Acc. to the Law of Moses, the holy fire was to burn on the altar day and night. It represented the presence of Yehowah’s Holy Spirit in the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle in his temple.
If an ordained son of Aaron, a priest, or anyone else dared to bring foreign fire to that altar, the penalty was an immediate death sentence, which Yehowah himself executed.
We, servants of the New Covenant, are each temples of the Holy Spirit, if Yeshua’s Holy Spirit is allowed to dwell in us. Our Father, Yehowah Elohim, also dwells in us through the Holy Spirit.
When a priest ordained in the New Covenant congregation loses the original holy anointing, the Holy Spirit leaves him. Then the spirit of darkness leads the hearers astray through him.
It's soon Ascension Thursday, the day commemorating Yeshua's ascension into heaven, and 10 days after that, he sent the Holy Spirit's Power to his disciples on the first Christian Pentecost.
May the fire of the Holy Spirit always burn in our hearts!
Even though we have once received the grace to be truly filled with the Holy Spirit, it is not enough for us for our entire life-long journey. Therefore, we must be filled with the Holy Spirit again and again every day, live in the guidance of the Spirit, walk in the Spirit, and be fervent with the Spirit! We are exhorted to do this in several verses of the New Covenant. For example, in the following: Eph. 5:18-20, Rom. 8:13-14, Rom. 12:11-12
Eph. 5:18-20
>>18 And "do not be drunk with wine," in which is debauchery, but be filled by the Spirit, (Prov. 23:31) 19 speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and praising in your heart to the Adonai, 20 giving thanks at all times for all things in the name of our Adonai Yeshua Mashiach, even to Elohim the Father,<<
Rom. 8:13-14
>>13 for if you live according to flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of Elohim, these are children of Elohim.<<
Rom. 12:11-12
>>11 (Be) in diligence, not slothful, fervent in spirit, serving the Adonai; 12 in hope, rejoicing; in affliction, enduring; in prayer, steadfastly continuing;<<
Let us identify the anointing of the Holy Spirit from the false!
It is sometimes difficult, if a priest who has strayed from the Truth is a seasoned preacher. The surest way is to examine the spirit speaking in him with the help of the 'gift of discerning spirits'. Not everyone has this gift and therefore others must know the Holy Scriptures well, because the Holy Spirit never teaches against them, provided that the Bible in use is a sufficiently correct translation, because there are also false ones.
Another way to find out if a priest is anointed by the Holy Spirit is to ask the Holy Spirit who lives in your own heart the question: "Is he speaking by Your guidance or a lie?" Although the Holy Spirit is sensitive, he will certainly warn a sincere believer in Adonai Yeshua if there is reason to do so! I was long time ago in a situation where the Holy Spirit warned about a heresy!
It was preached in a congregation that I had joined 2 months earlier. Alarm bells began to ring in my heart because I had received the 'gift of discerning spirits' in the Baptism of the Spirit, and so I asked the Holy Spirit: "Is that doctrine of yours?" He answered me: "Where the Spirit of Adonai is, there is freedom." Then I understood that it was a heresy that was trying to enslave me!
I immediately renounced that heresy in prayer and warned my fellow believers, but most of them did not heed the warning, but became more and more entangled in the snares of that heresy. Even after decades, I met some of them who were sure that they believed in the true message. That doctrine exalted William Marrion Branham, not Adonai Yeshua!
Branham, who is now dead, claimed to be the prophet Elijah of the end times prophesied by Malachi. A very similar heresy is currently being preached by Kenyan David Owuor (in the attached picture on the right). He claims to be the Elijah of the end times and also Daniel in one and the same person, and even the greatest prophet in the Bible! He claims to be the two prophets who will be killed acc. to Rev. 11:4-10.
Adonai Yeshua taught that John the Baptist was that prophet Elijah. Matt. 11:13-14
"13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John appeared. 14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, who is to come."
Adonai Yeshua said also that John the Baptist was the greatest of all the prophets. Matt. 11:11
"I tell you the truth, among those born of women, no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is."
"I tell you the truth, among those born of women, no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is."
The reader must choose which one to believe! Either that false prophet or Adonai Yeshua, because you can't believe both, because they teach differently on this point as well?
David Owuor would otherwise be a petty deceiver if he had not been proven to have performed great signs and wonders! Branham also performed great signs in the 20th century, healing thousands of seriously ill people. Branham even brought a young boy who had died in a car accident in Finland back to life! The boy's skull had been shattered and his brain matter had spilled out onto the road. When Branham gave the brain matter a command in the name of Jesus, it crawled back into the boy's head. Then the boy's skull and its fragments were reunited and the boy came to life!
The man who told me this was the late leader of the Helsinki Free Pentecostal Church, Vilho Soininen, who was Branham's driver on the way from Helsinki to Kuopio. He said he had seen the miracle and the police recorded the incident in the Kuopio Police District's report as "Strange incident". As I recall, it happened back in 1955 during Branham's visit to Finland. Branham belonged to the Unitarian Church in USA and also taught the 'Jesus only' doctrine. Acc. to it, there is no separate Father Elohim, but only Jesus Christ. A clear heresy acc. to verse John 17:3!
I repeat the warning of Adonai Yeshua
Our Savior warned us in two Gospels about false Messiahs and false prophets in the end times. Since he warned so clearly and often, it is a very important matter!
Matt. 7:15
>>But beware of the false prophets who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are plundering wolves.<<
