The Fulness of the Holy Spirit and Zeal for Truth
By David J. Stewart | May 2018
Titus 1:10-13, “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.”
There is a direct correlation between having the FULNESS of the indwelling Holy Spirit, and one's passion for THE TRUTH. Something is VERY wrong with a minister, a pastor, a Bible teacher, an evangelist, who professes to know God, but has a lackadaisical attitude toward THE TRUTH! No man is filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, who makes light of the clarity of the Gospel and the purity of God's Word.
The truth is important my friend!!! The “truth” is the number one enemy of the Devil's world. Jesus came to bear witness to “THE TRUTH” (John 18:37). Jesus said that He is “THE TRUTH” (John 14:6). I never realized how much “truth” is mentioned in the Bible. John 17:17, “Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” Ironically, the one thing that most believers don't want to hear, and cannot handle to hear, in these perilous times is THE TRUTH! Go figure.
Kindly, that is why Harvest Baptist Church on Guam has banned me from returning, because I told “the truth” and they cannot handle it. I just listened to a beautiful MP3 sermon by Dr. Jack Hyles called, “Who Cares Anyway?,” in which he makes the statement, “Our trouble is we love only those who appeal to our senses!” Truly, I still love the folks at Harvest with all my heart, God knows, from when I attended there for a year in 2014, but evidently I mean nothing to them. Ironically, I heard the following true statement on their own local radio station: “You can tell someone's character by how they treat someone who can do nothing for them!” Acts 4:20, “For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”
Romans 14:10, “But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.” They are promoting the heresy of Calvinism; promoting the false prophets' John MacArthur, Paul Washer and Ray Comfort; and promoting the satanic corrupt Bible versions! I feel exactly like the apostle Paul, who said in Galatians 4:16, “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?” There's those important words again... “THE TRUTH”! I sure love the honesty of the Holy Bible, that is, King James Bible. God knows that I love everyone, sincerely; but I love THE TRUTH too and someone needs to stand! It seems that the Bob Jones University crowd just want to make a living and disregard the battle over the truth. I'll stand alone if I must! “When You Have To Stand Alone ” (MP3 by Pastor Jack Hyles; standing alone amongst independent Baptists). Gotta love Baptists!
We've got a bunch of impure of heart preachers across America, who are okay with having a dozen different “versions” of God's Holy Word. God authored ONE BOOK, not a bunch of versions! Since it is impossible to have MORE than one perfect and inspired Bible, the wicked pastors and Bible colleges, who go along with the Devil's umpteen Bible revisions, have no logical choice but to DENY the inspiration of God's Word, which they all do!!! I tell you, if it's not inspired, God didn't author it!!! Don't tell me that God authored a perfect living Book, but then left that perfect divine Book in the hands of modern, dead, dried-up, fuddy-duddy, deeper-life, arrogant, proud, intellectual, religious, scholars; to leave us with 900 different English versions to discern from. Even a fool hopefully isn't that stupid! The Big Problem Of Deeper Life Theological Seminary Professors.
Christianity Began as a New Birth, Not a Business
“It is impossible to enslave mentally or socially a Bible-reading people. The principles of the Bible are the groundwork of human freedom.” —Horace Greeley (1811-1872)
“The existence of the Bible, as a book for the people, is the greatest benefit which the human race has ever experienced. Every attempt to belittle it is a crime against humanity.” —Immanuel Kant (1724-1804)
“That book [King James Bible], sir, is the rock on which on republic rests.” —U.S. President Andrew Jackson (1767-1845)
“The Bible has been the Magna Carta of the poor and oppressed. The human race is not in a position to dispense with it.” —Thomas Huxley (1825-1895)
“So great is my veneration for the Bible that the earlier my children begin to read it the more confident will be my hope that they will prove useful citizens of their country and respectable members of society. I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible every year.” —U.S. President John Quincy Adams (1767-1848)
“It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. ” —U.S. President George Washington (1732-1799)One thing made Jesus angry, that is, when men turned God's house into a money-making business! Look at the Bible colleges and churches today and what do you see! Do you see citadels of truth, or places of business? If you have any spiritual discernment at all, you see the latter! Isaiah 59:14, “And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.” That sure describes America today! Lamentations 1:12, “Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by?” Do you care? One of the signs that a preacher is filled with the fulness of the Holy Spirit is that he has a deep, abiding, concern for the truth and other people.
