I roto i te Faufaa Tahito e i roto i na Evanelia e maha o te Faufaa Apî, te tai'o nei tatou i te parau no te vahi mo'a roa. Ko te Wahi Tapu rawa te nohoanga o te Atua i roto i te Tapenakara. Te Wairua o te Atua; i noho te Wairua Tapu i roto i te Hunga Tapu. Kaore he tangata i whakaaetia kia tomo ki roto ki te Wahi Tapu, haunga te tohunga nui. Kotahi ia tau, ka tukua te tohunga nui kia tomo ki roto ki te Wahi Tapu. Heoi ano, ehara i te mea kare he hipoki o te toto o nga kararehe, he mea patunga tapu mo ia ake mo nga he me nga hara o te iwi o te Atua. I roto i te kawenata hou, kua kore te Wairua Tapu e noho i roto i te whare, engari i roto i te ngakau o te mea hanga hou. Heoi ano, enei ra, e kore te Wairua Tapu e manakohia i nga wa katoa i roto i nga oranga o nga Karaitiana. I roto i te maha o nga oranga Karaitiana, ka peia te Wairua Tapu i roto i te ngakau, ka whakahokia ki roto i te whare. Ko te Wairua Tapu ka manakohia, ka taea e ia te whakaatu i a ia i te wa o te karakia, engari ko tera. He aha te Wairua Tapu i peia ai i roto i te ngakau o nga Karaitiana maha?
Ko te arai i haea kia rua
Ina I mate a Ihu i runga i te ripeka, a tangohia ana e ia nga hara katoa me nga he o te tangata ki runga ki a ia ano, te arai i wehea ai te teneti tuatahi i te tuarua o nga teneti; te Mea Tapu rawa, i riihi rua, mai i runga ki raro. Ko te teneti tuatahi kaore ano i noho. Inaianei, ko te huarahi ki te wahi tino tapu, kua tuwhera te huarahi ki te Atua, mo te katoa. Katoa, Ko wai ka whakapono ki a Ihu Karaiti, te Mesia, a ka whakaae ki a ia hei Kaiwhakaora, a ka houhia te rongo ki te Atua.
I te wa i whakaarahia ai a Ihu i te hunga mate, Ihukake ki te Matua. I haere a Ihu me ona ake toto, ki te wahi tapu a ka whiwhi i te whakaoranga mutunga kore mo nga tangata katoa, ko wai e whakapono ki a ia.
Mai i te wa i mate ai a Ihu ka pakaru te arai o te Wahi Tapu kia rua, kare te nohoanga o te Wairua Tapu i roto i te Hunga Tapu, kei muri i te arai tuarua, atu. I whakaritea e te Atua tetahi atu nohoanga mo tona Wairua Tapu, ara i roto i te ngakau o nga mea hanga hou katoa, ko wai ka uru ki te Tinana o te Karaiti.
Fanauhia i roto i te Tino o te Mesia
I roto hoki ia Karaiti Ihu kahore ano hoki te kotinga i tetahi mea, kaore ranei te kotingakore, Engari he mea hanga hou (Karatia 6:15)
Mai i te wa i riro ai koe whanau ano ahei hanga hou, no te Tino o Ihu Karaiti koutou. Ko te uru anake ki roto ki te Tinana o te Karaiti; te Hahi na roto i te faaapîraa; whanau ano. Ko te mema o te hahi o te rohe e kore e uru ki te tinana o te Karaiti.
Ko koe kotia i roto i a Ihu Karaiti. Ko te tikanga tenei kua whakatakotoria e koe to Te ahua hara, a tanumia ana ki roto iriiringa.
