14
King James Version (KJV)
For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.”
Paul was Zealously serving God as a Pharisee, exterminating Deciples of our Lord. Until the Lord struck him down, blinded to get his attention.
Zeal is what we need but it must be Godly Zeal, Phinious killed sinners, his zeal rewarded, Paul killing Saints, he needed direction.
For today we need Relationship, James explains Religion :
James 1:25-27
King James Version (KJV)
:But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.”
Please quit talking about your “Religion ” I ‘m a Baptist, I ‘m a Methodist, Catholic, Presbyterian. …No you are not. If you are a true follower of Christ, you must put the Word of God above your Church Doctrine.
You need to be a Desiple. Stufy to
show yourself aproved. Present yout bodies a living Sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God. This is our reasonable service.
John 3:16-17
King James Version (KJV)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”
We don’t need programs to teach us how to share the Word. We need the Holy Spirit to be allowed to work through us. We cannot change people, make people love and serve the Lord. Let the Spirit lead us to share the love of the Lord.
Father God, please help us to let Your Spirit flow.

Our current path: The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
every man did that which was right in his own eyes.
In the book of Judges we read our story. ” Every man did that which was right in his own eyes.”
Everyone does what thay want, it is all good, all normal, all excepted in the eyes of man. Men with men, women with women, Man is women. …
We have even gone so far as to find a man of God to Bless our folly:
” Now know I that the Lord will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to my priest.”
We can always find someone to validate our behavior. They can even claim to have the mind of God in the matter. Watch out, that boat won’t float.
” Go in peace: before the Lord is your way wherein ye go.”
When the man you are following, is not a man of God, do not expect the Lord to give you the victory in whatever you plan or attempt.
Many will die thinking they have won doing as they please. More toys, money, fame. Image the disappointment, when they hear:
” depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
When we should have been ourselves saying :
“Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.”
” How long halt ye between two opinions? if the Lord be God, follow him:”

What God wants 4 – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
God is looking for Love.
There are 3 kinds of Love: Agape : This is Gods love for us. A love like I have for my child and you for your children. You would jump in front of a train to save their life. “No greater love is there, than a man giving his life for another.”
Then there is Phillio love : or brotherly love, a love we have for those we care for, brotherly love.
Eros love: Lust, our favorite, which eventually wares off and we end up with devorce.
Gods love is such that He kept trying to find a people who would love and obey Him.
Many years later, we find Abram, who becomes Abraham because he believed the promise of God, At 100 years old he would Father many nations.
He did and the Old Testament is full of the stories of the Hebrews or Jews, The Lords chosen people. They loved the Lord, fell into sin, began to be enslaved by this sin. Cried out to the Lord.
The Lord forgives them and sends Moses, Joshua then Judges to save them: Best known are Gideon, Samson and 10 others, this goes on for hundreds of years. Love God, fall away, troubles, cry out to God, God saves, Love God….repeat …….again and again.
Then the people want to be like all the other Nations and have a king. Saul, David (a man after Gods own heart), a sinner who knew how to repent. Solomon and many more, love God, fall away, (repeat over and over) untill He sent His Son.
John 3:16-17
King James Version (KJV)
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.”

What God wants 3 -The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
God had created man to walk with, have fellowship with. They had only one rule. Don’t eat the fruit of a certain tree. They broke the rule.
Adam had disappointed God because of His disobedience. Many years pass, people are multiplying on earth and God finally finds what He is looking for.
And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
Genesis 5:21-24
King James Version (KJV)
“And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:” (who lived 900+ years)
“And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years. And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”
All we know of Enoch we find in Hebrews 11 and Jude.
Hebrews 11:4-5
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
Jude 1:23-24
“And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.”
Enoch pleased God, walked with God, believed that God is and that God rewards those who are diligent in seeking Him.
In Jude we learn of the Lords second comming and judgment.
To me Enoch is one of the most interesting Bible figures….to please God and to walk right up to heaven. He is alive in heaven with God today.
Here we have one who walked with God. Many years pass, man becomes vial, sexual sin, greed, murder, the Lord desides to destroy the earth. Yet again, one man stands out:
“And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord hath cursed. And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.”
Genesis 6:7-9
“And the Lord said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them. But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”
Noah built the Ark and his family repopulated the earth. God was still seeking a people who would walk with Him. To truly, love trust and depend on Him.
This new group of folks were not any better then the last group.

