There is so many promises that the Lord gives to us. When we become righteous before the living God. It is Jesus Christ and his precious blood, and I can hold up the blood and cry it is finished, Jesus said it, and therefore it is done and I choose to believe just that. If the blood of an earthy animal lamb was good enough to protect Israel from the death angel when the blood was applied to the door post and the lintel, how much more will the blood of Jesus Christ protect and cleanse us from all evil. 

I believe with all my heart that the blood that Jesus Christ shed on Calvary is able to do much more better things then an earthly animal lamb ever could. And his blood speaks better things then what Abel’s blood spoke. Abel’s Blood spoke of vengeance, and the blood of Jesus Christ speaks of mercy toward the sinner. Everything that was in the old tenement was the shadow of better things in Christ Jesus. There is no one who can take me away from that. And I believe the Holy Spirit of the living God is powerful enough to keep us in his power. 



The Holy Spirit will never leave us to our own strength to do things, unless we don't allow him to have the control, but when we allow him his rightful place he is able to keep the prayer that Jesus prayed in his high priestly prayer in John 17, our Lord Jesus was asking his Father to keep them his people from the evil one. Hallelujah, when we trust in him, he is able to do great and wonderful things. Oh how we can boast in what our Lord Jesus Christ is doing through the power of his precious Holy Spirit. And when we ask the Father for his Holy Spirit he will give his Holy Spirit to us, for only by the Holy Spirit can we live to bring glory to Jesus Christ. It is when we walk away from him and do our own things, that is when we get into trouble and sin, and God did make a provision for us not to sin. He gave us a new nature and his Holy Spirit to lead and guide us. 



I believe Jesus Christ when he said in Luke 11:9-13
So I say unto you, ask and keep on asking, and it shall be given you; seek and keep on seeking, and you shall find; knock and keep on knocking the door shall be opened to you. 



V.10. For every one who asks and keeps on asking receives, and he who seeks and keeps on seeking will find, and to him who knocks and keeps on knocking the door shall be opened. 



V .11. What father among you, if his son asks for a loaf of bread, will give him a stone; or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish give him a serpent;



V.12 or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 



V.13. if you then, evil-minded as you are, know how to give good gifts, gifts that are to advantage to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask him!



What a wonderful promise. You know the heavenly Father knows what we need, but he wants us to ask him for what we need. Jesus taught us to pray to the Father, He said, Our Father, and in that prayer he told us to ask for his kingdom to come and his will to be done, and to give us our daily bread, and to keep us from falling into temptation, and to be delivered from the evil one. It would be just horrible if no one ever talk to God the Father? 



Some think that God never wants them to ask him for anything, that if he wants them to have something he will give it to them, but the word of God states we have not, because we ask not, and we have not because we want to have it for our own lust. You see the Spirit of the Lord know our hearts and motives of why we ask for things, and we must always ask out of a pure heart, that the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ would be glorified, and Jesus Christ himself would be glorified, and this is all done through the holy spirit of the living God living within a heart of a true born again believer. Lord God Almighty, what a wonderful blessing it is to know you as our Father. I am so happy that Jesus said, all who comes to him, in no way will he cast out. 



There are so many people who think they are the only ones, they act like the Pharisee of Jesus day. Everyone was wrong but them. You know the ones who really love the Lord Jesus are the ones who still are being persecuted, by the self righteous ones. But the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ says, that all who will live godly lives will suffer persecution. I don't know how people could defend the scriptures in their own strength. It is the Holy Spirit who wrote the word of God through godly men. I love it when the Spirit of the Lord says through Peter. 



1 Peter 4:1-3
So since Christ suffered in the flesh (for us, for you) arm yourselves with the same thought and purpose (patiently to suffer rather than fail to please God), for whoever has suffered in the flesh (having the mind of Christ) has done with (intentional) sin, has stopped pleasing himself and the world, and pleases God. 



V.2. So that he can no longer spend the rest of his natural life living by his human appetites and desires, but lives for what God wills.



You see we don't have to intentionally sin. We can be done with that. I know of people who use to have such rotten speech, and when the Holy Spirit came into their lives, he gave them a whole new vocabulary. It is so wonderful to see the Holy Spirit at work, and when people start calling what the Holy Spirit is doing of the devil, they put themselves right into the very same place where the Pharisees were at in Jesus time. Everything that Jesus did they said it was of the devil. And



Jesus said, in Luke 12:10
and everyone who makes a statement or speaks a word against the son of man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit (that is, whoever intentionally comes short of the reverence due the Holy Spirit), it will not be forgiven him there is no forgiveness.



Why did Jesus say that? Because the religious people were calling the works that he was doing of the devil. And Jesus said the works that I do are not my works but the works of his Father. It was the Spirit of his Father that was working in him. But, these Pharisees could not see it, because they were blinded by there own ignorance. And it is the same today. You still have people call the works that the Holy Spirit does the works of the devil. They give more credit to the devil then they do to the Holy Spirit. They give more glory to the flesh then they do to the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a person, and he has feelings. 



Again let me quote this word of God. In Ephesians 4:30
And don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, [do not offend, or vex, or sadden him] by whom you were sealed (marked, branded as God's own, secured) for the day of redemption of final deliverance through Christ from evil and the consequences of sin.



Oh, how God's Holy Spirit must ache with sorrow of heart when he sees the work that he is doing upon this earth credited to the devil. Paul through the Holy Spirit says in



2 Corinthians 13:5,


V .2. I have already warned those who sinned formerly and all the rest also, and I warn them now again while I am absent, as I did when present on my second visit, that if I come back I will not spare them,



V .3. Since you desire and seek proof of the Christ who speaks in and through me. [For he is not feeble in dealing with you, but is a mighty power within you. 



V.4. for though he was crucified in weakness, yet he goes on living by the power of God. And though we too are weak in him (as he was humanly). Yet in dealing with you (we shall show ourselves alive and strong in fellowship with him by the power of God. 



V.5. Examine and test and evaluate your own selves, to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it. Test and prove yourselves realize and know thoroughly by an ever increasing experience] that Jesus Christ is in you? Unless you are (counterfeits) disapproved on trial and rejected!



How we must allow the precious Holy Spirit to have his way in our lives, to lead and guide us into all truth. What is the cross for? Why did Jesus Christ die on the cross for? Was it n0t to destroy the devil's works, and sin is the devil's work. Anything that is not of God belongs to the devil, and surely the devil wants people to think that they can never be free from their sin that binds them.