Ko nga tawhito kua kore koe e noho ana na reira kaore koe e kaha ki te haere i roto i te hara. No te mea kua mate to koutou ahua hara:
Kei roto hoki ia ia nga mea katoa o te tinana o te Atua. A kua tino rite koutou i roto ia ia, Ko tehea te upoko o nga rangatiratanga katoa me te mana: He mea kokoti koutou i roto i a ia, he kotinga kore ringa, ki te whakarere i te tinana o nga hara o te kikokiko i te kotinga o te Karaiti: I tanumia ki a ia i te iriiringa, he mea hoki i ara ake ai koutou me ia, i runga i te whakapono ki te mahi a te Atua, nana nei ia i whakaara ake i te hunga mate (Kolosa 2:9-12)
Kua ara to wairua i te hunga mate, na te kaha o te Wairua Tapu. Kua hoatu ki a koe he ngakau hou o te kikokiko. To ngakau kohatu, i ki tonu i te puremu, moepuku, (moepuku) poke, moepuku, Tuhinga o mua, karakia whakapakoko, makutu, mauahara, rerekētanga rerekētanga rerekētanga, whaiwhai, riri, ngangau, wehenga, titorehanga, hae, kohuru, haurangi, whakahihiri, etc. kua whakakapia e te ngakau hou o te kikokiko. No reira, ka noho te Wairua Tapu i roto i a koe.
Na kua hoatu nei ki a koutou he ngakau kikokiko hou, a e noho ana te Wairua Tapu i roto i a koutou, Te hinaaro o te Atua; Ua papaihia ta ’na mau faaueraa i roto i to outou aau. Kei a koe nga mea katoa e hiahia ana koe ki te haere i runga i ana whakahau me te mahi i tona hiahia i runga i tenei whenua, rite tonu ki a Ihu.
Ka noho te Wairua Tapu i roto i te ngakau o te mea hanga hou
Te Wairua Tapu, Ko wai i noho tuatahi i roto i te Wahi Tapu o te Temepara, kei muri i te arai tuarua, kahore hoki he tangata e ahei te whakatata atu ki a ia, haunga te tohunga nui, te ora nei i roto i te ngakau o nga mea hanga hou katoa. Ua riro to outou tino ei hiero no te Atua ora e te parahi ra te Varua Maitai i roto ia outou.
He aha? A kahore koutou i matau he whare tapu to koutou tinana no te Wairua Tapu i roto na ia koutou, i a koutou i te Atua, ehara hoki koutou i a koutou? Kua oti hoki koutou te hoko ki te utu: na, whakakororiatia te Atua ki o koutou tinana, me to wairua, na te Atua (1 Koriniti 6:19-20)
Ina kua riro koe he hanga hou, ka koe kāore haere i muri i te kikokiko, engari me haere i runga i te Wairua.
Me mahi e koe ta te Kupu, te Paipera, e kii ana koe ki te mahi. Mena ka whakaaetia e koe te Kupu i roto i to oranga. Because you decide if you want to walk after the Spirit or after the flesh. Because you can raise your flesh, from the dead anytime you want.
How do you raise your flesh from the dead? By listening to the lusts and desires of the flesh and feeding your flesh and by walking after the flesh.
Ka haere koe i muri i te Wairua, me haere koe ki roto Te mau faaueraa a Iesu, te Word. You shall do what He tells you to do, instead of doing what your flesh (i.e. rongo, karekau, whakaaro, hinengaro, kare-a-roto, etc.) tells you to do.
Thoughts, karekau, and emotions belong to the flesh and can be deceptive, therefore you can’t rely on them, nor build upon them. There is only one Truth: te Word. Therefore you can only rely and build upon the Word.
The sons of God are led by the Holy Spirit
‘Ko te hunga katoa e arahina ana e te Wairua o te Atua, He tama ratou na te Atua (Roma 8:14)
E kī ana te Word, that the sons of God are (tonu) being led by the Holy Spirit. Hei hanga hou; He Tama a te Atua, you have received the Holy Spirit in full, and not just a part of Him.
Kaore koe e haere ki te whare karakia ki te hui tahi me te Wairua Tapu. No te mea ka whanau ano koe i roto i te wairua, me te korero i nga reo hou, katahi ka noho te Wairua Tapu i roto i tona ki tonu i roto i a koe. Kua riro koe hei whare tapu mo te Wairua Tapu, ka noho te Wairua Tapu i roto i a koe.
