Holiness is impossible without the Holy Spirit.
 The flesh cannot conquer the flesh.
In (John 1:29-33) John the Baptist said that he baptized with water but the one who comes after him would baptize with the Holy Spirit.
Water baptism is an outward sign of an inner decision to follow Jesus and surrender your life to Him. It signifies the burial of the old life and the resurrection of the new.
The baptism of John was a baptism of repentance, turning away from sin and living a new life.
The power of a true Believer comes from the baptism of the Holy Spirit.
After you are filled with Holy Spirit, you will find the true desire to do God's will and the power to do it right. Without the Holy Spirit, your desire to serve God will not be strong enough to carry you through the hard parts of obedience.
The Holy Spirit helps strengthens your loyalty and commitment to follow Gods commands, even though it sound strange. Remember you can't do anything on your own strength, it only take the Grace of God to see things through.
(Acts 10:38) You know about Jesus of Nazareth and how God poured out on him the Holy Spirit and power. He went everywhere, doing good and healing all who were under the power of the Devil, for God was with him.
Jesus was immersed not only in water but also in the Holy Spirit. In other words, He was immersed in power which enabled Him to do the task His Father sent Him to do.
The Holy Spirit is the only one that strengthens a true believer beyond his or her  power to accomplish the impossible.
Before Jesus public ministry began, He was anointed with power and was filled with the Holy Spirit. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, only then are we truly equipped for the service of the kingdom of God because we are able to draw on the power, ability, efficiency and might of the Holy Spirit. When He comes dwells in us only then are we able to receive the power to do the will of God.
(Acts 1:8) But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

Believing in the words of the Lord is never enough, it's your solemn duty as a Christian to have good knowledge on the true  standards to the words of God. You really need to know the difference between the genuine one from the twisted and manipulated ones from the pit of hell.  Most churches these days have different versions of the Bible, remember; not all churches belong to the body of Christ Jesus, and Most of them only function on assumption not realization. If a pastor or denomination leader gains wealth, power, respect and fame off preying upon the hurt, the hopes and fears of any sick, misguided, depressed, desperate or ignorant Christians, He or She is simply heartless and truly "a very wicked person."  If your wealth, respect, power or fame is gained off distorting, manipulating the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, you are not of His body, "short and simple"!! Sowing and reaping is biblical yes, but most time, the seed the Bible is referring to, is...

Whenever people begin to study the scriptures without a prayerful, teachable spirit, they will twist the plainest passages away from their tire meaning. The whole Bible should be given to the  people just as it reads. The word of God is plain to all who study it with a prayerful heart. People are blinded to Satan's deceptions. He succeeds in displacing the Bible with human speculations. People set aside the Law of God, and the churches are in slavery to sin while they claim to be free. The false doctrine among the churches remove landmarks that the word of God has established. Few people stop when they have rejected just one truth. The majority set aside one after another of the principles of truth, until the reject the Christian faith altogether.    The errors of popular theology have driven many people to skepticism. It is impossible for them to  accept doctrines that outrage their sense of justice, Marcy, and kindness. Since the churches say that these are the ...

People now claim that Christ resurrection on Sunday made it the Christian Sabbath. But neither Christ nor His apostles gave any honor to the day. They admit that the New Testament is completely silent about "any explicit command for the Sabbath (referring here to Sunday, the first day of the week) or definite rule for its observance." The son of God came to "exalt the law and make it honorable. “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law of Moses and the teachings of the prophets. I have not come to do away with them, but to make their teachings come true.  Remember that as long as heaven and earth last, not the least point nor the smallest detail of the Law will be done away with — not until the end of all things.  So then, whoever disobeys even the least important of the commandments and teaches others to do the same, will be least in the Kingdom of heaven. On the other hand, whoever obeys the Law and teaches others to do the same, will be great in the Kin...
