Introduction…
This week’s devotional, mentioned at the end of the blog, touches on what Jesus said about the Holy Spirit being His replacement on earth in John 16:1-16.
Hopefully, the outcome of todays blog will be that we will see that we too can be just like those that went before us if we see the point they were making about the Holy Spirit. The people in our story were ordinary people who did extraordinary things because they believed God, just as Joshua and Caleb were doing when they said Israel could successfully enter Caanan.
Remember too that Sampson could not break cords binding his hands after God left him because of disobedience. Without God, we are helpless; - but with God, Hebrews 11 has a list of what God’s people did. From New Testament days onwards, we need the Holy Spirit in the way Jesus said. Last time we looked at William Penn, whose actions came about because he found faith in Jesus Christ through coming across the Quakers - which resulted in him leaving the Church of England. After finding faith in Jesus Christ, his life changed so much that he refused to be blackmailed by his father to return to the Church of England, who threatened to disinherit him from the very large family estate. At least the early Quakers believed in Jesus' promise that disciples could have in the Holy Spirit, which Peter is recorded as teaching in Acts 2:38. Just prior to returning to His Father in Heaven, Jesus also said that His disciples must do nothing until they receive the Holy Spirit; (Acts 1:4,8). Only that way would they be doing God’s will. Although we are covering the Quakers at the moment, I’m not a Quaker as it happens but a Baptist, having left the Anglican church of my youth, but here some examples of Quaker women who believed and achieved…
Quakers putting their faith into action…
For ‘acknowledgements’ see list above…
“A primary Quaker belief is that all human beings are equal and worthy of respect, so the fight for human rights also extended to many other areas of society. In the early days, Quaker views toward women were remarkably progressive, and by the 19th century, many Quakers were active in the movement for women's rights.”
1800s… Elizabeth Fry
“In the early 1800s, Quaker philanthropist Elizabeth Fry was actively involved in prison reform and became Europe's chief campaigner for inmates' rights.”
1848-1865 and onwards… Lucretia Mott
“One of the earliest suffragettes was Quaker minister Lucretia Mott, a fierce abolitionist who refused to use cotton cloth, cane sugar, and other slavery-produced goods. Frustrated by anti-slavery organizations that would not accept female members, Mott set about establishing women's abolitionist societies.
In 1848 Mott helped bring together the first American women's rights meeting in Seneca Falls, New York, and was elected as the first president of the American Equal Rights Association after the end of the Civil War. When slavery was outlawed in 1865, she didn't stop her activist aims and began to advocate giving black Americans the right to vote.”
1866 onwards…Susan B. Anthony
“Another Quaker, Susan B. Anthony, also dedicated her life to attaining equal voting rights for women in America and founded the American Equal Rights Association in 1866.
Quaker's commitment to bettering the lives of women continued through until the 20th century.”
Upto 1920 Alice Paul
“Prominent suffrage leader Alice Paul, widely recognized as helping to deliver the vote for women in the United States in 1920, attributed her Quaker upbringing for her beliefs on rights for women. The belief that all humans are worthy of respect extended to criminals.”
Since then…
The Society of Friends has been active in all things humanitarian…
There are too many to mention them all by name, but it is easy to use Google to discover more, and so I come to the epilogue.

Yahushua (Jesus) said "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life" these are all descriptions of 'Yahs Commands (Torah). The spirit of Truth is the spirit of Torah and therefore I believe David Pawson is correct on his 3 points of Yahushuas going and coming.
This is a very good teaching.
You are correct when you say that Torah is God's commands, over time, and through the experience of His chosen people. That is why Jesus said the He came to fulfill the entirety of the Law. What is applicable to them is applicable to us, only, what Yah needs from us is different to what Yah needed from them.
@@EzioAuditoreDaFirenze99 The Torah Moshe delivered from Yah was about the physical. Yahushua filled it up (fulfilled) to a spiritual level. So for example not just the action of adultery but just thinking of adultery is a sin. The price of sin is death and we are all guilty but for those of us striving to be righteous in repentance, our sins have been blotted out/covered by the blood of the lamb. There is no difference between Gentile and Israelite.
@@gwynedd-1 You're correct. You'd be surprised at how few strive to be righteous, given the consequences.
This is a false doctrine.
If you understand that Yahushua is the Way, Truth and Life (Torah) then David Pawson is correct given that Torah is Yahs Truth that He gave to us and sent to us in the loving form of Yahushua.
@@gwynedd-1 JESUS is not the way, JESUS is the way of God.