A true man of God (who walks with God) is not inclined to be proud, pompous, highbrow, snobbish, arrogant, high-minded, too busy for others, nor condescending in his words; but rather, he is inclined to be humble, truthful, upfront, courageous, fearful of God, honest, content, zealous for the truth, hateful of sin, loving of people, oblivious to attacks, and he genuinely cares about others. Dr. Jack Hyles is right that businessmen are destroying churches all across America! Businessmen think in terms of money, prioritizing money; but Jesus warned in Luke 16:13, “Ye cannot serve God and mammon” (money). A preacher always upholds the truth, without concern for money...
“All across America businessmen are destroying churches!!!” —Dr. Jack Hyles, a truthful quote from the classic MP3 sermon, “I Find No Fault In This Man!”
Why do you think John the Baptist lived off the land out in a desert wilderness? John needed nothing from anybody, so he could let 'er rip and PREACH THE TRUTH!!! The love of money is the enemy of PREACHING!!! Getting comfortable financially, needing to maintain a stable income to satisfy a monthly budget is the enemy of Bible-preaching. Why do you think big churches today, like First Baptist Church of Hammond, have gone A.W.O.L. (Absent Without Leave) from THE BATTLE OF THE AGES? (MP3 by Dr. Jack Hyles). If our biggest fundamental churches won't stand against the heretical Bob Jones PANTSiversity Bible corrupting crowd, and the Moody SINstitute Bible corrupting crowd, and the Dallas Theological Cemetery Bible-corrupting crowd, then pray tell me, who will???
Of all the “fruit” (singular - Galatians 5:22-25) of the Holy Spirit, the one that stands out to me the most is “love.” Love effectively means caring—caring about the things of God, caring about people, caring about truth! No man truly loves God or his neighbor who shirks off the truth! The TWO greatest Bible commandments are to LOVE God with all thy might, mind and heart; and to love thy neighbor as thyself (Mark 12:30-31). Brother Lester Roloff (1914-1982) says these two commandments are really just ONE—to LOVE! Amen!
There is nothing wrong with a church operating under the umbrella of a business, for legal requirements. Some churches follow the government's 501c3 state-licensed laws to obtain tax-exemption, without which many ministries would implode. However, my big point is that a 501c3 is NOT a church, it is a business! Certainly, God's businesses is the most important business in the world, but I am not talking about money when I make that statement, I am talking about soul-winning!!!
Soul-Winners Will Shine, Not Pastors in Eternity
Daniel 12:3 does NOT say that Bible colleges nor church pastors will “shine as the brightness of the stars for ever and ever”; but rather, it says “they that turn many to righteousness” will. I once had a little pipsqueak wimp of a pastor, a spineless jellyfish with shoes on, criticize my ministry for “being outside the authority of the church.” What an egotistical, fruitless, envious, idiot! Daniel 12:3, “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” By God's grace, I have won more souls to Christ during my sleep just this past year, literally, than that meeny-mouth pastor has won to Christ in his entire life!
By God's grace last month, my Jesus-is-Savior.com ministry has now received 100,000,000 web visitors since 2002 when I began. Wow! I am humbled and give God all the praise, credit and glory, for it is His Holy Spirit working through me, by which I have achieved anything (John 15:5). If just 1-in-10,000 web visitors has been helped by God through my online labors, that means at least 10,000 people have been influenced for Christ through my humble labors. And if just 1-in-1,000 web visitors have been blessed through my labors, then 100,000 souls have been reached for Christ in some capacity! Praise the dear Lord!!! Even so, come, Lord Jesus!!!!!!!
I was gloriously saved in a local New Testament church in Chicago at age 13, were I was born and raised. I was trained in a local New Testament church how to serve God as a soul-winner. I was ordained in a local New Testament church in Chicago in 1993, after I graduated from Hyles-Anderson College (which I am still very grateful to have attended with no regrets whatsoever). I love HAC and am sad that they no longer believe that the King James Bible is inspired. That is the stuff nightmares are made of! I am a missionary to the internet, an evangelist afflicting the comforted, and to some a pastor comforting the afflicted. My website ministry is 100% rooted in the local church.
