HOW TO RECEIVE & ACTIVATE THE GIFT OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES.
Thread: 1/15
Jesus did not baptize anybody with the Holy Spirit while He was on earth. HE BAPTIZES NOW in the Spirit.
See Matth 3v11, Mark 1v7-8, Luke 3v16, John 1v33
"He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit". But nobody was baptized with the Spirit while He was on earth, until after He ascended-Acts 1v5-8
Why is this truth important? Because for the most part Christians have developed this habit of separating salvation from every other experience in Christ.
Just as Jesus is the Savior; Jesus is the Healer; Jesus is the baptizer in the Spirit!
What about the baptism of the Spirit? Is He now holding it back from us?
Jesus is God's best. The best gift God could have given anyone is JESUS. So if God didn't hold back Jesus from us, He's not holding back anything else!
Luke 11:11, 13 CEV
God is not holding back. "He that asks, receives". It means when we ask of Him, He gives us without hesitation.
So what happens when you ask? You received. But why don't you speak in tongues?
1. Their assumptions. They suppose that they have to FEEL something, like shouting & rolling on the floor. But Bible didn't tell us that.
2. Sin consciousness. They feel they're too filthy & unworthy to receive the HOLY Spirit.
4. Some feel that when the Spirit comes, He takes hold of our mouth & does the speaking. No! You do the speaking!

He is our teacher. We speak, He gives the utterance - the ability to speak well.
Let's see something in 1 Cor 14v14-15: the word "I WILL" is used 4 times!

"They were filled with the Spirit & BEGAN TO SPEAK in tongues.." Acts 2v4
Even though we've received the gift of the Spirit, we can neglect it. 1 Tim 4v14
It's up to us to stir up the gift of God which we have received! Stir it up! Don't be afraid! 2 Tim 1v6
Just like the house of Cornelius, He's willing to fall on you now if you'll yield in faith (Acts 10v44-46) "While Peter yet spoke the Holy Spirit fell!"
I.e "God's Word says it, & I do it, not because I feel so but because the Word says so" that's faith!
If you need someone to pray with you, my DM Is open. I'm not the Baptizer in the Spirit, no man is, Jesus is!
Shalom 💕

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.
The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.
This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.
The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."
This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
If everyone was holding bitcoin on the old x86 in their parents basement, we would be finding a price bottom. The problem is the risk is all pooled at a few brokerages and a network of rotten exchanges with counter party risk that makes AIG circa 2008 look like a good credit.
