I expect that Alice and I, our families and our Bible study folks will be tested in every way, this week, because we are calling out truth. This will come in many forms because we speak out for Christ, we speak up for the correct ministry of the Holy Spirit and we despise the Satanic lifestyle that attacks our children. Alice and I will pray hour to hour and ask for God to allow this message to get out. Lord, help me on this.

Acts Chapter 19 – The SPIRIT, Spiritual and spirits
…a message by Chaplain Aaron
- About the Holy Spirit – vs. 1-7
Acts19:2 He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost.
a. Apollos’ Disciples Incomplete Ed. vs. 1, 2
b. Have You Heard About the Holy Spirit? vs. 2, 3
c. Believe on Christ Jesus vs. 4-6
“When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.”
Wycliffe’s Bible 1382 “Whanne thei herden these thingis, thei weren baptisid in the name of the Lord Jhesu. And whanne Poul hadde leid on hem his hoondis, the Hooli Goost cam in hem, and thei spaken with langagis, and profecieden.”
The aorist tense is used in use in the verbs. This means: They done believed, got themselves baptized and they done got the Spirit!
d. Let’s look to the Scripture about the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit

John 14:16 Indwelling is ETERNAL
John 14:16-17 H.S. of Truth, he lives in us
John 14:26 H.S. brings Scripture to memory
John 15:26 H.S. ONLY speaks Jesus’ words
John 16:7 Jesus in heaven, then H.S. in Believer. N.T. doctrine
John 16:13-14 H.S. does NOT speak of his ideas. H.S. only speaks Jesus’ words.
Ephesians 4:30 Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit - We Are Spiritual Beings – vs. 8-12
Acts19:9 But when divers were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, disputing (διαλέγομαι – dialog) daily in the school of one Tyrannus. 10 And this continued by the space of two years; so that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
a. Paul 1st Preached to the Jews – vs. 8-9
b. Greek speaking Believers were natural – v. 10
c. Paul taught out of a church school daily – v. 9
d. Yes. Paul’s neckerchief was used to help someone ill. –
e. We WANT spiritual food – 11, 12

I Peter 2:2 Babies want milk, (1 Corinthians 3:2, Hebrews 13:12-14) Grown-ups need meat
1 Corinthians 2:11-12 H.S. in us. We understand spiritual things
Matthew 12:34 What you feed your spirit will come out of words and actions. - About them Evil spirits – vs. 13-20
Acts19:13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.
a. SideShow Sceva is NO Believa! – vs. 13-16
Luke tells about the side show
Flavius Josephus tells about the side shows.
b. Believers KNOW the difference – v. 17
c. Christians Desire to Destroy the devil’s books – vs. 18-20 Deuteronomy 18:10
Acts19:18 And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
Romans 10:9, 10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
