Controlled By the Holy Spirit

Acts 4:8-10 states the Apostle "Peter being controlled by the Holy Spirit, said..."

Also, we find out that "Ananias went off and entered the city. And having placed his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me on a mission, Yahvahshua [Jesus], He who appeared to you on the road as you were coming, in order that you may recover your sight and be CONTROLLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT."2

Acts 13:9-10 states, "But Saul, who is also called Paul, controlled by the Holy Spirit, having fixed his gaze upon him [Elymas], said, O full of every craftiness and every unscrupulousness, son of the devil, enemy of every righteousness, will you not cease perverting the right ways of the Lord?" In another place it is written that Barnabas "was a good man and controlled by the Holy Spirit and full of faith."3

It was surprising to me that none of the translations of the Bible use the word control, since the original Bible uses the word "control." However, the translations from the other Bibles use many words that mean the same thing, such as dominion, tame, rule, subjection, follower, servant of, slave of, subdue, regulate, restrain, sacrifice, consecrate, moved by the Holy Spirit, lordship, law of the Spirit, power over, grace over, shepherding, obedience, disposal, love,4 and charity. There are many other words in the Bible which also mean control. Many of them are confirmed by Webster's Dictionary. Only those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit are, by the Lord, able to keep the commandments of God, as well as control their words and their lives according to the commandments and purpose of God.5

SIN HAS NO MORE DOMINION

When a person begins being controlled by the Holy Spirit, sin and "death hath no more dominion [or control] over" them.6 Romans 6:13-14 in the original Bible scrolls states, "Put your members as weapons of righteousness at the disposal [control] of God, for then the sinful nature will not exercise lordship [control] over you."

"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after [the control of] the flesh, but after [the control of] the Spirit.7 For the law [or control] of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law [or control] of sin and death8 ...[The light of the law of God's Word exposes sin, thereby destroying it by burning it.] God sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned [the control of] sin in the flesh [by the control of Christ's Holy Spirit living in them]."9

We must receive control of our lives from Christ's Holy Spirit entering into our fleshly bodies. Then we will be filled with Him until we are completely decreased while He is increased so that we may be His instrument. In this way "the righteous requirement of the law may be brought to completion in us." Christ died, was resurrected, gloriously ascended, and now reigns from on high.10 He is now qualified to give us His Holy Spirit for our bodies, which are now His tabernacle. The body that once was ours is now His temple, a reality that we can experience.11 This is the true meaning of salvation. If Christ lives in us by His Spirit, there should no longer be any evidence of our old existence.12 If we receive this by faith, we will have eternal life, the power to overcome, and good health for our sick bodies as well as for others.

Those who are controlled by the flesh mind the things of the flesh. They reap all the things connected with the flesh that are mentioned in God's judgments, things such as death, Hell, diseases, illnesses, and sicknesses. But those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit mind the things of the Spirit.13 According to God's judgment, they receive eternal life, the power of God here on earth, and the end to all demonic influences controlling any part of their spirit. By submitting to the control of the Holy Spirit, we will experience all of God's blessings and enjoy power and peace with God.14

MORTIFICATION

Our spirit is broken at the cross and our old man kept there so that our spirit, with His Spirit, may be risen from His tomb in resurrection with Him. The cross then puts to death every area of our flesh.15 Hence, Christ lives in us. That is, when our flesh is completely subjected to Him, all our self-will and independent activities are denied. Then we will seek nothing but to become a tabernacle of the Lord.16 We will then surely manifest the life of the risen Christ in our mortal bodies. It is heavenly to experience the Lord in all of His powers living in us.

Walking in the unholy trinity, "the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life," means giving in to our uncontrolled ways, our uncontrolled opinions, and our uncontrolled actions.17 It also means walking according to unruliness, which is against God's law, and showing enmity towards Him.18 If we are to be fully delivered by the law, we must first be totally disenchanted with ourselves. We must see ourselves as hopeless without Christ and as useless without His Word, His Spirit, to guide and control us before we can be controlled by His Holy Spirit.

