-=> Quoting JERRY HENSLEY to MARK JONES <=-
MJ>The promise if for you and I for this generation next generation those
>near and far and "FOR ALL WHOM THE LORD GOD WILL CALL" he is still
>calling today.
MJ>Also this is to continue until what is perfect has come. Perfection
>hasn't come yet. It is soon to be here.
JH> Hello again Mark. Hopefully you got my previous message. The promise
JH> of the Holy Ghost is, in fact, for all. However, if any man be given
JH> the gift of "language," it will be a "real" language, not an
JH> "unknown" language of unintelligible babble.
JH> I was in a church one day, and heard a woman go on for 15 minutes
JH> uttering: Sha da da da da da da da da, Ahh, Sha da da da da da da
JH> da, Ahh, Sha da da da da da da da, etc. She was emotional and
JH> hysterical. When she finally ceased, the pastor said: "Thus saith
JH> the Lord, If thou wilt hearken unto me, I will open up a window of
JH> heaven and pour out a blessing, etc. How, do you think he got all
JH> that out of "Sha da da da da da da, etc.?
JH> On Pentecost, all 120 spoke Hebrew. A miracle in itself, being as
JH> they were poor Galileans who were not educated in the Hebrew
JH> language. They spoke Aramaic only. If you believe that they all
JH> spoke 120 different languages, and the 15 nations who stood round
JH> about had to scatter to find the one that they understood, you are
JH> wrong. It was one language, Hebrew, it was translated into the
JH> language of the beholder as it entered into their ears. It was as
JH> much a miracle of hearing as it was speaking.
JH> Nowhere in scripture will you find the word unknown, as in "unknown
JH> tongue." The word "unknown" is in italics, and therefore, added by
JH> the translators. The literal translation of Acts: 2:4 is:
JH> "And they were all filled with Holy Spirit; and began to speak in
JH> a language foreign to them, as the Spirit endowed them with clear
JH> expression."ÿ
JH> The Spirit of YaHshua does not destroy our sensibilities or divest us
JH> of control over our actions and our speech; quite the contrary. Peter
JH> pointed out that the prophets of YaHVaH spoke as they were moved by
JH> the Holy Ghost (II Peter 1:21) and this was not autonomic involution,
JH> a condition in evidence in the present deceptive counterfeiting of
JH> Pentecost. Paul asked for prayer to the end that he would be able to
JH> speak forcefully and accurately in order to make the deep truths of
JH> the Gospel plain to his hearers:
JH> "And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open
JH> my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel."
JH> (Eph. 6:19.)
JH> Paul demonstrates again and again, throughout the New Testament, how
JH> wonderfully his request was granted:
JH> "But as it is written [in IsaYah 64:4], Eye hath not seen, nor ear
JH> heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things
JH> YaHVaH hath prepared for them that love him. But YaHshua hath
JH> revealed them unto us by His Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth
JH> all things, yea, the deep things of YaHVaH...Now we have
JH> received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of
JH> YaHVaH; that we might know the things that are freely given to us
JH> of YaHVaH. Which things also we speak, not in the words which
JH> man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth;
JH> comparing spiritual things with spiritual." (I Cor. 2:9-13.)
JH> In the Book of Acts it is shown that on more than one occasion, when
JH> conversions took place and the gift of the Holy Spirit was manifested
JH> by the ability to speak in the Hebrew tongue, the result was an
JH> earnest desire to make a diligent study of the Word of the Almighty.
JH> This was so when Cornelius was converted (Acts 10:48) and more
JH> specifically stated when Paul was at Ephesus and the disciples of
JH> John the Baptist became disciples.
JH> "And he [Paul] went into the synagogue, and spake boldly for the
JH> space of three months, disputing and persuading the things
JH> concerning the kingdom of YaHshua. But when divers were
JH> hardened,
JH> and believed not, but spake evil of that way [the believers way]
JH> before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated
JH> the disciples, disputing daily in the school of one
JH> Tyrannus. And this continued by the space of two years; so
JH> that all they which dwelt in Asia heard the word of the
JH> Sovereign YaHshua, both Judahites and Greeks." (Acts
JH> 19:8-10.)
JH> It is imperative that every believer recognize the whole intent of the
JH> Pentecostal experience of the early church. As the Divine
JH> Instructor, the Holy Spirit had brought new light to bear upon the
JH> Old Testament Scriptures in conformity with the finished work of
JH> YaHshua the MessYaH as Redeemer and Savior. Because the Church at
JH> Corinth was losing sight of this initial and most essential factor,
JH> Paul found it necessary to address them specifically on the issues
JH> involved.
