    The spirit of God is ready to do wonders that will surprise people and make them testify to his goodness only if we allow him totally and believe in him... Having the holy spirit is a great thing which will give us power to command things

    Can we see why Hebrew 10:25 talks about not forsaking the gathering of the brethren ? If they were more than that in that room, so far they are waiting for one purpose, even the person that joined the 12 yesterday got the Holy Spirit🔥 the other one not chosen to be the 12th got it, just everyone staying with them in one accord. And the good part of it is - The Holy Spirit gives utterance so you don’t bother about it, no thought process involved. I was telling a friend today that if it makes sense and convenient to your flesh, it might not be the Holy Spirit; see them thinking they were drunk 😂 yes but not in wine 🍷 rather with the Holy Spirit. It isGOD’s plan to give everyone the gift of the Spirit, for us all to have power and courage like Peter. What I know is that the problem always lies with the receiving end…… The we all see Peter talking about David like they were together during his time (confidence)

    Peter highlighted what it takes to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit and I will highlight it just in case 1st step - Repentance: there’s no way a sinner will receive this gift (I have a question later for this part) 2nd step - be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Meaning accept and believe in the Holy name of our Lord Christ, that way you can come to the authentication/activation of your sins that was paid for in credit (claiming what has been done, how sweet is that 🤭) 3rd step- nothing else 🥰🌝 you don’t have to do anything, the gift is automatic. Just come, repent, confess and believe. However (I know you don’t like this part) there is a way, a doctrine, a righteousness which should be followed in this kingdom - be separated, really we are not part of them nah, why should we continue in sin like they do ? They (unbelievers) don’t pray so why shouldn’t you? - “They continued steadfast”, “cater for the poor”, “praising GOD”, “favor surrounds them”, “they were glad even with simplicity of the heart”. Wait oooo, GOD Himself was the one adding to the church daily! Why are some pastors trying to help GOD then and do something to have crowd ? Well that’s not my question.

    My question is, my birth church is “Cherubim and Seraphim” not celestial (so we wear slippers but not inside church). First of all, the doctrine of the church made it seem like the gift of the Spirit is limited to certain people called (Alore) and you can train to be one. 2ndly, great number of those mentioned Alore (Lord have mercy, I’m only saying the truth that i know) are the best in sinning, like they collect each other’s husband (it’s mostly ladies so yeah), they fight each other, Infact, the head and most powerful in my church got pregnant 🫄 for my pastor (Rip to him) my pastor was married then oooo 3rdly, their tongue is as described in this Act 2 although they only speak for the edification of the church not selves i.e they speak in tongues for prophecy purpose only, not for themselves and ladies and gentlemen, these people truly see vision (for most part that I witnessed) Question: what do we say is happening there ? Pure sinners (you guyz should know little about it) speaking in tongues for prophecy! And trust me, i will disagree with they were seeing fakes, you know people would rather go to white garment churches than Apostolic if they want exact downloads of the problems (I’m talking too much now 😂). So brethren what is your take?

    @Eyitope, I don’t know the stand of these individuals you mentioned with God but the first thing I want to show you from the scripture is that you shouldn’t be carried away by gifts. “Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭22‬-‭23‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.7.22-23.NKJV They did all those things in God’s name but he said, I never knew you! Another thing I will want to show you is that the God’s gift are irrevocable (Romans 11:29) so you should not use gifts as a yardstick for righteousness. That’s why you see some people with gifts will still come to church and minister under the anointing and the name of the Lord will be glorified even after doing what they aren’t suppose to do. These are the possible explanations I have for the question you asked.

    It is very possible to be propeshying and be walking in sin because they are gift and example is Samson, he was anointed and being used by God but was not in Gods will, the woman Jazabel that was talked about in rev 2:20 So it is very possible to be used by God and not in right standing with him. The thing we should look out for is relationship with God, its not about the gift, read Matthew 7:22-23 The fact that they just made it seems like its for some set of people alone I don't agree with when the Bible clearly says that i will put out my spirit upon all flesh, sons and daughters will prophecy…. It is possible to be a fake prophet. And people will believe it’s true. It’s not just pastors or men of God that sees vision. We have priests ( ifa ) that sees things, it doesn’t make it right. Biblical examples now. In Acts 8:9-11 “But there was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭8‬:‭9‬-‭11‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. The people believed him (Simon the sorcerer) saying this man is a great man of God but he’s a sorcerer. For the people to believe home, he was seeing some certain things through devil. Not God’s spirit. That’s why Awowo will say by what spirit. We have different spirits. Also in Acts 13. This is with Paul and Barnabas now. “Now when they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus,” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭13‬:‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    My difficult verse was vs 17… i wanted to know the difference between dreams and visions. The lesson I learnt here is that all men shall be able to hear from God irrespective of gender or age.

    In simple term dream happens in the subconscious while vision happens when you are conscious. Dream comes when you sleep and God reveals something to you And vision may come maybe when you are praying or even studying the word. An example of that was Peter, when he had a revelation about Cornelius, we can saw that was a vision he was awake and praying when he fell into a trance.
