If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" Luke 11:13 ESV https://bible.com/bible/59/luk.11.13.ESV The simplicity in this verse astounds me.  Ask The Heavenly Father for the Holy Spirit, and He will give it to you.  Amen!  It's that easy. It does not require a marathon. Ask the Heavenly Father is literally the definition of prayer..."address a solemn request or expression of thanks to a deity or other object of worship." Jesus taught us how to pray.  Pray then like this: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. * For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Matthew 6:9‭-‬13‭ ESV The templa...

And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.  Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Matthew 28:18‭-‬19 NKJV All authority is given to Me- singular. So if all power belongs to Jesus,  the power of salvation is conclusively in Jesus.  Jesus --in saying to baptize in the name (singular) of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit-- is revealing a truth to his disciples. I AM. I Am the Father. [ If you see me you see the FatherJn 14:8-9]. I Am the Son [the vessel of flesh the Father Who is Spirit inhabits Col. 2:9]. I AM the Holy Spirit [The comforter will be sent in my Name Jn 14:26; I will come to you Jn 14:17-18]. Baptize in my name. Remission of sins is in my name Luke 24:47; Acts10:43. This is why Peter spoke the message in Acts 2:38 so assuredly. 

* image from web* 1 5 And Moses turned, and went down from the mount, and the two tables of the testimony were in his hand: the tables were written on both their sides; on the one side and on the other were they written. 17 And when Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said unto Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp. 18 And he said, It is not the voice of them that shout for mastery, neither is it the voice of them that cry for being overcome: but the noise of them that sing do I hear.- Exodus 32:17 Isn't it something that the sound of worship is synonymous with the sound of war?  Now in this passage the people are worshiping an idol. Yet still consider, when  believers worship with passion, excitement, and in the shout of triumph, we confuse the enemy. He knows he must prepare for a fight. But when he shows up, his fight is not with the people, it's with the people's God. God fights for us. When we worship, he is enthroned right where ...

Exodus 13:21  And the  Lord  went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night.  22  The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people. Night or Day the guidance of God will lead you.  When you repent ( walk out of Egypt), and surrender to his leadership ( by faith in baptism in His name and receiving his Spirit), He will be exactly what you need in all seasons. His Spirit will not ever depart from you.  To find out more about this life-transforming experience feel free to email us at onemessage.onefaith@gmail.com. 

image from http://shows.sight-sound.com/2015season/moses.html God called. Moses resisted. Excuse after excuse, Moses whined about his inabilities. "Send someone else", Moses advised. And if it were me, that would have been the end of Moses's story. But like an old hymn reminds us "he looked beyond our faults and saw", for Moses his true potential. So it would seem the Lord took pity on Moses, knowing his frame [Psalm 103:14] and presented him with a counter offer. He would not send someone besides Moses, he would send someone beside Moses- Aaron, Moses' brother. From the point in the story between Exodus 4:27 to Exodus 8:20 God strategically positions Moses to assume his God-ordained role. Moses is still the one God speaks to, but he is instructed to tell Aaron what to say. Aaron speaks God's words, and carries out his instructions. Exodus 8:5. Exodus 8:16. A few times, the scripture indicates Moses and Aaron are given a task to execute tog...

Photo cred: https://fromthemarginsofmybible.wordpress.com/ Moses has been commissioned by God to go before Pharaoh and tell him to let the Hebrew children go. Moses responds with fear and insecurity and makes excuse after excuse  to prove why he is not the man for the job. Obviously God knows otherwise and still sends Moses on his way, providing him Aaron as his leaning post. Like a father teaching his son to ride a bike, however, God works with Moses, because he knows, more than Moses does, what Moses is able to do. 21  And the  Lord  said to Moses, “When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. But I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go. - Exodus 4:21   27  And the  Lord  said to Aaron, “Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.” So he went and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.  28  So Moses told Aaron all the words of the...
