"Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, and works righteously, and speaks the truth in his heart..." Psalm 15.1-2The word RIGHTEOUSNESS is written 371 times in the Bible. RIGHTEOUSNESS is the foundation of the Almighty's Throne. What does this have to do with mankind? No one that lives unrighteously can contemplate the face of God. This is why the Holy Spirit confirms that the wages of sin is death.

RIGHTEOUSNESS
"For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5.20The Kingdom of Heaven is purely righteous. Once there, you will have no memories of what is unrighteous. In order to enter, you must be righteous.
But how can we be righteous when we are merely human and sinners? Abraham's faith, along with his obedience to the Word of God, made him a righteous man.
Therefore, you must use your faith in obedience to the Word.

WHO IS AND WHO ISN'T?
"Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His."Romans 8.9Who is saved? Who belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ? This verse leaves us without a shadow of a doubt. The good thing about these questions is that the Holy Spirit has already answered it deep inside those who are His, when He says: The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God. Romans 8.16
If you still have doubts, seek Him immediately.

RICHES
"...if riches increase, do not set your heart on them." Psalm 62.10In all of His teachings, Jesus always addresses the future. THE ETERNAL FUTURE OF THE SOUL. These teachings are meant to protect our faith so that we may achieve the salvation of our soul.
Regardless of the riches you may possess, whether they have to do with your family, love life or material successes, they do not compare to the salvation of the soul. Therefore, the wise do not get attached to anything that is of this world.

WHEN THE HEIR IS A CHILD
"Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father." Galatians 4.1-2Who in their right mind would give a child a motorcycle, if he can't even ride a tricycle yet? Spiritually speaking, many children insist with God the Father to take possession of things that can only be given to adults.
It is a fact that when an heir is still a minor, he must wait for the right time, which is determined by the Father, to take possession of everything.
In the meantime, he must remain patient.
The Holy Spirit gives patience.

NEW MAN
"Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you and you will prophesy with them an be turned into another man." 1 Samuel 10.6The main reason for the baptism with the Holy Spirit is to transform the person into a new man. A man that is according to the character of God, the thoughts of God, the attitude of God and overall, that he is made in the image of God, which was one day lost by Adam and Eve.
Any other reason for wanting to receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit is a waste of time.

HE IS NOT HIS
"But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His." Romans 8.9Being in the flesh is to occupy your thoughts with the things of this world.
Being in Spirit is to live and think about the things of a High and Holy place. Your thoughts are linked to the Word of God. This is where you receive the power to overcome doubt, fear and resist ideas that are not righteous, pure and healthy.
