Is Spirit of God Like a Genie, To Be Used By Pastors
I
Yesterday, I began to share a deep anguish I have as to how some churches use the Holy Spirit as a magician, almost as if they control this THIRD PERSON of the Holy Trinity and Godhead. The verses from Scripture that guides me is Romans 8, John 14-17, and Ephesians, especially chapter 4: 30

BIBLE SAYS, New Living Translation:
"The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you." Romans 8:11
This MUST mean we have ALL of the Holy Spirits presence and power inside of us, when we accepted Jesus as our Savior and LORD. Spirit of God is a Person, and cannot be chopped in pieces or slices. He is not a pizza or a pie!
III
No man can give you or me THE HOLY SPIRIT. He dwells inside a believer who - at the moment accepts Jesus - does not abandon Jesus as LORD and Savior.
In summary:
1. You as a believer have all God's Spirit and Power. U don't need apostles or pastors to bless you (but ask biblical pastors to intercede for you in prayer)
2. The Holy Spirit can be grieved (Ephesians 4:30) by poor lifestyle choices believers may make; He does not STOP DWELLING in your heart until and unless you abandon faith in Jesus as LORD
3. If you fall when a "man of god" prays or touches you, that so-called CHRISTIAN is using dark power, not Holy Spirit power. Because no one can USE God's Spirit as Aladdin used his magic lamp and genie. The Spirit raised Jesus from the grave; He is not someone's toy or genie. It is a lie. Most emotionally-weak people faint at bad news, or get too excited, or self-delude even by expecting "to be slain in the spirit." We humans will be swayed ...
We need to pray to the THREE PERSONS of the Trinity only, for HELP to honor God and Jesus. The HOLY SPIRIT never wants your worship. He has no need.
4. The Holy Spirit never wants attention or worship: He points us to Jesus. In fact the TRINITY is self-sufficient, and is a mutual admiration society. Jesus, on earth, pointed to the FATHER as SOURCE! Rarely did Jesus seek worship while on earth. That is a lesson. Mere men & fake pastors seek self-glory! Shalom shalom and amen. Be blessed but read the Bible yourself (at least a verse, daily for meditation. It will RENEW your mind, & please God's Spirit)
