The Alarming Disrespect Against The Holy Ghost Among Us Part 2
I am writing about this topic because I have seen more and more a resistance to the full manifestation of the Holy Spirit among His people. Beloved, this is the time of the Holy Ghost; we are wasting our time without flowing with HIM. Jesus said of the Spirit:
5 “But now I go away to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’ 6 But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. 8 And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they do not believe in Me; 10 of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; 11 of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. Matthew 16:5-11 NKJV
Jesus made it clear that the time of the Holy Ghost, this time that we are living right now, is for our advantage. He establishes that it is the Holy Spirit who convicts the world of sin. Beloved it is the Holy Spirit Who causes our hearts to repent so that we can be saved, so that even after we are saved, we can find forgiveness and restoration for our current shortcomings.
There is no evangelism without the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit who establishes that Jesus is the righteousness of God, that Jesus is truly the way of life and what is acceptable to our Heavenly Father; not Allah, not Buddha, not the Jehovah Witnesses or the Mormons…it is Jesus and Jesus alone who represents truly the right standing. It is the work of the Holy Ghost that gives men enough sense to understand that there is a judgment coming and they must go after God, that they must allow God to make straight their path before the grace of time runs out.
Without the Holy Ghost there are no absolutes, it is the all coming together under the banner of error and of many gods. Oh, how much we are missing without the precious Holy Spirit!
An independent thinker with a profound call to see the orthodoxy of the church and passion for Christ manifesting together. Angel was born in Brooklyn, New York in April of 1968, he was raised on the beautiful island of Puerto Rico where he earned his B.S. degree in Sociology with a minor in Education from the Inter American University in San Germán in 1991. That same year he moved to Jacksonville, Florida. After working construction jobs for a year and learning the English language, his first job working with foster-care children in the capacity of youth care worker was with Jacksonville Youth Sanctuary in September of 1992. With JYS he was promoted several times as group home supervisor, legal caseworker, and program director.
While in Jacksonville, Angel studied a couple of martial arts styles. After earning his black belt, he became the founder of Good Fight Ministries as he used martial arts as an instrument to preach the gospel. In 2004 Angel was selected Martial Arts Instructor of the Year for the State of Florida and in 2005 Angel was inducted in the USA Martial Arts Hall of Fame where he also received the Christian Spirit Award. In July of 2005 Angel accepted his call to pastor a bilingual church in Winton, NC where he served for a couple of years. Five months later he lost his first wife to cancer in December of that same year. This initiated a deep valley of suffering in his life, a mountain of costly mistakes and the embracing of lifestyles of sin that are well documented through this blog.
In August of 2012 Angel moved to Fairbanks Alaska with his wife Rayette Casiano and six children who are now adults. In Alaska, Angel continued his social work-related career and his ministry of preaching, teaching and writing. Angel is the author of two books, Hope for the divorcee: Forgiving and Moving Forward and 7 Banderas de Esperanza: La Bendición de Yokdzonot. In January 8th of 2020 Angel and his wife moved to Arizona.

I have enjoyed the teachings and am happy to hear this. Is my prayer that the Almighty God will cause us to be more sensitive to His Holy Spirit that we shall miss our providential place as the unerring Spirit of God leads us. amen