For some jealous pipsqueak pastor, who doesn't even know one thing wrong with the modern Bible versions, but hypocritically claims he is still against them, yet says he was saved from an NIV—the guy's a freaking idiot! I'm tempted to mention his shameful name, but he doesn't deserve the recognition. I asked that same lame pastor where the blood of Jesus is today, and he had no clue. Unbelievable! The blood is sprinkled on the heavenly Mercy Seat by the way (Hebrews 9:12, 24; 12:24). You see, that pastor heard about my ministry (from someone else, not me) and he is jealous that I speak with an authority through my website ministry. He attacked me saying, “You're not an apostle!” That is a little pastor folks! I have never claimed to be anything more than a humble sinner saved by God's grace! I never claimed to be an apostle. Since that pastor is a spineless coward, a boyish wimp, milquetoast, pantywaist and lacking any sizeable gonads; he is jealous of a real man of God when he sees one, despite my countless flaws. I am willing to die for the cause for Christ. 2nd Corinthians 12:15, “And I will very gladly spend and be spent for you; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved.”
Kindly, that same shameful little pastor, accused me of being “obsessed with the Bible issue debate.” He admitted to me that he doesn't even know one thing that is wrong with the modern Bible versions. Folks, how can a pastor berate me for being “obsessed” with a subject that he hasn't even investigated? Do you see what I am getting at? These horrible preachers today are just going through the motions, playing church, going along to get along, collecting a weekly paycheck, parasiting off of the work of God; but they DON'T CARE ABOUT THE TRUTH!!! Well, I DO CARE VERY MUCH!!!!!!! If you're not upset, you're not paying attention!
Salvation is not doing your best, it is having Christ's best put to your account through receiving Him by faith.
“You'd be shocked if you knew, how the versions of the Bible that are coming out, which are so unnecessary and not even Bible. You'd be shocked if you knew what they're doing to cause Christian people to feel subconsciously unstable. You'd be shocked if you knew what it's doing to the nervous system of our people! All these Bibles!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, MP3 sermon, “Don't Chase The Pendulum.”Every Believer Has the Holy Spirit, But the Holy Spirit Has Few Believers
Jesus never turned away anyone empty-handed except those who came full of themselves. A glass filled with water has no room for oil in it. Likewise, a believer full of his or her own ambitions, thoughts and desires has no room for the fulness of the Holy Spirit. I am not talking about salvation here. The Lord promises in John 6:37, “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.” The Lord will save the most selfish person who comes to Him by childlike faith to be saved, with nothing required in return. Salvation is a gift, given solely in exchange for our trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior. Salvation is received, not achieved. Albeit, once a believer is saved, we now need to grow in grace, and surrender our life to Christ's Lordship, so that we can be used of God to win souls and do many wonderful works (as a believer). When the Holy Spirit can empower a man wholly, without being hindered by that man's selfish ambitions and personal sins, then we say that man has the “fullness of the Holy Spirit.”
God is willing to work through every humble believer, but our own pride, sins and doctrinal error will hinder us from being used by God. May I remind you that Oprah Winfrey, whose net worth is $3,000,000,000 has given hundreds of millions of dollars away to charity? That's chump change for her, but my point is that she does far more good with her money than most churches are doing. I just read that Oprah has already put it in her will to give away $1,000,000,000 after she's gone. So big deal if your Baptist church helps orphans, if you are using corrupt Bible versions and promoting Calvinism (which is NOT the Gospel). Is a Baptist church a “church” at all if Calvinism is being preached instead of the free grace Gospel? I think not!
Notice our text passage again below, if you will. The Bible specifically warns about “THE CIRCUMCISION,” that is, a cult that was adding the practice of male circumcision under Mosaic law to the Gospel. The entire Epistle of Galatians refutes this heresy as well. The Bible says that these Gospel-corrupters need to be silenced with THE TRUTH...
Titus 1:10-13, “For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake. One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith.”
