God
is able to move a Christian from Blessing to Power when he or she receives the "Baptism
in The Holy Spirit". Here are 7
Parts of
the “Blessing”:
1: Jesus Christ becomes much BIGGER in your life WITH HIM as your
understanding of Him is MAGNIFIED through the tutelage of The Holy Spirit …
John 16:13-16
13 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 show
you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall
receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
15 All things that the Father
hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it
unto you.
16 A little while, and ye shall
not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the
Father.
2: In your daily Christian walk in communion with Him, He leads you
to a stronger assurance of your Christian Life …
Romans 8:14-18
14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of
God, they are the sons of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit
of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby
we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself bears witness with
our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of
God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may
be also glorified together.
18 For I reckon that the sufferings of
this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be
revealed in us.
3: The Holy Bible becomes "alive" in your daily study, as
you spend time in "rendezvous with Him" in God's Holy written Word …
John 16:12-15
12 I have yet many things to say unto
you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 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 show you things
to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall
receive of mine, and shall show it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are
mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall show it to you.
4: He enriches your prayer Life leading you into a new dimension of
prayer …
Jude 18-23
18 How that they told you there should be
mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
19 These be they who separate
themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
20 But ye, beloved, building up
yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God,
looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
22 And of some have compassion, making a
difference:
23 And others save with fear, pulling
them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.
5: He ushers you into an experience of the fullness of the love of
the Person of God …
Romans 5:3-7
3 And not only so, but we glory in
tribulations also: knowing that tribulation works patience;
4 And patience, experience; and
experience, hope:
5 And hope makes not ashamed; because
the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given
unto us.
6 For when we were yet without strength,
in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For scarcely for a righteous man will
one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
6: He helps you discover the real, indescribably joy in The Holy
Ghost …
Romans 14:14-19
14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord
Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteems any
thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy
meat, now you are not walking in charity. Destroy not him with thy meat, for
whom Christ died.
16 Let not then your good be evil spoken
of:
17 For the kingdom of God is not meat
and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
18 For he that in these things is serving
Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.
19 Let us therefore follow after the
things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
7: He leads you into becoming effective in your individual, unique function
in The Body of Christ …
Acts 1:6-14
6 When they therefore were come together,
they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the
kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for
you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own
power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that
the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of
the earth.
9 And when he had spoken these things,
while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked steadfastly
toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, you men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into
heaven? This one same Living Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven,
shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
12 Then returned they unto Jerusalem
from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a Sabbath day's journey.
13 And when they were come in, they went
up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew,
Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and
Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
14 These all continued with one accord
in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and
with his brethren.

Corinthians 12:1-14
1 Now concerning spiritual gifts,
brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried
away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that
no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed: and that no man can
say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but
the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of
administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations,
but it is the same God which works all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is
given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the
word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to
another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to
another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another diverse kinds of
tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these works that one and the
selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
12 For as the body is one, and hath many
members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so
also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized
into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and
have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
Matthew
8:22 (Christ Jesus appeals to us to follow Him rather than to be as
“the dead in spirit” or as “dominated by left-brain, egocentric, thinking
beings”)
Mark
15:27 (Faith over calamity!!!)
2 Thessalonians 2:16-17
16 Now our Lord Jesus Christ Himself,
and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting
consolation and good hope through grace,
17 Comfort your hearts, and establish
you in every good word and work.
Your
Comforter, Wise Counsel, and so much more, Holy Spirit.

If you have not invited Jesus Christ into your heart to be your Lord and Savior in your life, stop right where you are and pray this in communication with God, "Father God, in the precious Name of Jesus Christ, the King of kings and The Lord of all lords, I lay my life at Your Feet. I come before You, confessing that I am a sinner, and I ask for You to forgive me of all my sins - those that I know I have committed, as well as those that I am not even aware of. I ask that You come into my heart and be my Lord. I lay my life, and everything in it, at Your Feet, and ask that You please take me and begin to change me to be like YOU. I ask that You redeem the time that has passed, and allow me the opportunity to become exactly what You have predestined me to be, from before the foundation of the earth. I commit my life to You now, and thank You for receiving me as Your own. In the wonderful Name of Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, I pray, Amen." And AMEN!
Every one of the sons and daughters of The Most High God need, and do well to heed, the words of wisdom from Apostle Paul's writing in Philippians 4:8-9, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you." Selah... Amen (Let it be so as we pray in The Name of Christ Jesus)!

One great Truth Keith shares from all he has learned through 40 years of walking in oneness with God is, as Jeremiah says best, "Blessed is the man that trusts in The Lord, and whose hope The Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit (Jeremiah 17:7-8)."
We must challenge ourselves to watch for and record the breakthroughs God helps us to press in to pursue and recognize, daily, as James 4:7 promises, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you (James 4:7)."
Halleluia! We look forward to hearing how we can stand with you in celebrating your wonder-full life with Jesus Christ being mentored by The Holy Spirit! God bless you,
...and the TTM Family!