Carrying the cross simply means walking by faith in God's Word, walking according to His good judgments, walking under the control of the Holy Spirit, and enjoying the life of the risen Christ in our mortal bodies.19 The joy brought into our mortal bodies, which is the Spirit of God, controls us as it controls all the sons of God. This power enables His sons to carry the cross.

Jesus came into the world in the flesh as the Son of God, begotten of the Holy Spirit.20 Jesus, our Bridegroom, walked under the control of His own Holy Spirit,21 giving us confidence from the testimony in His Word so that we as His bride could fulfill the law of the Spirit by His living in us.22

After Jesus' death, resurrection, ascension and glorification, all power and dominion (or control) was given to Him to reign in Heaven and on earth.23 Christ, our Bridegroom, enters the newly saved Christian by the Holy Spirit, giving him His power and constantly leading the church as His bride. We are sons of God only after we become His body, only after He lives in us with the Father by the Spirit.24 Everyone who receives salvation will receive this transformation and become a genuine son of God in Christ's body, the church, by the Spirit.25

It is at the time of our salvation that we die to our former sins and our old ways.26 Before life in Christ, we must be dead. Deliverance from the law is only by death.27 No one has ever kept the law but Christ. Therefore, we need Him in us to fulfill the law so that we may become His body. We are received into Heaven in Christ because Christ has been received into Heaven. We are then with Him as fellow citizens with the saints, and belong to the household of God, which is the commonwealth of Israel.28 Because our spirit is now mingled with Christ's Spirit, we are received with Christ above all power and principalities in Heaven and on earth. We now have His power, by Him living in us, so we might reign with Him. We have the power to cast out unclean spirits, sickness, disease, and infirmities, as well as His power to raise the dead.29 As sons of God, we also have God's "power [the Spirit] to tread on serpents and scorpions [which symbolize the evil dwelling in others], and over all the [spiritual] power of the enemy."30 We also have all of God's power over sin, Satan, death, Hell, and the grave.31 We are to fear no evil, for Christ with the Father is in us, with us, and for us.32 Therefore, we must habitually and continually sit in the heavenly place of power 33 with Him where Heaven received us because He was received, shunning every satanic temptation so that our reign with Him may be eternal.34

GOD'S PURPOSE

The city, New Jerusalem, which shall soon be sent from Heaven to earth, is the city that God loves.35 He created it more radiant than the stars, the sun, and the moon.36 He set it as the jewel above all else in the universe.37 He made it an extraordinarily beautiful tabernacle for Him to live in.38 He lived with people and worked in them, reigning in His beautiful sanctuary while they stewarded His work on earth.39 He went away for awhile, commissioning His people (His brethren) to continue His work while He was gone through the same controlling power of the Spirit which controlled Him when He was on earth.40

It is in this beautiful city where He with His bride shall dwell forevermore.41 This radiant city "lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth."42 The city has no need of the sun, or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God lightens it, "and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them...shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth [the redeemed, who are mentioned in Revelation 1:6 and 5:10] do bring their glory and honour into it."43 This glory and honour the sons of God bring into it are the multitude of sons they led to the Lord through the preaching of the Word of God and through Christ's Spirit in them.44 Their only desire was that the kingdom of Heaven be built and established on earth.45 They also knew by the Spirit of God's Word that the entire, eternal purpose of God (other than His judgments) was that He descend from Heaven into all humanity by His Spirit, not only to live in them, but to become fully formed in them to the fullness of the stature of Christ.46 In this way He, by their preaching and their subjecting themselves unto His will and purpose, might have many sons in His one and only begotten Son.47 This was Christ's mission for all the sons of God begotten to God through Him. As Jesus states in the original text, even as the Father "sent [Me] off on a mission into the world, so I sent them [the disciples, the sons of God] off on a mission into the world. And on behalf of them I am setting Myself apart; in order that they themselves also, having been set apart for God in the sphere of the truth, may continually be in that state of consecration [surrendering to God's will so they might reign with Him now and eternally]. But not concerning these only am I making request, but also concerning those who believe on Me through their word, in order that all might be one [become the SONS OF GOD], even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, in order that they themselves also might be in Us, to the end that the world may be believing that You sent Me on a mission [that the world in Him may also be sent on His mission of gathering sons to God, making them one in His Son, the sons of God. This fulfills God's only purpose with the exception of His judgment]. And as for Myself, the glory which You have given Me, I have given them, in order that they might be one even as We are one, I in them and You in Me, in order that they, having been brought to the state of completeness with respect to oneness [in God as sons of God], may persist in that state of completeness, to the end that the world might be understanding that You sent Me on a mission and that You loved them even as You loved Me."48