What God wants 2 -The Fix-it Shop -Filling Station
The early followers of Jesus were only called Christians, in derision by the heathens.
They were called by Jesus, Desiples.
A Desiple is someone who studies Gods Word and attempts to follow His precepts, a person who comes to a love relationship with Jesus.
Who have one thing they absolutely know: GOD IS LOVE.
To explain this love it is really best to go back to creation. To put it simply God made man in His image to have some sort of relationship. He would walk in the garden in the cool of the day,with Adam and Eve.
I know you have heard this but I feel I must elaborate. At that time thete was no death, no work, no pain, just fellowship with God.
Man could do anything and eat anything except the fruit of the tree of knowledge. They knew no sin, shame or guilt until they ate of tree of knowledge of good and evil.
At that point death came into the world. For that one little, stupid act.
Disobedience of God. Now people lived almost a thousand years before physical death but Spiritual death was immediate. No more relationship with God.
God didn’t give up.

What God wants: -The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Why was man created? How do we explain Gods love for us? How do we make people understand Gods plan of Salvation and love?
I have been asking this question to myself for years. I have seen many ministries try to teach people how to lead folks to the Lord. The Roman Road…is one I’ve got on this sight under the “Salvation Way”.
Unless people are halfway to belief, this is really useless. What’s wrong with my life? Who are you to say I’m a sinner? Who made you God?
If they don’t know why man was created, I believe they will have a hard time accepting our “Judgement ” of their lives.
So, why did God create man?
I believe the answer is: To walk with Him, in the cool of the day. God simply wanted a people with a Freewill to choose to Love, Honer and Obey Him. Adam failed.
Enoch chose the way we need to follow. “Enoch walked with God and was not, because God took him.”
The thing The Lord requires of us is to learn to Love, Honer and Obey, to walk with Him.
A more lengthy explanation to follow.

Directions for pleasing God: -The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
Psalm 37:23-24
King James Version (KJV)
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.”
Psalm 37 tells us how to please God:
:1. Fret not thyself
Fret not, is mentioned 3 times in this Psalm : “because of evildoers, fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.”
In short, worry about your own walk with God first. Get your life straight and leave others alone. God will take care of the rest.”
:2. Trust in the Lord,
Trust in the Lord: ” and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
:3. Delight thyself also in the Lord:
Delight in the Lord: ” and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. he (The Lord ) delighteth in his (your) way.”
:4. Commit thy way unto the Lord;
Commit thy way unto the Lord: ” trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.” Commitment doesn’t mean much if not joined with Trust.
:5. Rest in the Lord,
Rest in the Lord: ” and wait patiently for him: fret not ” Rest, Wait, Fret not all in one, this comes from commitment and trust.
:6. Cease from anger,
Cease from anger: (now He’s meddling ) ” and forsake wrath: fret not ” again building one from another, all relie on the others.
:7. Depart from evil, and do good
Depart from evil: ” and do good; and dwell for evermore. For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.”
:8. Wait on the Lord, and keep his way,
Wait on the Lord: ” Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.”
:9. Mark the perfect man,
Mark the perfect man: ” and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.”
Are you wondering how to improve your walk with the Lord? The directions are right here:
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.”
Now Lord, help us to walk in them.

3 Lords of the Old Testament
The English language translation of the Old Testament is troublesome. We have one English word that we use for 3 different Hebrew/Chaldee words. The word that is so overused is Lord.
In Genesis 1 we find that God (Elohim in the Hebrew/Chaldee language and means Creator/Ruler), created the heaven and earth. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. The Ruach or breath or breeze of Elohim moved upon the face of the waters.
We see the Lord mentioned for the first time here:
Genesis 2:4
King James Version (KJV)
4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
The Lord mentioned in Genesis 2:4 is from the Hebrew word Yahweh, which the Hebrew people were not allowed to speak. So they added a few vowels to make it Yahovah, which in turn we made Jehovah. Which means the Self Existent or Eternal One. This is the word used must often for the God of Old Testament, the law, or as I think of Him, Father God.
We have the word lord translated from the Hebrew word Adoni, which means a physical man, a ruler, rich man of that time.
Than we have The Lord from the word Adonay, another name for the Lord, which means Sovereign Controller.
Psalm 110:1
King James Version (KJV)
110 The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. Jehovah said to Adonay. So I read it as the Father talking to the Son.

Professing themselves to be wise – The Fix-it Shop-Filling Station
they became fools,
Is it hate to disagree with and protest the direction and moral decline of our country. No; but the left will claim we are hate filled because we agree with the Word of God.
It is foolish to think this country can continue to be blessed by God when we accept sin as normal.
As a Christian, I call for all who love God, to stand fast, act like a man and stand against a government that doesn’t act in the best interest of her people.
Pray for Godly leaders, who are not afraid to stand for the truth. Who will fight for that we hold dear.
” Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,”
We have fools in places of power. ….God save us.
