THE HOLY SPIRIT is called 'The Spirit of Revelation'. ~ (Ephesians 1:17)

The Holy Spirit manifests His presence as the 'Spirit of Revelation', to uncover mysteries and information He wants to share with you alone for a purpose. He revealed the truth to the apostles and prophets as they wrote the Bible. 

The Spirit of revelation also reveals to individuals, specific messages meant for them when they read the Bible, or listen to sermons/messages conveyed by other means.  He can also manifest His presence through visions and dreams.  When the Spirit of Revelation manifests Himself, you would have prior knowledge of events before they take place, including  hidden details of matters that are of concern to you.  


Note:
(1) The Holy Spirit is the Third Person of the Trinity.  He is GOD.
(2) The Holy Spirit has emotions just like us, and can be pleased, displeased, and grieved.
(3) You must be born-again (i.e accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour) for the Holy Spirit to dwell in you.
(4) We grieve the Holy Spirit when we blaspheme (mock/speak against) Him. In my opinion, that includes denying that He is GOD.  Jesus Christ said blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgivable (Matthew 12:31-32). 

Let us take heed!

GOD will not always accuse, nor will He harbor His anger forever. ~ (Psalm 103:9)

God is long-suffering, and will not always manifest His displeasure. He forgives and forgets our sins when we confess them, and are truly repentant.  However, we should not make it a habit to keep committing sins, for it may get to a point where He will want to do something about it to help us stop altogether for our own sake. That process is called Chastisement, or Divine Discipline (Hebrews 12:6).

Only God decides if it is necessary to discipline us, how, and when He will.  This is why it is very important that we ask for His Mercy and Grace every morning to live holy.

Note:  You do not have this privilege if you have heard about the Gift of Salvation through JESUS CHRIST but refused to accept it, for the Bible says, God is angry with the wicked everyday (Psalm 7:11).

JESUS CHRIST is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. ~ (Revelation 5:5)

A lion is known for his strength, fearful disposition, and the thundering sound of his roar. He is thus recognized as the king of the forest. Jesus had the characteristics of a lamb when He came the first time, but will return as a lion the second time, with kingly authority, power, and fierce judgment.  


Jesus has the divine nature of the Father, and can be compared to a lion for His great strength, the thundering sound of His voice (Psalm 68:33), and His fury against the wicked. This title particularly symbolizes Him as a Strong Fighter against the enemy, and highlights His human lineage (Hebrews 7:14).

THE MISCONCEPTION: 

A spiritual movement called the 'Rastafarians Movement' believes The LION OF JUDAH represents Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, crowned November 2nd 1930 with the titles 'KING OF KINGS', 'LORD OF LORDS', Conquering 'LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH' mentioned in the Book of Revelation (because he is a direct descendant of the Israelite Tribe of Judah through the lineage of King David and Solomon), 'ELECT OF GOD AND POWER OF THE TRINITY', and the 'MESSIAH'. Millions of souls are being led along the path of destruction because of the false 'Rasta Doctrine' – the same doctrine that the popular late musician Bob Nesta Marley lived by, and attempted to propagate worldwide. Gladly, He surrendered to Jesus shortly before He died.

Let it be known that there is no human being worthy of these titles, and that none should be reverenced as such (Exodus 20:4). JESUS CHRIST IS THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH mentioned in the Book of Revelation, the only Way to the Father, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6). He is the One who paid the penalty for our sins (2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 4:25)- a sacrifice no human being has ever made, and will never be capable of making. May we be guided in Jesus' Name, Amen.


How Can I Receive Jesus Christ As My Lord and Saviour, Today?

THE HOLY SPIRIT is called 'The Spirit of Knowledge'. ~ (Isaiah 11:2)

The Holy Spirit manifests His presence as the Spirit of Knowledge, to acquaint us with facts and information concerning a particular matter. When we have the Spirit of Knowledge, we are able to distinguish between good and evil, and see the circumstances of life as God sees them. 

We can grow in the knowledge of God if we rely on the Spirit of Knowledge, following which we would have greater spiritual insight into other areas of our lives.

When the Spirit of knowledge abides in you, you would be able to discern the true nature of things, people, and their motives. You must be a good listener and be prepared to be teachable, for the Spirit of Knowledge to be manifested.


Note

You must be born-again (accept JESUS CHRIST as your Lord and Saviour) for the Holy Spirit to dwell in you.

GOD sends His command to the earth; His Word runs swiftly. ~ (Psalm 147:15)

There is power in the Word of God.  As His Word goes forth, it accomplishes the purpose for which it was sent.  God commanded there to be light, and there was light (Genesis 1:3). Psalm 107:20 also says that when He sent His Word to His people, it healed and delivered them from destruction. 

A Word from God can change your life. How often do you read or listen to His Word? How much of His Word do you use to your advantage?
