  • Ileana Pierra on John 14:20 - 10 years ago
    I was led to a new church yesterday by God for my first visit God placed a follower member to minister Truth to me as the service began to come to a close. This man used by God showed me biblical scripture that proved I had not yet received the Holy Ghost although I had been saved, born again, received Christ and baptized back in 2004. At first I was offended by him to think that he was suggesting the Holy Spirit was not in me, however I listened quietly and patiently. The more I listened, the more God spoke to my heart and the more I could see through actual scripture that millions of Christians have been Baptized by un scriptural means. The only way to receive the Holy Ghost is to be Baptized IN and only IN the NAME of JESUS CHRIST not as many churches do, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I got baptized yesterday for the second time since receiving Christ in 2004 right there and then in the back of this church in the NAME OF JESUS CHRIST "only " and as soon as I came up above the water I began to speak in tongues. I had never spoken in tongues before until just yesterday. I feel renewed, and like a piece of the puzzle that was missing is now in place. I feel joy and excitement and enthusiasm like I have not felt in a long time in my Christian walk. Fast forward to this moment, just now the Lord Jesus brought me to John 14 and as I read through this chapter, verse 20 jumped out at me not to be confused with verse 16 where the word messenger s in plural is used. The word messenger in verse 20 is being used to signify The Holy Ghost. I feel Jesus brought me to this verse today to acknowledge the TRUTH I received and experienced yesterday....The Holy Ghost, the one and true messenger of Jesus, the Great Counselor, I am now in HIM and HE is in me and the Father in me, and now yesterday I met the Holy Ghost for the first time the trinity, I am now complete as the Lord intended me to be since 2004 when I first received Him. I can 't help but think how many Christians are in the dark about this as I was and knowing this new TRUTH now I feel compelled to share. If you have been baptized in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit..that is not scriptural. Get yourself to a church that baptizes in the name of JESUS CHRIST alone and receive the fullness that Christ has in store for you. Acts 19 5 speaks of this Truth. I think this is the reason I was lukewarm...I was missing the Holy Ghost.
