CHAPTER THREE:
YOU CANNOT FIND THE SPIRIT OF GOD /
HOLY SPIRIT IN KINGDOM HALL

Acts 2:1-4: When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the spirit enabled them.

There is no feeling in this world that can compare to being spirit-filled—when the spirit of God takes hold of you and you experience your joy, your spirit, your soul, your being, all rejoicing in unison. It moves you to tears, and you will cry, you will wail, you will scream, you will shout. Oh, yes—you will make a joyful noise unto the Lord because you have been filled with the spirit. The Holy Spirit—yes, God’s active Force, our Comforter—has put an abundance of joy in your heart, thus rendering you spirit-filled. The Holy Spirit is not a quiet spirit. It’s a spirit that makes it’s Presence known, and we shout out the Name of Jehovah, the Name of Jesus, giving thanks unto the Father and the Son.

The J-Witnesses have denied and blocked millions of their members from ever experiencing God’s true power through the spirit-filled situations that so often occur when one knows how to invoke the Holy Spirit. The Watchtower Society of the J-Witnesses has taught their members that we as humans do not experience spirit-filled situations. At the same time they convince the members that these spirit-filled situations are of old and were specifically for our Biblical brothers and sisters that we read about in our precious Holy Bible. But we who know the true spirit of God—yes, Yahweh; yes, Jehovah God—we know that His spirit is ever- present and interacts with us on a daily basis, and here is spiritual proof.

Acts 2:17-19: In the last days, God says, I will pour out my spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke.

The scripture that you just read starts with, “In the last days...” And the J- Witnesses are very adamant about the world being in the last days. So why is it so hard for them to believe the scripture that you just read? Why won’t they listen to Jehovah’s words in Acts 2:17-19? The fact is that this is God saying this. And another fact is that it’s a trick that was and still is being played on the J-Witnesses to keep them from the true spirit of God, to keep them from worshiping in truth and spirit, to keep them from the true spiritual Gifts of God, to keep them from visions (as I had a very profound vision to start writing this book; I acted on that vision just as the spirit of God commanded me to—and when you have a vision of that magnitude you must listen to God and move as He says move).

The type of spirit-filled fire that we are able to produce by being connected to the Holy Spirit is absolutely amazing. And, as the scripture says at Hebrews 12:29, “our God is a consuming fire.” And being connected to the spirit brings you to a place where you know this fire as your spirit Source. You do not wait on an organization or a religion; you pray to God for the fire, just as Moses saw that fire at the burning bush and went on to receive his glowing face as he returned from the mountain, fear overcoming the Israelites because of Moses’ glowing face. Yes, we want that fire in our worship services because it confirms that the spirit of God is present. We must be fired up for God as Paul was fired up for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Meanwhile, at Kingdom Hall it is almost like being at a library or a quiet hour at a funeral. And at Psalms 33:3 it reads, “Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.”

Revelations 14:7: He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come. Worship Him Who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

And with that being said, they walk around Kingdom Hall as if everything needs to be hushed and in a certain order. But we know the spirit of God does as the situation calls for. And on the day of Pentecost they just let the spirit flow as God sent it forth. There are many, many people—some of them being J-Witnesses—who desire to call on the Name of Jesus with a joyful noise, shouting for joy and gladness.

The J-Witnesses also diminish the hopes of many of their members while keeping them from their true spiritual gifts. They don’t understand that God has set these spiritual gifts in place for us humans to use and to take hold of, thus putting forth a better work in God, with God, for God, concerning God, to expand on spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ with new and profound information. But the J- Witnesses are managed by the Watchtower Society, and the information that only those who are spirit-filled receive and achieve is kept from them. And we pray that the J-Witnesses see the true light of God so they too can experience the true spirit of God in truth and spirit.

Now we are going to I Corinthians 12:1-11 for the following: Now about the gifts of the spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols. Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the spirit of God says, Jesus be cursed; and no one can say, Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit. There are different kinds of gifts, but the same spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in every one it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the spirit a message of wisdom; to another a message of knowledge by means of the same spirit; to another faith by the same spirit; to another gifts of healing by that one spirit; to another miraculous powers; to another prophecy; to another distinguishing between spirits; to another speaking in different kinds of tongues; and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same spirit, and He distributes them to each one as He determines.

So once again God is speaking loud and clear, and once again the members of the J-Witnesses are blocked from showing, displaying, acknowledging, or acting on or using their God-given spiritual gifts. Spiritual gifts are like a foreign language in Kingdom Hall.

Why would anyone not want to use their God-given spiritual gifts if God is willing and ready to supply them with these spiritual gifts? Instead they follow a man- made protocol, totally ignoring the true spirit of God and totally listening to the Watchtower Society and actually believing that they are being instructed by God—not realizing they are just as the Israelites were. Yes, it is like they are wandering in the desert and they are totally lost because of this religion that won’t listen to God one-hundred percent. And the Watchtower Society keeps them captive in this form of worship. This form of worship is one of the worst and biggest tricks ever played on a group of people. They have been tricked into not serving God in truth and spirit. They have made up their own rules and regulations with situations such as changing the color of our Biblical brothers’ and sisters’ skin. And, even worse, they have corrupted many, many people in their spiritual walk with God.

The J-Witnesses have their own version of the Bible, which is the New World Translation. There are some things that God wrote that they felt needed to be changed. And, as we read in John 1:1, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Now, their Bible tells us that In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a God.

King James—was God. J-Witnesses—was a God.

So they, the J-Witnesses, decided that Jehovah was not powerful enough to keep His holy scriptures intact. So instead of accepting that it says, “was God,” they insisted on instituting into the New World Translation “was a God.” This is done to make sure that the reader or the unsuspecting Bible student understands that Jehovah and Jesus are not one and the same—emphasizing that Jehovah is Jehovah and Jesus is Jesus. So, as we know, there are many instances where Jehovah lets the world know that Jesus is Jesus and Jehovah is Jehovah. So now we will refer to these scriptures to prove this point.

Matthew 3:16: As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him. And a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”

Matthew 24:36: But concerning the day or the hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, or the Son himself, but only the Father knows.

Now, these scriptures reveal to us that the Father and the Son are separate spiritual beings, but at the same time Jesus emphasizes that the Father is in him and that he is in the Father.

John 14:10: Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me,...