Other than God's judgment, God's only goals are to restore fallen humanity back to His Son 49 as well as to restore His creation, the earth, back to its original beautiful state for His children to live with Christ eternally.50 His purpose in judging all things is to ensure that only His Son, all His new sons in Christ, and His perfect creation may remain.51 Without judgment, God's purpose could never be achieved.52 "According to the eternal purpose which He purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: In whom we have boldness and access [to Heaven] with confidence by the faith of Him."53

During the consummation of this work, the power of God in them will prevail over every obstacle of the devil that attempts to thwart this most honorable, noble, holy, eternal, and only purpose of God.54 This power over the devil has been mercifully accomplished by God and given unto us as His sons. 55

When Christ was here with men on earth, as we are now, He stated "I can of Mine own self do nothing."56 "The Father that dwelleth in Me, He doeth the works." 57 Paul confessed this as well.58 This is the entire eternal purpose of God in Christ Jesus "Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works [of the flesh], but according to His own purpose and grace [power], which [purpose of winning many sons unto Him] was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, But [the purpose] is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light [the mystery of God's purpose is now understood] through the gospel: Whereunto I [the Apostle Paul] am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a teacher of [God's purpose to] the Gentiles."59

Paul stated, "I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection [by the Holy Spirit's control]: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway."60 Here Paul affirms that we do the works of God by Christ doing those works in us.61 If the sons of God decide to no longer allow Him to do His works in them, that is, gathering sons unto Himself for God's only purpose, they will become castaways "antichrists" which means they are no longer saved.62 Christ purchased us with His precious, holy, sinless blood then resurrected us unto eternal life by His Holy Spirit.63 We are not our own any longer but are His, 64 living sacrifices for Him to use as He will.65 Therefore, our speech and deeds can no longer be our own but His.66

FAITH

In the original Bible, Jesus said to Nicodemus, "Most assuredly, I am saying to you, unless a person is born out of water as a source, even out of the Spirit as a source, he is not able to enter the kingdom of God [because it is the Spirit of God that makes a man a son. God's kingdom is a spiritual kingdom.67 ] That which has been born out of the flesh is flesh and by nature, fleshly. And that which has been born out of the Spirit, is Spirit, and by nature, spiritual."68 We must be men of the Spirit because flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of Heaven.69

The holy men writing the Bible "spake as they were moved [or controlled] by the Holy Spirit."70 We are never to say or do anything beyond that which God's Spirit causes us to say or do.71 If we recognize our body as a temple of the Holy Spirit we shall follow Him in all His glory and in love [His control]. "This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments."72 It is impossible to keep His commandments without the Spirit controlling us. Jesus stated, "The words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit, and they are life."73 In the original Bible Jesus also stated, "The Son is not able to be doing by Himself anything except that which He is seeing the Father doing; for whatever things that One is doing, these things also the Son in like manner is doing."74 Here Christ tells us that He was totally controlled by the Holy Spirit of God. 75 He says this repeatedly so that we will use this formula as our example. There is but one correct interpretation of the Bible. The Word of God was dictated to the holy men of God by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it has only one interpretation or meaning and that interpretation is the Holy Spirit's interpretation or meaning.76

II Corinthians 10:4 describes the Word of God as a sword.77 It is used as the defense for God's sons while they reign for Him on earth.78 By the means of God's sword, the Word, they do reign. "The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty"79 that is, "spiritual." Satan is a spirit.80 We must fight him with the same spiritual weapon with which Christ fought and defeated him.81 That weapon was and still is the mighty Word of God.82 It is wielded correctly by those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit.

