October 7, 2011 A view of another kind of Yam Kippur
( Day of Atonement )
The PARACLETE, PARACHUTES, Etc.
Called the HOLY GHOST in the KJV and the HOLY SPIRIT in newer translation,
the apostle John, the beloved, in his writing of 5 Bible books, called Him in the Greek language: The PARACLETE. Meaning: “called beside or called alongside to help”. I like that !
My revelation is that a parachute can save the life of one cast out of an airplane if the ripcord is pulled and the air walker is high enough for the chute to open. When the parachute is not needed for it’s intended purpose it is kept in storage or in tight quarters, the airman keeps it on his body usually setting on it. Hummmmmmmmmm or stop and think about that. Methinks this is a type of the OT deeds done by The PARACLETE.
The PARACLETE, PARA CHURCHES, Etc.
In this last daytime, we understand from the Gospels in the NT and from the backsliding Hebrews’ behavior in the OT; humans need a schoolmaster or a nanny or a Texas Ranger or as a slave shackle to Him or what ever you want to call Him*— to keep us on the conference line to be able to hear what ABBA FATHER is saying to The LAMB of GOD and what LAMB of GOD is saying to ABBA FATHER.
Now if we know our own heart we know the mischief that can come forth at any time. If we see it in ourselves and in other good Christians, how much more does The Paraclete inside us notice and call it to our attention that we might repent and make restitution. Plus we often give HOLY SMOKE leave to show us the way of escape or how to use our gifting in ministry.
That said, I am asking The Paraclete to teach me why para church ministries are so important in bringing the Kingdom of heaven to earth while being such a chore and at the same time a joy to those called and anointed to led them.
To be continued.
*The most important step that I ever took to partake of the “power” that Acts 1:8 promises, was to go into my schoolroom durning summer vacation and write on the blackboards around 2 sides of the room: “HOLY SPIRIT is a person.” It took 2 or 3 days as I remember from 50 years ago. Also as I remember: I never ever again thought of The HOLY SMOKE as an “it”.
