HOW TO RECEIVE & ACTIVATE THE GIFT OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES.

Thread: 1/15

 John the Baptist introduces Jesus: "After me will come One more powerful than I. I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit" Mark 1v7-8

Jesus did not baptize anybody with the Holy Spirit while He was on earth. HE BAPTIZES NOW in the Spirit.
This is one truth about Jesus Christ that the four gospels unequivocally testifies to.
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
He baptizes now in the Spirit!

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!
Now tell me, what did we do to qualify for salvation? Nothing! We simply believed the testimony of God's Word & were saved. When we cried for mercy we knew He was merciful & gracious enough to forgive us.

What about the baptism of the Spirit? Is He now holding it back from us?
"He that spared not His Son but gave Him up for us all, how shall He not ALONG WITH HIM FREELY give us all things?" Rom 8v32

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!
Which one of you fathers would give your hungry child a snake if the child asked for a fish? As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER IS EVEN MORE READY to give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks.

Luke 11:11, 13 CEV
Did you see that? So what do we need to receive the baptism of the Spirit? Ask Him.

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?
THE REASON SOME ARE YET TO 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.
3. Fear- "How can I say what I don't know, what if I'm cursing God?" It's called "unknown tongues", it's God's wisdom in a mystery. You're not supposed to know it👇🏽

4. Some feel that when the Spirit comes, He takes hold of our mouth & does the speaking. No! You do the speaking!
"I am the LORD your God which brought you out of the Land of Egypt; OPEN YOUR MOUTH WIDE AND I WILL FILL IT." Psalm 81v10

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!
"I WILL.." - just as you will to pray in your understanding, you also will to pray in spirit. The Holy Spirit doesn't will it for us, He only works in us both to will & to do (utterance). Philippians 2v13

"They were filled with the Spirit & BEGAN TO SPEAK in tongues.." Acts 2v4
Now listen, even though the Spirit works in us to will, we can quench the Spirit. 1 Thes 5v19

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
The Spirit guides us gently through instructions of the Word, we either chose to yield or neglect it, but He won't force us.

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!"
How do we yield in faith? #RPN said, "faith is taking sides with the Word of God & making your argument. Faith is the response of your human spirit to the Word of God".

I.e "God's Word says it, & I do it, not because I feel so but because the Word says so" that's faith!
Take your time to meditate on this truth & Christ will give you light. God is not holding back. He's more willing to give than you're ready to receive.

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 💕

@TalhaAhsanEsq It's a very good question, and a complicated one. For starters, the Islamic manuscript tradition is vast both in terms of timespan and geography. As Dr. Shamsy points out in his latest book, the Arabic manuscript tradition is the most vast of any language in the world.

Why are some things given more prioritisation for publication than others? Why are some aspects of the tradition more emphasised than others. There's no single cause behind it.

And there is not necessarily always a sinister motive behind the suppression of some things, but sometimes there is...

It is true that the Hanbalis and Ash'aris had a very contentious and at times acrimonious relationship for much of their history. In later centuries, a sort of truce was reached. Al-Zabidi has said similar in his sharh of Ihya about the identification of 3 groups as Ahl al-Sunna

It seems that these truce efforts also spawned a number of works seeking to mediate the Hanbali-Ash'ari dispute over the nature of Divine Speech, the most contentious of issues between the two camps. A couple of these have been recently published.

“So Moses finished the work.” (Exodus 40:33) I came to the end of my reading in Exodus this morning. To fully appreciate those 5 words, you really need to read the 39 preceding chapters. The whole thing had been such an ordeal, drama from the time God called out to Moses from

the burning bush to the moment he “inspected all the work they had accomplished” in the building of the tabernacle. For starters, Moses wasn’t looking to lead anything but sheep to pasture. He was hiding when God found him. Moses was no volunteer. And even after God called him,

he insisted God find someone else. But the force of the divine call is hard to resist. The people he served nearly drove him nuts. He was supposed to lead a group of worshippers and what he mostly got was whiners. He’d lost his temper over & over. Even thrown the stone tablets

inscribed by the finger of God. Nope. Moses couldn’t say it had gone well. What the whole thing had been was WORK. Unrelenting, frustrating work so detailed that it had to match the divine instructions down to every clasp on endless yards of curtains. There had been some great

moments like the time the people were invited to contribute any personal possessions to the makings of the tabernacle furnishings. They had given so freely, Moses had to tell them to stop. There was that. But overall, what he’d done, what they’d all done, was WORK. Lo & behold,

