SHALOM!

Is there any expectation from us after being Baptised by RUACH HA KODESH (a.k.a HOLY SPIRIT)?

 

1 Corinthians 3:12-15 Tree of Life Version (TLV)

¹² Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, ¹³ each one’s work will become clear. For the Day will show it, because it is to be revealed by fire; and the fire itself will test each one’s work—what sort it is. ¹⁴ If anyone’s work built on the foundation survives, he will receive a reward. ¹⁵ If anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss—he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

 

What next after Baptism?

Well, in order to understand this, we need to look at what happened to YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH and HIS Apostles after their Baptism of RUACH HA KODESH?

In summary, YAHUSHUA HA MASHIACH went into Ministry soon after HIS Baptism. YAHUSHUA’S Apostles also went into Ministry soon after their receiving the RUACH HA KODESH through Baptism on the Feast of SHAVUOT/WEEKS/PENTECOST as recorded in the Book of Acts Chapter 2 and onwards.

 

Matthew 3:13-17 Names of God Bible (NOG)

John Baptizes Jesus

¹³ Then Yeshua appeared. He came from Galilee to the Jordan River to be baptized by John. ¹⁴ But John tried to stop him and said, “I need to be baptized by you. Why are you coming to me?”

¹⁵ Yeshua answered him, “This is the way it has to be now. This is the proper way to do everything that God requires of us.”

Then John gave in to him. ¹⁶ After Yeshua was baptized, he immediately came up from the water. Suddenly, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God coming down as a dove to him. ¹⁷ Then a voice from heaven said, “This is my Son, whom I love—my Son with whom I am pleased.”

Note that there is:

• the FRUIT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

as well as

• SPIRITUAL FRUIT we are to bear or produce as per John 15 since accepting YAH’S SALVATION, being Baptised in RUACH HA KODESH (a.k.a HOLY SPIRIT) and commencing YAH’S/ELOHIM’S work in HIS Kingdom.

 

Here we look at both.

SPIRITUAL FRUIT TO BE PRODUCED OVER TIME AS A RESULT OF BEING BAPTISED BY THE RUACH HA KODESH (a.k.a HOLY SPIRIT):

 

GALATIANS 5:22-23 COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE (CJB)

²² But the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT is LOVE, JOY, PEACE, PATIENCE, KINDNESS, GOODNESS, FAITHFULNESS,  ²³ HUMILITY, SELF-CONTROL. Nothing in the Torah stands against such things.

 

 

JOHN 15:5-8 COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE (CJB)

⁵ “I am the vine and you are the branches. Those who stay united with me, and I with them, are the ones who bear much fruit; because apart from me you can’t do a thing. ⁶ Unless a person remains united with me, he is thrown away like a branch and dries up. Such branches are gathered and thrown into the fire, where they are burned up.

⁷ “If you remain united with me, and my words with you, then ask whatever you want, and it will happen for you. ⁸ This is how my Father is glorified — in your bearing much fruit; this is how you will prove to be my talmidim.

 

Being thrown into the fire implies MISSING HEAVEN and rather be thrown into hell.

HOW IS YOUR SPIRITUAL FRUIT? Are you more like YAHUSHUA?

GOOD FRUIT = A desire to live RIGHTEOUSLY, TO BE OBEDIENT TO YAH NO MATTER WHAT

 

1 PETER 1:16 COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE (CJB)

¹⁶ since the Tanakh says,

“You are to be holy because I am holy.”^[a]

 

HEBREWS 12:14 COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE (CJB)

¹⁴ Keep pursuing shalom with everyone and the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.

 

LEVITICUS 11:44-45 NAMES OF GOD BIBLE (NOG)

⁴⁴ “Here is the reason: I am Yahweh your Elohim. You must live holy lives. Be holy because I am holy. Never become unclean by touching anything that swarms or crawls on the ground. ⁴⁵ Here is the reason again: I am Yahweh. I brought you out of Egypt to be your Elohim. Be holy because I am holy.

Compare:

LEVITICUS 11:44-45 COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE (CJB)

⁴⁴ For I am Adonai your God; therefore, consecrate yourselves and be holy, for I am holy; and do not defile yourselves with any kind of swarming creature that moves along the ground. (Maftir) ⁴⁵ For I am Adonai, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt to be your God. Therefore you are to be holy, because I am holy.

