Amazed once again:  theunfetteredpreacher 

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote serving God, Spiritual living , , , , ,

The other night at Bible study, I was once again shocked and amazed.  Why you ask?

Because people will sit and cling to a wrong belief, even when faced with 60+ scriptures, that show them wrong.

Is this a case of losing their Salvation?   No, not at all, but it would lead to a deeper understanding and walk with the Lord.

It is sad, that the Church has taken the revelations of the Denominational founders to be truth, and have rejected any further revelation. 

That’s all there is, folks.  Nothing to see here.

That is why our Churches have died.  They have no real power.   People aren’t healed by the shadow of Pastor Paul….  Apostle Adam, or Prophet Peter.

No we just hear hot air.  They share the Gospel, but it is lacking the Power of God.

What is this simple truth, that is not accepted? 

That the Lord, is God the Father.  God, is God the Son.  

(Please read Jesus in the Old Testament,  find it in the menu.  You should also check out, the Spirit of God against the Spirit of the LORD.)

If you won’t do that, at least think on this verse.

Genesis: 3. 8. 
“And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.”
Was the Lord God talking to Himself?  Or was it a conversation between two, the Lord and God?

If you would study the Word.  The truth becomes self evident. 

I understand this is not in our Church teachings.   It is in the Word.  Which do you rely on?   

Please, do not be afraid to comment.


Day 74, 2017: Gods enimies are in His Church: theunfetteredpreacher 

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote ABANDONED CAROLINE, serving God , , , , ,

Psalms 74, is a cry out to God.  

Where are You Lord?  What has happened to Your Church?  Why is it Powerless,  Impotent, Dead?

How long Oh Lord, will Your enemies triumph over us?

Psalm 74:4  (NOG)

“Your opponents have roared inside your meeting place.
They have set up their own emblems as symbols.”

We have the Symbols of Religion,  the Rituals of Righteousness, the Form and Framework of Godliness.

Yet, the Power of the Holy Spirit is missing.   Why?

Psalm 74:9-12.  (NOG)

“We no longer see miraculous signs.
There are no prophets anymore.
No one knows how long this will last.

How long, O Elohim, (God), will the enemy insult us?

Will the enemy despise you forever?
Why do you hold back your hand, especially your right hand?
Take your hands out of your pockets.
Destroy your enemies![a]

And yet, from long ago Elohim (God), has been my Melek,  (king, of old),

the one who has been victorious throughout the earth.”  (Bringing Salvation).

The Kingdom of God is at hand.   The Power,  Majesty,  the Glory and Honor, the Comfort, Peace, Grace and Love of God, is here.

We just need to remember how to believe.  To become that trusting child of God.  

One who knows, “My God shall supply all my needs, according to His riches in glory, in Christ Jesus.”

It is do much easier, to do, then to rest in Him.  

If the Lord would take my advise…  

I would be leading souls to Him by the thousands, the sick would be healed, the dead raised.

Instead, I am once again, bemoaning the fact, that I am a sinner, saved by His Grace.

He seems to have His hands in His pockets, allowing us to run His Ship, aground.

Lord, “They that wait upon the Lord, shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”

Lord, teach me to wait.   Amen


It seemed good to me: The Holy Spirit: theunfetteredpreacher

“It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first.”  (Luke 1)

Luke, had perfect understanding.   Me, not so much.  But this, “one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.”

Sometimes we have eyes that cannot see, and ears that do not hear.  Then the Lord, reveals Himself to us.   

The Lord opened my eyes, allowing me to understand,  that which was before, hidden. 

The Holy Spirit.   First mentioned in Genesis 1, as the “Spirit of God.”  Covered the earth.  (Gen.1:2)    (see:  “Do we know the Holy Spirit?”)

This Spirit,was with Joseph,  brought him from slavery to be a Savior of the Hebrews and Egyptians.  

So that Pharaoh said unto his servants, “Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?”

The “Spirit of God,” was given to Bazaleel, a Spirit of wisdom, understanding, knowledge and all manner of workmanship, to build God’s house.

That same Spirit is given to us to build His Kingdom.

This same Spirit, is given for Prophecy, the Gifts of the Spirit.   All for our use, to build the Kingdom.

Daniel, Enoch, Noah the Prophets, the preachers of righteousness, relied on the “Spirit of God.”

Then we find the “Spirit of the LORD.”  First in Judges.  This Spirit is a Warrior Spirit, it guides,directs, empowers those who receive it for Battle.      (See:  “Meet the Spirit of the Lord:”)

Gideon,  Samson, Jephthah, Saul, David, all relied on the “Spirit of the LORD.”  All men of War.

Then we find the “Holy Spirit.”   These are the verses we find naming the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament. 

Psalm: 51. 11. Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.

Isaiah: 63. 10. But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.

Isaiah: 63. 11. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?

14 As a beast goeth down into the valley, the Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest: so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.

Daniel 4:8
But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my God, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and before him I told the dream, saying,

Daniel 4:9
O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

Daniel 4:18
This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.

Daniel 5:11
There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.

These are the verses that speak of the “Holy Spirit,” in the Old Testament.   It appears to me to line up with the “Spirit of God,” more than the “Spirit of the LORD.” 

We will next look at the Holy Spirit/ Holy Ghost.   Both terms interchangeable in the KJV New Testament. 

We might be surprised…  lol

Joy, Down in my heart:  theunfetteredpreacher 

bill theunfetteredpreacher cote serving God, Spiritual living , , , , ,

Well, I ‘ve got Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy,  Down in my heart.   WHERE?   Down in my heart, Down in my heart.

I’ve got the peace that passes understanding, Down in my heart.  WHERE?  Down in my heart, today.

Yeah, I’m so happy.  So very happy.  I’ve got the Love of Jesus, deep down in my heart. _/`_/`(music?)

Why Joy, Peace and Love today?

I am joyful today, because I realize, I feel good, healthy, strong, and steady.  I ‘ve not used a cane in a week.

My hand is almost pain free, freedom is back in my piano playing.

 I think the biggest reason for my Joy, is my Bible Study last night. 

For the first time, I was able to share the start of my study:  Jesus in the Old Testament.

We started out with the contrast between the Spirit of God, (Do we know the Holy Spirit: (post)), and the Spirit of the Lord,  (Meet the Spirit of the LORD:  (post)). 

Which explains a Spirit of wisdom, understanding and knowledge, prophecy, and the Gifts of the Spirit,  and a Spirit of the Law, the Spirit  giving Skill and Wisdom in Warfare.

It shows the areas that they meet, as well as the differences in the qualities of the Lord and God.  Or as I will show, Grace and the Law and the Father and Son. 

Please, check out those posts, and watch for my post on the Holy Spirit/Ghost.

Biblical Revelation is available to those who seek His Face.  Whosoever will.

Please leave your comments or questions.   Jesus is alive snd well.  He was alive and well in the Old Testament, also.

Lord, open our hearts and eyes.   Amen