ETERNAL STANDING

Our standing as a son before the Lord is His blood, His Spirit.83 Worldly kingdoms are gained by men using carnal weapons, and are kept by those with these same carnal weapons. How much more then should the kingdom of God increase here on earth by God's sons correct use of the weapon of the sword of His Spirit?84 The Word of God, used by His sons reigning in the world, is used by God to overcome the world and win more sons. In this way He invades the world, increasing His kingdom on earth. In John, chapter 15, verse 16, original Bible, Christ talks to His disciples, saying "in order that you might be going away and constantly bearing fruit [gathering sons unto God], and that your fruit [the sons of God] might be remaining, in order that whatever you might ask the Father in My Name, He may give it to you." In verses 7-8, for emphasis Jesus repeats: "If you maintain a living communion with Me and My words are at home in you, I command you to ask, at once, something for yourself, whatever your heart desires, and it will become yours. In this My Father is glorified, namely, that you are bearing much fruit, [gathering more sons of God for Him]." These verses in scripture tell us that God answers the prayers of those who win sons for Him. By not continually bearing fruit, gaining new sons of God for God, you show God that you are not concerned about His only purpose, about your prayers being answered, or about entering Heaven.85 The entire Bible tells us if we win souls to God, we fulfil His purpose.86 By fulfilling God's purpose, we achieve life more abundantly on earth as well as life eternal.87

There is nothing mightier than the testimonies or affirmations in God's Word with which to fight the devil's temptations, to build faith, to experience deliverance such as our salvation, to gain our healing, to strengthen us, and to destroy Satan's hold on all those he holds captive who shall receive Christ.88 The Word, when believed, breaks the chains that hold the world so that the lost may become the sons of God.89 Their names are written in the Lamb's book of life.90 They are out there in the world. God has sent us to gather them.91

The people of the world are shackled by Satan because they believe his words rather than the Words of God. Hence, the world is in a constant state of chaos, confusion, and despair. Jesus stated, "O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil [not believing God, but Satan], speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart [the soul] the mouth speaketh."92 The Apostle James states, "If any man offend not [God] in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle [control] the whole body."93

TEMPER

How is it that our sinless Lord and Saviour, the Almighty,94 always doing what the Holy Spirit did, could call people vipers [snakes],95 dogs,96 pigs,97 liars,98 brute beasts,99 and other insulting names? In the book of Revelation, why does He call the entire apostate church structure "THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH,"100 and the forced world government the beast?101 How could He call the religious leaders wolves,102 fools, blind,103 hypocrites 104 and say "Ye are of your father the devil"105 and "the child of Hell?"106 It is because it is the truth. These words, seemingly harsh to the carnal or satanic ear, are a rebuke or shot from His deity to their evil wickedness of disdain for the Word of God and faith in Satan's words.107

Jesus never lost His temper. Those who are ignorant or corrupted by Satan's darkness say that having righteous indignation against the powers of Satan means having a bad temper. They are wrong. Our Lord has no sin or fault, neither did He perform any act or speak any word of Himself.108 He is in His Father and His Father is in Him.109 Now both dwell inside the sons of God and control them for God's only purpose.110

Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword,"111 the Word. With a scourge He drove the money changers, who were conducting their business in the temple, out of the temple, displaying the perfect, righteous indignation of God towards those who had turned the house of God into a "house of merchandise"112 and "a den of thieves."113 This is small punishment in comparison to what He once did to the world and to what He shall do to the world of unrepentant sinners on the last day, according to His righteous and indisputable judgment.114

The Apostle Paul by the Spirit said we must put unruly ones and sinners out of the church.115 The world needs to learn the true personality of the living God and His children who are led totally by His Spirit. Otherwise, they may continue all through life without knowing that He is a God of wrath and terror as well as a God of love.116 No one can cause God to change His law or His judgments.117 The only way anyone can escape God's wrath and an eternal Hell is to yield to God's way and purpose which is a life in Christ winning souls. This they will do if their souls are precious to them.

