About Holy GhostTheEvangel

Does God Exist? - Part 5

Abstract

In the New Testament, the highly schooled members of the Council could not hide their surprise at the level of intelligence and depth of knowledge possessed by the apostles just because they had spent some time with Jesus. After all, these were mere artisans at best. This is the kind of wisdom to be gained from taking time to study a man like Prophet Ezekiel. He reveals that God is a covenant keeping God. He is the Almighty God, and nothing is impossible for Him. Ezekiel is the only person other than Jesus Christ that God addresses as “Son of man”. In the 21st Century, we still have physically existing evidence of the manifestation of his prophecies. Ezekiel exposes us to the workings of the Holy Ghost and especially, the prophetic ministry.

Practicality of Holy Ghost Power

TThis revelation of prophet Ezekiel has been unique in its evidence-based perspective. Prophet Ezekiel gives those of us with 21st Century curious intensity the opportunity to review scriptural claims criteria that meets scientific research investigation and reporting.

Of great relevance for critics of Christ followership is the demonstration of how God works through the Holy Spirit to achieve its objective. The fundamental statement of God using Israel as a prototype for humanity is proven by the power of literacy of God chosen servant, Prophet Ezekiel in his book. A prototype both in blessing and judgement. One must ask himself one important question to get the essential revelation from this tortuous literature of Ezekiel. Are you living for today or does eternity matter to you?

To elucidate, the right of Ezekiel to the prophetic, we see God calling Ezekiel by putting His hand on Ezekiel. Then, to work with God, one must be ready to discipline himself to listen and His instructions. God told Ezekiel to get on his feet and to listen. When such an insight comes, one must be ready to listen. When God realizes that one has matured to that level, then, God begins to speak through that person as His servant, and a prophet to His people to provide guidance for them. This formula can be deciphered in the life of every prophet in the Bible. It is key to demonstrating the power of God in any age.

Key To Manifesting Holy Ghost Power

Essentially, the Word of God is the tool for manifesting the power of Holy Ghost. But how does one find the power word, word that activates the prophetic status?

In my estimation, this is the relevance of this tough lesson in the 21st Century. It may appear challenging for the young Christian, can be very easy because it is openly out there. We saw it demonstrated in many Old Testament situations and prophets including Ezekiel. Yet, these people are so remote from us today. It is easy to regard them as some form of super-humans. Imagine, Moses got to the extent that his face had to be covered by a veil before he could mingle among other men. Yet, the scriptures decode Jesus Christ to us as the one to baptize us with power (Matthew 3:11; Luke 3:16). The scriptures claim that the same Jesus Christ is the Word of God responsible for everything (John 1). The acquisition and use of the Word of God for Holy Ghost demonstration of power in 21st Century disposition were decoded by Apostle Paul who made clear the plan of God for the ultimate dispensation to include everyone (Ephesians 1; Colossians 1:25-27).

The Word of God comes to man in many ways. In the Old Testament times Moses and Ezekiel, the Spirit came on the men, showed them things, helped them make pronouncements and probably left them alone for a while. In the New Testament times, Jesus became Emmanuel with us. He actually walked this earth with us and manifested. We have since moved into the Holy Ghost dispensation that Jesus promised, that John identified, and that Paul revealed because He actually lives inside everyone of the children of God (1 John 4:13-15).

There is the written word of destiny which manifests in the lives of His servants, Moses, David, Jeremiah, and Jesus are examples. Studying the scriptural documentation such as the Bible opens one up to the revelation written word of God (Psalm 119:105; 2 Timothy 2:15; Joshua 1:8). There are various ways the Holy Ghost reveals the word of God to us through visions, dreams and other forms. These routes of spiritual connection generate what is commonly referred to as the Rhema Word produce life giving or creative revelations (Genesis 31:10; 37:5; Joel 2:28; Acts 10:19). Words might come to us by prophetic declarations (Hosea 12:13; 2 Chronicles 20:20; Isaiah 44:26; Ezra 6:14; John 10:27). When mixed with faith these declarations propel one to prosperity, they confirm words that what we may have come across, they manifest creative miracles and healing, or build up others spiritually. Prophets are instituted to provide spiritual guidance to people and nations. In addition, other than through prophets, God can speak to individuals directly because the Holy Spirit displays personality traits that includes speaking (Isaiah 30:21; Romans 8:14).
