The Holy Spirit Cannot Dwell in a Sinner Until he is Born Again by Receiving The Remission of Sins

Receiving the Holy Spirit is a heartfelt desire of every Christian. This is because the Scripture says that if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him (Romans 8:9). As a result, many have become desperate to receive the Holy Spirit at all cost and by all means. And the Devil knowing this, has deceived people to believe that they can receive the Holy Spirit through fasting, prayers, and the laying on of hands from the so called “Anointed Ministers” even if they have sin in their hearts.

Therefore, the Book “The Fail-safe Way for You to Receive the Holy Spirit” written by God’s servant Rev. Paul C. Jong, seeks to correct this mistaken notion and beliefs perpetuated by the Christian Charismatic Movement whose influence has blinded many people from knowing the right way of receiving the Holy Spirit according to the Word of God. 

Also, the Holy Spirit is the third Person of the Trinity who is Holy. Therefore, before we can receive Him in our hearts, our sins must be blotted and forgiven once and for all by believing in both the baptism and the the blood of Jesus before we can be qualified to receive Him as a gift from Godl.

The book explains that, the Holy Spirit works within God’s Word, and that He comes upon us according to God’s Word of promise just as the Apostle Peter preached to the people on the Day of Pentecost as it is written, “Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call” (Acts 2:38-39).

This shows that, whoever wish to receive the Holy Spirit must first and foremost desire to receive the forgiveness of his sins by believing that Jesus indeed took away all our sins by being baptized in River Jordan to fulfill all righteousness for us, and that believing in this qualify us to receive the gift of the Holy Sprit in a gentle and peaceful manner according to the will of God.

The book emphasizes the fact that, seeing visions, dreams, prophesying, and speaking in tongues is not the evidence that one has received the Holy Spirit. This is because how God spoke in various ways in the past to our fathers and prophets is different from the way He speaks to us in the present dispensation. Now God speaks to us through His written Word of Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1:1-2). We must therefore rely solely on the Word of God and nothing else.

Even when it comes to the speaking of tongues, the book teaches us that God is doing this through His servants who are translating His written Word into many languages of the world. This is the main purpose of tongues and its interpretation.

I can confidentially say that this book is a blessing to all Christians, for it will save anyone who read from all the lies of the Devil, and to know that there is a fail-safe way for us to receive the Holy Spirit.

May God bless Rev. Paul C. Jong and the entire fraternity of the New Life Mission for publishing such a wonderful book absolutely for free.