I am doing what God tells me to do when I rebuke false prophets, corrupt churches and ANYONE who corrupts the Gospel. Some people have even hurled criticism my way over the years, for a thing or two that they read on my website that didn't set right with them concerning salvation. Hey, if I say something stupid, rip my face off!!! I am one of few people who WILL amend my words, admit I was wrong, and do better if I messed up! 1st John 1:8-10 teaches that a person who denies their sinfulness is not saved. If we say, “We have not sinned!,” the truth is not in us. Hebrews 12:6-8 says God will chastise His children, or else you are not saved. If you can live in willful sin, with no Holy Spirit conviction, then you are not saved. That is solid Bible; but you CAN choose to ignore the Holy Spirit, and become hard-hearted, even to the point where you may think you are getting away with your sins, and not care anymore; but you will be miserable and God will not leave you alone, if you are truly born-again as His child. In fact, a believer may NOT have a desire to forsake their sins, but they will at a minimum KNOW that they are displeasing their heavenly Father. God is NOT an absent parent!!!
Woe Unto the Idle Shepherds, Leading God's Flock Astray!
Jeremiah 23:1-2, “Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and d riven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD.”
It has been truly said that the most dangerous place to be in the world today is in a mother's womb, because the chances of being murdered by abortion today is extremely high! What a sad testimony to the so-called “liberty” that we enjoy and abuse in America! We have taken the wonderful freedom which God gave us, and have turned it into oppression for others.
Please notice in Jeremiah 23:2 that the Lord called the people, “MY FLOCK”! A church congregation, if comprised of true born-again believers, belongs solely to God. Pastors have been entrusted by God to “FEED” His sheep. Tragically, the Lord said that the bad pastors, instead of feeding God's flock, had “SCATTERED” them and “DRIVEN” them away!!! Is this not the awful scene across America today everywhere? It sure is!!!
When I hear a hypocritical pastor talking about “seeking God,” while he is searching through a dozen different Bible “versions ” to interpret the meaning of a particular passage of Scripture, then I know that he is not filled with the Holy Spirit. It is common knowledge among clergy today, that there is a relentless ongoing debate over the inspiration of God's Word. Sadly, most of the clergy simply don't care, because they are indifferent toward THE TRUTH. If they truly walked close to the Lord, then their heart would burn as did the truth in the prophet Jeremiah. Jeremiah 20:9, “ Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.”
I triple-dog dare you to prove what I am about to say—to the same degree that a church or preacher prioritize making money, they will avoid any controversial matters, especially the fierce battle over the inspiration of God's Word and the modern Alexandrian perversions. Bob Jones University, Moody Bible Institute, East Texas Baptist College—all taking the easy way out, loitering in the mall, sitting on the premises instead of standing on the promises, going along to get along, chaching ($$$). John the Baptist stood against evil like no other preacher stood, which eventually cost him his head and life; which is why I believe John lived off the land, reclusive, needing nothing of material wealth from anyone!
Pastors have a solemn responsibility before God to preach THE TRUTH! It is unthinkable that any pastor would sanction dozens (or even two for that matter) different Bible versions instead of just ONE BOOK... THE BOOK! That blessed BOOK is the inspired KING JAMES BIBLE!!!!!!! Hallelujah! No other book in this world speaks with the majestic eloquence, authoritativeness, candidness, life and power of the 1611 King James Bible (and subsequent typo correcting editions). Please accept no imitation!!!
There is a night and day difference between a true fundamental Bible-preacher and a neo-evangelical minister! Like a masculine woman who hasn't a clue on how to become feminine; so also are neo-evangelical ministers today, who haven't a clue on how to become a genuine man of God—who stand uncompromisingly for the truth, refuse to hold grudges against fellow brethren, care for the uncaring, love everyone with God's love, and walk in the fulness and power of the Holy Spirit!!!
King James Bible - The ONLY Accurate Translation! (MP3, Dr. Ralph Yankee Arnold)
“To change the truth into a lie is to make the truth of no effect. Truth is very important! Our whole life is based upon truth. Truth is the real world. If you don't know truth, you believe a lie. And many people never know the truth!” —
Dr. Yankee Arnold, an excellent quote from the awesome MP3 sermon, “Satanic Bible Revisions vs. King James Bible 03 | Part 01 | Part 02.”
“You're losing the power of
truth, and that is critical!”

