Uncle Ben's (Almost Daily) WRITE 504 - August 26 2008 South Wartzor

Peace,

I had speaks with a priest the other day, he didn't know who the Holy Spirit is! When I talked about the anointing, he mumbled something about oil... He didn't even realize, that the anointing is the Holy Spirit! Still he kept trying to teach me about the Bible, the book he doesn't understand himself!

Without the Holy Spirit, the Bible is hard to fully grasp! What he dished out was like milk powder, it was like getting gagged with a spoon. Dead letters were the only things on his menue. I never understood the Bible before I met the Holy Spirit and decided to live for God. When I had a talk with God about the matter today, this verse came to me!

John 2:26-7: 26 I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit–just as it has taught you, remain in him.

In other words, the Holy Spirit can teach us all that we need to know! Another thing that the Lord pointed out to me the other day, is that "that was then, and this is now". I wrote a song about it, there's no point in wallowing in the past, forget about yesterday, and live for today! God forgives us all our bleeps and blunders on a daily basis, just keep your ears peeled, and let the Holy Spirit lead you! How else are you going to find out God's perfect plan for your life? If you pray for others, God will bless you!

At the moment I'm an into intercessory prayer at a local church. God points out people for me to pray for during the meeting, sometimes already during the praise songs. He'll point them out at any time during the meeting. So I walk up to them and ask them if I can bless them. Normally I pray a lot    in tongues, since I rarely know what God wants me to pray about. Sometimes the Holy Spirit tells me to repeat certain words in a language that I know, like english, spanish, jewish, finnish or swedish etc. I don't speak all those languages, but since my travels around the world I have picked up bits of this and that.

Since I started obeying and praying, the anointing has become stronger in my life, many people have been healed as well! I realize now that the Holy Spirit probably has been urging me to do this for a long time, but I haven't been "listening". It really takes some concentration to start hearing His voice. But now I recognize Him right away, since I'm getting more and more used to hearing Him. If you are a Christian already and want to go further, give God lot's of time and don't forget to visit some congregation. After all, we are all parts of God's machine, we all need to be active and willing, for it to run properly!

PS. The reason why I haven't written in a while is that, I'm still working on my book and also my house, due to a leaking pipe.