It is easy to see how the sons of pride, who leave faith behind and take their own reasoning as their guide, are drowned.118 They become the persecutors of the sons of God, those who Christ with the Father by the Spirit live in. Another reason that the sons of God must be steadfast under the control of the Holy Spirit is so that they might stand the impact of Satan's furious assaults upon them while the devil and his imps furiously wave the flag of death. Satan threatens slaughter to the church and the flock of Christ if they will not let him trample upon all their glory by defiling their conscience and renouncing their faith at the lusts of his overbearing or domineering command.

Because we have chosen to be permanently united in Christ with respect to His death and the death of our old ways, we shall be like those who are permanently united to Him with respect to His resurrection, ascension, and reign.119

Our Lord states, "No man can serve two masters [which biblically means no man can be controlled by two different controllers]: for either he will hate the one [controller], and love the other [controller]; or else he will hold to the one [controller], and despise the other [controller]." 120 The Lord lets us choose to whom the control will belong.

SPIRITUAL WORK

"Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ."121 The Bible's meaning of "conversation," as well as Webster's meaning, is "a manner of living, conduct, behavior, social interchange, and association."122 In other words, our conversation or confession is not with our mouths only, but with our manner of living, our conduct, and our behavior. It must be according to that which God commands in His Word and controls by His Spirit.123 God requires His sons to socially interchange with the world at the disposal or control of His righteousness, not socially interchange with the world according to our once sinful nature.124 This is the conversation of which the Bible speaks.125 Our life is a living message to the world when we live the life of resurrection which is self-denial, controlled by the Holy Spirit. "Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him show out of a good conversation [his controlledness by the Holy Spirit] his works with meekness [before the Lord] of wisdom [the fear or dread of God 126 ]."127

JOEL'S PROPHECY REGARDING THE SONS OF GOD

"They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on His [God's] ways, and they shall not break their ranks [shall not leave the position in the tabernacle of God where the Holy Spirit has placed them]."128 "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son [owned by God]; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ."129 A son of God's conscience is clean before God because he no longer sins.130 He is now able to march fearlessly wherever the Lord directs him. But the more timid those are who do not fear the Lord but men, the more certain they are not sons of God reigning on earth for Him by God's Spirit.131 Therefore, they become ever more entangled in Satan's confusion and in the abundance of his sinful snares.132 Jesus said in Revelation 21:7, "He that overcometh shall inherit all things [Heaven, earth, and all that belongs to God 133 ]; and I will be his God, and he shall be MY SON."

NO PLACE TO HIDE

God saturates the entire universe. He fills the world.134 The living God who created all things also contains all things. He is aware of every voice, every murmur, every whisper, every thought, and every intent of each thought.135 He is on the heels of everyone at all times. Therefore, he that speaks or does unrighteous things is not hidden from Him; neither shall vengeance, when it comes from God to punish, pass those who decided it was not wise to be sons of God governed by Him.136 Inquisition shall be made into the counsel of the ungodly. The sound of their words shall come unto the Lord and manifest their wicked deeds.137 The noise of the murmurings of the tongue against God's Word, as well as those who teach murmurings against His Word, shall not be hid. Many are offended at the necessity for living with the cross and in the resurrection with the life of the Spirit, and the power of God's control and sonship.138

If the just man controlled by the Holy Spirit is a son of God, God will deliver him from the hand of all his enemies.139 Satan calls into question our holiness in order to disfigure the beautiful face of those truths and practices for which the servants of Christ suffer. In this way his persecutors may put an appearance of justice upon their deadly cruelties, and make the world believe we suffer as evildoers.140 Therefore, by our being controlled by the Holy Spirit, we have clean consciences before God. This enables us to bear up under the weight of their heavy charges. We know we are suffering while joyfully reigning for Him, according to the Word of God (that is, according to His righteous judgment in the Spirit).141 Because of this we stand clear in our thoughts concerning our cause. This helps us easily wipe off the dirt they throw on us, and gives us the comfort which our conscience, lined with the Word of God, brings.

