THE HOLY GHOST, THE REVELATOR OF TRUTH
Jesus Christ is the Revelation of the entire Holy Scripture. From Genesis one to Revelation twenty-two, Jesus Christ is the heartthrob and centrality of every inspiration and great revelation. Jesus Christ is indeed the Word of God. Nowhere in Scripture is this said better than St. John said it, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” (John 1:1-5) That same Word was then made flesh and came to dwell among us that we might see the Father visibly.
While God the Son is the Revelation, God the Holy Ghost is the Revelator. His divine prerogative within the Trinity is to protect, defend, and reveal the Word of God. To ever accuse the Holy Ghost of acting, speaking or in any way departing from the revelations of Biblical truth is the ultimate act of heresy. The Lord Jesus Christ made this crystal clear in His dialogue about the promised Comforter. He said, “But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, [even] the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.” (John 15:26)
Several statements that Jesus made within this dialogue recorded by John (John 14, 15, and 16) emphasize this role or title as applied to the Holy Ghost. Notice two more statements, “But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (John 14:26) “Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: Of sin, because they believe not on me; Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew [it] unto you.” (John 16:7-15)
Every truth or Word in Holy Scripture is saturated with the authority and power of the Holy Ghost. “All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.” (2 Tim. 3:16-17) Apostle Peter stated the same basic truth. “For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake [as they were] moved by the Holy Ghost.” (2 Pet. 1:21)
The words of Peter are extremely beautiful. Notice, “…holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” The suggestion is clear that they were carried along or given each word as the Holy Ghost spoke through them. The Holy Ghost is a person in every way that personality is reflected or manifest. He actually took men in their own colloquialisms and personalities and gave them the perfect words of eternal truth. There is a merging of the two personalities in each case: God, the Holy Ghost, and man, the vessel of God. God, the Holy Ghost, transcended them in communicated truth, but left the traces of each human vessel in style and mannerisms. The words of Paul in II Corinthians add to this truth. “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” (2 Corinthians 4:7)
That truth is evident as we read the Holy Scriptures. We can always find the personality and presence of these great prophets, and, yet, see how the Holy Ghost preserved a perfectly pure expression of God’s Revelations and Words to His human family. This is the picture of the total sixty-six books of the Holy Bible. The Holy Ghost was the Revelator beginning with Moses, the writer of the Torah, to the Book of Revelation and the final words of John, the beloved.
The Holy Ghost of God reveals His unique presence in each of the sixty-six books. His overarching authority guaranteed the perfection as the prophets were moved to write. The revelation of each book is always Jesus Christ centered and never overtly revealing the personality of the Spirit. His role is to give the revelation in perfection and to preserve each nuance of truth. Every word was chosen by the omnipotence of this “pure Spirit” and dictated to the human vessel. He was like a mystery from God perfecting every sentence, but carefully maintaining the glory for the Father and the Son. He was so perfect in this task that the Old Testament scholars had no consciousness of His existence. Jesus Christ Himself made us aware of His influence and then taught the disciples and us by Holy Scripture of His beautiful person and ministry.
The Word of God Is The Sword Of The Spirit
The Sword by which the Holy Ghost accomplishes the redemption of Jesus Christ and performs the will of God the Father is the Word of God. There is no other weapon to defeat Satan and his horde of evil spirits, to magnify the God of creation, and perfect His will on earth but the “water of the Word.” Apostle John made this abundantly clear. “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” (1 John 5:7-8) The only authority Satan and his kingdom of darkness respects is clearly described in the above Scripture. He and all his expressions of darkness must respect the Holy Ghost, the Water of the Word and the Blood of Jesus Christ. Trying to defeat Satan by any other activity, idea, or program is a venture in futility. Calling anything, other than those Biblical ideas spiritual, is to distort church and turn it into a social club at best.
Our church world has adopted all kinds of sociological ideas to augment church growth. We have made the church functions so slick and modern that the world calls our programs wonderful, user friendly, and tolerant. Churches and their television friendly worship is often beautiful to behold, but powerless to transform. Satan is not disturbed until the Word of God, anointed by the Holy Ghost breaks forth like a thousand armies. All hell cannot withstand a barrage of Gospel preachers who have waited before God until the Holy Ghost indwells their vessel.

MOST CHURCHES DO NOT HAVE HOLY SPIRIT : PAVES WAY FOR ANTI-CHRIST
Dear Joe Chambers,
There are many churches that were once CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN EVANGELICAL CHURCHES that are no longer following Christ. When the LIBERALS CLAIM TO BE “EVANGELICAL” and take over evangelical churches, these churches are no longer truly “EVANGELICAL”. It is impossible to be truly “EVANGELICAL” and LIBERAL at the same time. The Liberals are especially turning “EVANGELICAL” churches away from supporting Israel to supporting the enemies of Israel. You can read about that on “ISRAEL WATCH” at Rapture Ready. Both the Holy Spirit and the true saints ave parted out of the once “evangelical” churches that are no longer evangelical but into LOOT-WARN (religious socialism) PORK-BARREL PROSPERITY ENTITLEMENT PREACHING CHURCHES. It was these LOOT (re-distributionist)-WARM LAODICEAN PROSTITUTE CHURCHES tat helped elect Obama and will pave way for the rise of for the ANTI-CHRSIT TO RISE SOON. Over in the CATHOLIC CHURCH which is also part of LAODICEA, they just picked a new POPE FROM THE JESUITS. The new Pope DID NOT TAKE THE NAME “PETER THE ROMAN”, probably because he was afraid that name would mark him as the FALSE PROPHET inthe book of Revelation and would invite the destruction of the ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. In Catholic prophecies, the LAST POPE was supposed to take the name PETER THE ROMAN. Even though he refused to take that name, he is probably the LAST POPE (Maybe False Prophet) anyway. and the DESTRUCTION PREDICTED TOR ROME WILL NOT BE PREVENTED. Even in Revelation ROME is called BABYLON and will be burned with fire along with the original Babylon in Iraq. Side steeping the name PETER THE ROMAN wont prevent the destruction of Rome predicted.
What do you think Joe?
SIncerely,

All you said here is absolutely correct. Without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I do not believe it is possible to understand much, if anything, about the Bible. Or, more importantly, is it possible to believe it is truly the inspired work of God. It would seem that he has been pushed out of a lot of churches these days. How else can they condone homosexuality even among their clergy? Or develop same-sex “blessings” into their liturgies?
On an individual level, lacking the presence of the Holy Spirit in one’s life also removes the discernment one needs to separate truth from error, since lies can be very convincing.
The Bible should always be the standard and the Holy Spirit should always be our guide!

Dear Pastor,
You are correct, we must not quench the Holy Spirit. Even small amounts of sin can reduce our faith. Hence as per Pastor Chambers, i pray the blood of Jesus upon me to create in me a clean heart and right spirit. Every day i must bear my cross and never let the love in my heart be extinguished by the mess out there. Oh Lord Jesus increase my faith!
Dear Ed Black yes i too was watching for Peter Romanus, yet the Jesuits may have that name for him hidden from view. ( have no idea right now though…)
Yet we are warned of false prophets and St Malachi must be 100% right to be a prophet of GOD.
Get good prophecy here at Paw Creek and with Pastor Joseph.
God Bless