Now, the doctrine of devotion we shall expound.
After having developed all the qualifications necessary for the practice of devotion (atha), the student


feels no spiritual satisfaction, and therefore (ataḥ), he must now diligently walk the path of devotion. According to Rāmānuja, the teacher of viśiṣṭādvaita, there are seven qualifications necessary in a seeker who plans to pursue devotion. They are:


(1) Discrimination in food (viveka), (2) Freedom from desire (vimukha), (3) Practice (abhyāsa), (4) Habit of doing good to others (kriyā), (5) Purity in thought, word and deed, non-violence, charity, and such other virtues (kalyāṇa), (6) Cheerfulness (anavasāda), and (7) Absence

6.Bab-al-hajj
7.bab-al-iman
8.bab-al-dhikr
Each gate has a name describing the kinds of people who will enter through these

1. Jahannam
2. Ladha'
3. Saqar
4. Al-Hutamah
5. Jaheem
6. Sa'eer
7. Al-Haawiyah

Allah mentions seven gates of Hell in Surah Hijr of Glorious Qur'an.

Allah says in Qur'an:
"And indeed, Hell is the promised place for them all."
"It has seven gates; for every gate is of them a portion designated."
(Qur'an :Al-Hijr 15: Verse 43,44)

Each level of Jahannam not only contains different temperature, but also have different punishments and also contain different people.
The gates of Hell are structured one gate below the other descending.

It is said that the one who bears the dust thrown from the hoof of Gaumata on his head, as if taking a bath in the water of the teerth sthalam and getting rid of all sins.


Ved and all other Hindu scriptures venerate the cow. The Vedic dictionary, Nighantu, gives amongst other synonyms of 'Gau' [ or cow] the words 'Aghnya', 'Ahi', and 'Aditi'.

Yaska the vedic decoder and commentator on Nighantu, defines these as-

Aghnya —— the one that ought not to be killed
Ahi —— the one that must not be slaughtered.
Aditi —— the one that ought not to be cut into pieces.

These three names of cow signify that this is an animal which should not to be put to tortures. These words appear frequently throughout the Veda in context of the cow.

But in due course the falsehood of killing cows spread far and wide and they became even more deep rooted when western scholars with their half baked knowledge of Sanskrit transliterated these interpretations of commentaries of Sayanacharya ,

#Thread Two divine forms of Khatu Shyam ji...


On the day of Amavasya, devotees get the darshan of Shyam Baba in Shyam varan (black color). In ordinary days, the form of Baba is saffron. The reason for this is a custom. The real head of Shyam Baba which had appeared from Shyam Kund is of Shyam varan.


Every day Shyam Baba's grand Shringar is done by Pujaris. The main part of Shyam Baba's shringar is Tilak. This Shringar is done by the members of Nij Mandir sevaks. The sevaks of the Nij Mandir do sandalwood tilak to Baba everyday in the auspicious time.


This Divine Tilak is applied from the forehead to the nose. When Baba is given a bath by sevaks, this tilak comes off. Then in the auspicious time, the sevaks again apply tilak to Baba.


There is no auspicious time on the Amavasya. Because of this, tilak is not done on that day. That's why devotees have darshan of Shyam Baba on the Amavasya only in the actual real form (Shyam Swaroop). Baba's tilak is done on Amavasya only on the day of Deepawali.

One fascist to watch in 2021 is Joseph Charles "Oakman" Golinske of SE MI. He's been a Proud Boy for a couple years, but took a break recently from the group and promotes himself through the "Oak Nation" channel on Telegram.


Most people may be familiar with him as the tall guy in the Proud Boys bridge shot, from their August 17, 2019 attack on Portland, which featured an American Guard bus trying (and failing) to bludgeon antifascists with hammers.


He was also with his g/f at the time (Dominique Tota, left of Tarrio), and that's definitely a twitter account folks will want to block/report because he posts on it.


He's been plenty active at the pro-Covid/anti-mask/ReOpen protests in Lansing MI, seen here with Jerry Wayne and an effigy of Gretchen Whitmer, who his militia friends tried to kidnap and publicly execute.


Outside of the Proud Boys, his solo "career" with Oak Nation features the same misogyny, classism and gateway to far-right domestic terrorism the Proud Boys themselves feature. Here's him peddling oxychlorinque and bragging about harassing service workers.

Some quick thoughts on Sam Gyimah's resignation after conversations with various Conservative MPs: 1) the chances of a second referendum are a lot higher than I thought:

2) At this point, if you are a young and ambitious Tory MP it is now so overwhelmingly in your interest to vote against the withdrawal agreement. V v hard to see how Julian Smith can cap rebellion at under 100:

3) Really just to reiterate 1) Gyimah is the kind of "No, never gonna rebel" vaguely pro-EU Tory you'd need to get on side to outweigh Labour Leavers and Real Concerners.