 

LEVITICUS 20:26 NAMES OF GOD BIBLE (NOG)

²⁶ Be my holy people because I, Yahweh, am holy. I have separated you from other people to be my very own.

 

ROMANS 8:12 NAMES OF GOD BIBLE (NOG)

¹² So, brothers and sisters, we have no obligation to live the way our corrupt nature wants us to live.

 

 

ROMANS 12:1-2 COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE (CJB)

12 I exhort you, therefore, brothers, in view of God’s mercies, to offer yourselves as a sacrifice, living and set apart for GOD. This will please him; it is the logical “Temple worship” for you. ² In other words, do not let yourselves be conformed to the standards of the ‘olam hazeh. Instead, keep letting yourselves be transformed by the renewing of your minds; so that you will know what GOD wants and will agree that what he wants is good, satisfying and able to succeed. ³ For I am telling every single one of you, through the grace that has been given to me, not to have exaggerated ideas about your own importance. Instead, develop a sober estimate of yourself based on the standard which God has given to each of you, namely, trust.

 

 

JOHN 4:21-24 COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE (CJB)

²¹ Yeshua said, “Lady, believe me, the time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Yerushalayim. ²² You people don’t know what you are worshipping; we worship what we do know, because salvation comes from the Jews. ²³ But the time is coming — indeed, it’s here now — when the true worshippers will worship the Father spiritually and truly, for these are the kind of people the Father wants worshipping him. ²⁴ God is spirit; and worshippers must worship him spiritually and truly.”

 

 

PSALM 22:3 AMPLIFIED BIBLE (AMP)

 

EXODUS 30:1- 10 COMPLETE JEWISH BIBLE (CJB)

30 (vii) “You are to make an altar on which to burn incense; make it of acacia-wood. ² It is to be eighteen inches square and three feet high; its horns are to be of one piece with it. ³ Overlay it with pure gold — its top, all around its sides, and its horns; and put around it a molding of gold. ⁴ Make two gold rings for it under its molding at the two corners on both sides; this is where the carrying-poles will go. ⁵ Make the poles of acacia-wood, and overlay them with gold.

⁶ “Place it in front of the curtain by the ark for the testimony, in front of the ark-cover that is over the testimony, where I will meet with you. ⁷ Aharon will burn fragrant incense on it as a pleasing aroma every morning; he is to burn it when he prepares the lamps. (Maftir) ⁸ Aharon is also to burn it when he lights the lamps at dusk; this is the regular burning of incense before Adonai through all your generations. ⁹ You are not to offer unauthorized incense on it, or a burnt offering or a grain offering; and you are not to pour a drink offering on it. ¹⁰ Aharon is to make atonement on its horns once a year — with the blood of the sin offering of atonement he is to make atonement for it once a year through all your generations; it is especially holy to Adonai.”

 

When we worship YAH in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH,  HE dwells in our PRAISES because it is a SWEET SMELLING SACRIFICE / OFFERING TO HIM. When YAH dwells in our praises, it means that we are FILLED WITH HIS RUACH HA KODESH  who is the SHKINYINYAH GLORY OF YAHUVEH / YAHWEH GOD THE FATHER implying the VERY PRESENCE OF YAH!!!

The more we Praise and Worship YAH, the more of YAH we are filled with and the more of HIM we have inside of our spirits, hence the more we desire to be like HIM and do things like HIM, thereby being HOLY AS YAH IS HOLY!!! Without HIM and more of HIM in us, we are nothing and can not accomplish much. Without HIM and more of HIM in us, we it is difficult to BEAR GOOD FRUIT FOR HIM.

We also need to have the SEVEN SPIRITS / RUACH OF YAH as mentioned below:

 

ISAIAH 11:1-3 NAMES OF GOD BIBLE (NOG)

THE LORD’S KINGDOM WILL BE RULED BY A SHOOT FROM JESSE’S STUMP

⁵ Lightning, noise, and thunder came from the throne. Seven flaming torches were burning in front of the throne. These are the seven spirits of God.

 

REVELATION 5:6 NAMES OF GOD BIBLE (NOG)

⁶ I saw a LAMB standing in the center near the throne with the four living creatures and the leaders. The LAMB looked like he had been slaughtered. He had SEVEN HORNS and SEVEN EYES, which are the SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD sent all over the world.