Now, through Christ, the opportunity to receive eternal life and become sons of God has been restored to those who desire it.142 Christ uses His sons to present that opportunity to the world of lost sinners.143 However, imperfect branches shall be broken off.144 False prophets who pretend they win others to the Lord while sowing corruptible seed, heresy, with their vulgar tongues are unprofitable.145 This is because it is not God's Spirit or God's Word which has begotten them. These are wolves masquerading themselves in the robes of the clergy who twist God's Word to a false meaning. They are not useful for God's purpose in achieving His goal of many sons. They are a foul smelling stench to the Lord, a smoke in His nose.146 Therefore, they are rejected as good for nothing.147 God said, "Whoso offereth praise glorifieth Me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God."148

The entire world desperately needs God's complete salvation, which includes the death of their former ways, resurrection, and ascension, so that they while still on earth may reign from Heaven in Christ with their brethren until He comes.149 The world must immediately submit to the control of the Holy Spirit. The sons of God will pray to the Lord of the harvest: it is time now to thrust in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe.150 He will give all this to us if we willingly, happily, and joyfully commit our lives unto Him to do His work. By faith we receive Christ into our hearts.151

The mystery of God's purpose is now known. "Wherein He [God] hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; Having made known unto us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He hath purposed in Himself: That in the dispensation [distribution of the Word of God in the world] of the fulness of times He [God] might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in Heaven, and which are on earth; even in Him: In whom also we [as sons] have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of Him who worketh all things after the counsel of His own will: That we should be to the praise of His glory, who first trusted in Christ."152

If you wish to become a son of God and thereby escape an eternal Hell, and if you wish to share ownership with God of everything that He has; then place yourself without fear into His mighty hand. Trust His perfect leadership and His perfect control to guide your life for Him. Begin doing this now by saying this prayer:

Prayer

My Lord and my God, have mercy upon my soul, a sinner. 1 I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of the Living God. 2 I believe that He died on the cross and shed His precious blood for the forgiveness of all my sins. 3 I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit 4 and that He sits on the right hand of God at this moment, hearing my confession of sin and this prayer. 5 I open up the door of my heart and I invite You into my heart, Lord Jesus. 6 Wash all of my filthy sins away in the precious blood that You shed in my place on the cross at Calvary. 7 You will not turn me away, Lord Jesus, You will forgive my sins and save my soul. I know because Your Word, the Bible says so. 8 Your Word says that You will turn no one away, and that includes me. 9 Therefore, I know that You have heard me, and I know that You have answered me, and I know that I am saved. 10 And I thank You, Lord Jesus, for saving my soul, and I will show my thankfulness by doing as You command and sin no more. 11

You've just completed the first step in a series of five steps which are necessary to receive salvation. Your second step is to deny yourself and take up the cross daily for the purpose of mortifying yourself, that is, for putting to death your own will, your soulful self, and the world with all of its lusts. All these must be baptized into the death of Christ.

Step three is your resurrection from the satanic life of Adam unto the sinless life of Christ. Step four is your ascension into a position of authority to reign for God on earth, and the fifth step is to reign for God on earth to the end for the purpose of bringing about the kingdom of Heaven on earth. You must learn the Word of God, then submit yourself and do what the Word says, so that the Church and the world may see evidence of your submission to God's Word, His order, and His authority in and by you.

Praise the Lord. May God reward you abundantly.
