I was reading in Galatians 5 16-26 where if you are led by the “Spirit ” that you are not bound by law. Glory to GOD . Imagine having such character traits that uncleanliness at any level can not affect you . Verse 24 specifically states that if we belong to CHRIST JESUS that we have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires!!! GOD is GOOD!!!
Asking GOD to send HIS HOLY GHOST into my soul is something which I must do on a daily basis; sometimes more. There seems to be just so much wrong with me that I am afraid to face any day without HIS presence deep inside of me working to keep my mind above the matters of this world. Praise GOD!!!
When people of this world look upon me I want them to see the fruit of HIS Spirit. Being filled with HIS HOLY GHOST gives birth to Love , Joy , Peace , Patience , Kindness , Goodness , Faithfulness , Gentleness , and Self-Control . Now that there is some Good Fruit!!! Amen!!!
Time to return to the kitchen. Folks here in Kissimmee are starting to get hungry. It’s about time!!! I think that I will prepare some Fruit Salad!!!
I Love you !!!!!!! Mark

Like you and most of the world I too once thought of GOD in human characteristics (head, arms, legs …). That’s the thinking that leads people to believe that god is three persons in one.
Ask yourself: How can a god in human form be everywhere at once? He can’t but a SPIRIT can. The clues to understanding this concept can be found in John 17:21. In that verse, Christ prayed to GOD (why would god pray to GOD?) asking HIM to let the Apostles be in him just as he was in the FATHER and the FATHER was in him.
It’s a tough concept to understand. But if you believe demons can be in people than why can’t GOD be in people? If GOD’S in you then you are one with GOD but you are not really god. However, having HIM in you is sure to give you access to some very special powers and gifts.
Thus I believe Christ was and is one with GOD but he himself is not god but GOD is in him. GOD being a SPIRIT. Thus I DON”T believe the holy ghost is a unique being from GOD THE FATHER. What I mean to say is the holy ghost is NOT a different person or being from GOD THE FATHER. It’s just another name for GOD THE FATHER that ends up confusing people. GOD THE FATHER is a spiritual being not a superior being with human characteristics. Thus, I believe there is ONE and ONLY ONE GOD but HE (the SPIRIT that HE is) can be in anyone HE wants to be in. Thus the gift you get if you are BORN AGAIN OF THE SPIRIT (become one with the SPIRIT or should I say with GOD) is the gift of eternal life via becoming a true child of GOD (HIS son and/or daughter). It’s the gift Christ asked for his apostles in John 17:21 ( I pray that they may all be one. Father! May they be in us, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they be one, so that the world will believe that you sent me).
Do you remember what Christ said in John 3:3 (I am telling you the truth: no one can see the Kingdom of God without being born again.) and in John 3:6 ( A person is born physically of human parents, but is born spiritually of the Spirit.)? My prayer is that GOD has given me the right documentation to help you understand or at least make you want to investigate these religious concepts for yourselves.
I thank GOD for making this message possible.
