Another Slice of Spirit, Please Sir
"The boy (Twist) asks for more," yelled Bumble
At the English charity minus charitable people
According to Victorian novelist, Mr Dickens
Since 1900, loud Christians yell, "more!"
No one asked for or fell centuries before
Receiving the baptism of Spirit. Another?
When Jesus' Apostles waited in Galilee
When He rose & sent that promise with Mary
He taught them, promised God's Spirit (Holy)
Acts 1-2 record that baptism in the Spirit
The Apostles were not "slain" as some of late
Nor cried. "More!" & "X was slain by the spirit."
Jesus didn't fall when Spirit sat on a Shoulder
As a dove, and still we Heard Abba Father
The new tradition is dark, something other?!
If it's not in the Bible it cannot be kosher
If Jesus didn't fall at baptism, got praise from Father
We need to read, the truth of Trinity is there
People forgive us; I too get blamed as Pastor
I repeat: if not sanctioned in Bible, debate's over
We get all God's Spirit when Jesus is our Savior!
Holy Spirit is a person, part of the Triune Godhead
He is not a force, a hand, organ, soup, slice of bread
No need to yell 'more,' He dwells in us. Read The Word
Note: I posted this yesterday but it was lost; perhaps Jesus willed this poem. If so, I humbly return praise & thanks to Jesus, my LORD and Savior. Shalom shalom!
