To reiterate, a significant number that believe in YHWH (with inserted vowels YAHWEH transliterated JEHOVAH commonly interpreted the LORD) do not believe Him. The Omnipresent and Omniscient and Omnipotent LORD God who does the miraculous only seeks faith-walkers who believe what He has said and that such never returns void (read – Isaiah 55:11). As a man-of-God plainly relayed: “God is looking for people who will take Him at His Word.”

And the Word of God was made flesh (read – John 1:14), YESHUA/JESUS the only begotten Son of God via the miracle of incarnation – the Immaculate Conception, came to exemplify how mankind was created to operate with dominion over every aspect of darkness manipulated by the fallen angel (read – Luke 10:18; Isaiah 14:12-14; 2Th 2:4). Emmanuel or Immanuel – “God with us” (read – Isaiah 7:14; Matthew 1:23); Jesus the Anointed One and His Anointing, also referred to as the last Adam came:  

  1. to show us how the first Adam operated in the mighty power of the LORD God manifest through the Holy Spirit before his act of treason – the transgression that brought sin into the earth.  
  2. to redeem us from the “sin nature” (into which all mankind is born due to the first Adam’s transgression) by the sinless blood of Jesus that enables us to be reconciled unto the Family of God.  
  3. to facilitate the return of the Holy Spirit on earth (until the Second Coming of Christ) gifted to each son & daughter of the LORD reborn and reconciled unto God by the redemptive work of Christ Jesus.  

The LORD God came as man via His seed born of a virgin to be sown for the harvest of more sons & daughters (read – John 1:12). Jesus is Lord because He was manifested in the flesh for a single purpose achieved; He was born to die and emptied Himself because they could never kill JESUS; Rather, He released His spirit:  

  • Then Jesus shouted out again, dismissed His spirit, and died.” Matthew 27:50 (TLB)  
  • “Then Jesus uttered another loud cry, and dismissed His spirit.Mark 15:37 (TLB)  
  • And Jesus, crying out with a loud voice, said, Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit! And with these words, He expired. [Ps.31:5.]Luke 23:46 (AMPC)  
  • Into Your hands I commit my spirit; You have redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth and [Luke 23:46; Acts 7:59.]Psalm 31:5 (AMPC)  
  • And while they were stoning Stephen, he prayed, Lord Jesus, receive and accept and welcome my spirit!Acts 7:59 (AMPC)  

Human beings are tri-part: primarily a spirit that is connected to a soul (i.e., intellect, will, emotions) and “housed” in a physical body; immortal or eternal life is spirit and connected to the soul which is how we’ll recognize those who transitioned before us. However, the main point herein is that partakers of the New Covenant between God and man ratified by the blood of Jesus are gifted with the Holy Spirit who is:    

  • the Promise of the Father . . . . you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit . . . . you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.Acts 1:4,5,8 (NKJV)  

Scripture reveals that the Lord Jesus’ Ministry began when the Holy Spirit came upon Him during water immersion by John the Baptist (read – Luke 3:22; John 1:32-33); and His “Mission Statement” proclaimed such:  

  • The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.Luke 4:18-19 (NKJV [bold emphasis mine])  

To reiterate, whatsoever goes forth from the mouth of God never returns void; it accomplishes everything for which it’s sent (Isaiah 55:11). Hence, neither miracles (God’s super on our natural) nor any other thing gifted to sons & daughters of God through Christ Jesus and manifest through the power of the Holy Spirit has ever ended with the apostles chosen by the Lord Jesus; such a concept is neither Scriptural nor in keeping with God’s Word. Also, pertaining to The Ascension, the Lord Jesus said that He had to go so that the Holy Spirit would come (read – John 16:7-15).  

  • “God wants everyone of us to have the Holy Ghost. . . . you cannot take the Holy Ghost out of salvation.” 2