Why People Are So Easily Deceived
Love, Caring, Truth and the Fulness of the Holy Spirit Are All Inseparable
Many people fail to understand what true “love” really is. They think love is a feeling. No, that is phileo type love (fondness) in the Greek, which means to love someone else for WHO THEY ARE; but God's true agape love means that I love others because of WHO I AM! The latter is God's love in me. I preach THE TRUTH that the modern Alexandrian-based Bible versions are corrupt, all straight from the pits of Hell, because of WHO I AM. That is, I love other people with God's love, and I am going to tell them the THE TRUTH, even if it gets me kicked out of churches, despised and banned! Romans 3:4, “God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar.” God only authored ONE BOOK!!!!!!! When I stand for THE TRUTH, I am loving you, because I care, because God's Holy Spirit is working through me as His redeemed child. I am a nobody, just a voice in cyberspace, a sinful man with a broken heart and a burning passion for THE TRUTH!!!
The man who is filled with God's Holy Spirit is zealous about THE TRUTH, especially the truth of God's inspired words. The only reason why so many Bible colleges and preachers today are denying the precious inspiration of the King James Bible, is because they esteem hundreds of other English versions as competition, which is foolishness! The first thing the deadly serpent did to deceive Eve was to QUESTION what God had said. Genesis 3:1, “Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” I want you to notice two things here:
1) Satan is extremely subtle (According to Revelation 20:2, the “serpent” is the Devil, the Dragon).
2) Satan's most subtle method of deceiving people is to produce more than one authority, to confuse them (The Devil knew that by publishing literally hundreds of English Bible versions, he could cause mass confusion and diminish the voice of God's true Word. The serpent created doubt in Eve's mind simply by placing a question mark where God has placed a period.)
It amazes me how little today's churches and pastors CARE about the purity of God's Word. Sadly, the churches blindly accept the experts as experts simply because they are self-professed “experts.”
May I kindly remind you dear reader what the Holy Scriptures tell us in 1st John 2:27, “But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.” I don't need some over-inflated, egotistical, deeper-lifer, spiritually dead, dried-up, religious coroner type, intellectual, to tell me that we don't have God's inspired words today. I have the indwelling Holy Spirit as a born-again Christian, and He tells me in my soul that His words are 100% inspired, or else that cannot be His words. Jesus said in John 6:63, “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” It is so ridiculous to hear preachers say that God's words lost their inspiration.
Folks, if the words were breathed out by God, they are STILL His breathed out words, so they are still inspired!!! I don't know why so many preachers have a hard time with that, except that they've been listening to a bunch of intellectuals. 1st Corinthians 3:19, “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.” I can tell how close a man walks with God by his passion for THE TRUTH.
I recently had a local Baptist pastor advise me, kindly with good intent, to “ALWAYS SEEK GOD!” That is wonderful advice, which I will never forget; but unfortunately, HE IS THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO SEEK GOD!!! That pastor promotes Dr. John MacArthur, uses and sells satanic Alexandrian Bible versions, and teaches that you must forsake a lifestyle of sin to be saved. I cannot help but doubt his salvation, since he is caught between grace and works (as were the sincere unsaved religious workers in Matthew 7:21-23). There is NOTHING in this universe as important as the integrity of the Gospel, and the purity of God's inspired Word; yet most pastors and churches today make so light of the issue, that they mock, laugh, and ridicule people like me, calling me a “cult” member for upholding the inspiration of the King James Bible and refuting the Devil's modern Bible revisions!!!!!!!
We'll find out at the Judgment Seat of Christ, won't we? If your pastor or theological seminary professor is so far away from God, that he cannot even discern which of today's hundreds of English Bible versions is the genuine McCoy, then you need to leave that dead place and go find a real Bible college and church!!!
Many foolish professed believers; such as the Bob Jones University (BJU) crowd, play down the Bible translation issue as a matter of intense debate, as if that makes it okay not to join the battle and take sides. BJU is A.W.O.L. from the battle, and they can expect no rewards from God other than their undeserved earthly paycheck!!! I'll keep fighting all alone by myself, and with those few other courageous believers today who are also outside the gate with Jesus. There's no place I'd rather be, than with Jesus!!!!!!!
Our Great God is So Merciful and Good!
