Heavenly possession

peace

I want to share with you the glorious experience of being possessed by the Holy Spirit. Many people are possessed by unclean spirits and yet believe they are the spirits of deceased family members. But the Holy Spirit is the spirit of the Only One who lived in this world, died, and rose again.

Many people have doubts about that, but it’s quite easy to prove the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. He said, “Peace I leave with you.” When someone has the Spirit of God, he’s at peace within himself and with God; he has peace!

It doesn’t mean that he will not go through problems. Rather, when he goes through difficult moments in life, he will have peace because the Spirit of peace is upon him. This doesn’t happen to those whose lives are dominated by other spirits. Just look at their lives.

The presence of the Holy Spirit can be seen by the look on their faces. Their eyes have a different shine. And this is the proof that Jesus rose again: He lives inside of those who are possessed by His Spirit.

People who are possessed by other spirits carry their problems on their shoulders; they are depressed, live on sedatives, antidepressants, drugs etc. They have no peace at home. And though people who have the Holy Spirit have problems too, the difference is that they don’t carry their problems on their shoulders, but under their feet—under control.

God doesn’t dwell in temples built by men. Through the Holy Spirit, He dwells in temples that He Himself builds: He dwells in us.

The Universal Church builds beautiful and comfortable cathedrals, but we know that when the last person leaves the temple, it becomes empty. When a person enters the church of the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit comes in with him, and only then the place is filled with the presence of God.

This Sunday, in all UCKGs, we will pray, seek and intercede on your behalf, so that you receive the Spirit of Peace, the Spirit of God. When this happens, you too will have the assurance that the Lord Jesus resurrected, because you will feel Him alive inside of your heart.

God bless you all.