Ina tutaki koe ki tetahi, ko wai he raruraru, ano he mate, he raruraru hinengaro, he raruraru whanau, he raruraru marena, he raruraru putea, etc., kare koe e tono i taua tangata ki te hahi, kia whiwhi awhina.
He pai, o te akoranga, ki te tono tangata ki te hahi. Engari kei a koe nga mea e hiahiatia ana e tenei tangata, ara ko te Wairua Tapu.
Ka taea e te Wairua Tapu, e te hinaaro nei te Varua Maitai e tauturu i te mau taata atoa i nia i te fenua nei, ki te whakaae te tangata ki a ia. A me tuku ano e koe kia mahi tahi me koe.
Ma te Wairua Tapu e homai te kaha ki nga kupu, e korero ana koe mo te oranga me te ahuatanga o tenei tangata. Ka mahi tahi koutou; e pŭpŭ hoê outou e e ite amui outou no Iesu Mesia; te Kupu me te whakakororia i a ia.
Kahore ano i riro i a koutou te Wairua Tapu, ki te whai ahua pai. Otira kua riro ia koutou te Wairua Tapu hei kaiwhakaatu mo Ihu Karaiti, ki te kawe i te rongo pai ki te iwi, ki te tohatoha i te ora, ki te tuku noa i nga herehere, me te whakaora i nga turoro. Kua riro ia koutou te Wairua Tapu, no te tavini ia Iesu Mesia e no te tavini i te taata.
I peia te Wairua Tapu i te ngakau
Engari he aha te mahi i tenei ra, he maha nga ngakau kua ki, ka poke, me nga mea o te ao, e noho tonu ana te ‘whaiaro’ i runga i te torona. Kaore he waahi mo te Wairua Tapu na reira ka peia te Wairua Tapu i roto i te ngakau.
Kua mate te Wairua Tapu, na te nga hiahia me nga hiahia o te kikokiko, me nga mea o te ao.
He maha nga Karaitiana e whakakii ana ia ratou ano, me nga mea o te ao, maoti i te faaî ia ratou iho i te Parau a te Atua.
E rapu ana ratou i nga mea o tenei ao, kaua e rapu i nga mea o runga, Kei reira te Karaiti e noho ana i te taha matau o te Matua.
Na tera, kua whakahokia te Wairua Tapu ki tona wahi tawhito, ara he whare, he mea hanga na te ringa tangata.
Kaore matou e hiahia kia noho tonu te Wairua Tapu ki a matou, no te mea tera te tikanga, ia faaroo tatou Ia'na e ia haapa'oi Ta'na mau faaueraa i te mau taime atoa. Te auraa ra, e ti'a ia tatou ia ora ia au i To'na hinaaro eiaha râ i to tatou ake hiahia. Te auraa, e aro mai e e faatitiaifaro Oia ia tatou e e heheu mai Oia i te mau mea e aore râ, te mau peu i roto i to tatou oraraa e ti'a ia tatou ia faaore.
Kāore, kaore matou e pai ki tera. He pai ake ta tatou i te Wairua Tapu i roto i te hahi; i roto i te whare, tawhiti atu i o tatou ngakau, kia ora ai tatou i o tatou ake oranga. I roto noa i te taviniraa i te Sabati, me nga ratonga o te wiki, ka tukua te Wairua Tapu kia puta.
Na te Wairua Tapu ranei e whakaputa nga ngakau pai?
He maha nga tikanga, me nga tikanga, e whakamahia ana ki te ‘whakaoho’ i te Wairua Tapu, penei i te waiata nui, waiata waiata, me te tukurua ano i te waiata. Waiata waiata penei i te 'Holy Spirit fill this room', ‘Holy Spirit rain down’ etc. ki te whakaoho i nga kare-a-roto. Ma te whakamahi i enei tikanga, ka karangatia te Wairua Tapu mo tetahi haora e rua ranei, kia pa te tangata, ka wheako i nga kare-a-roto me nga kare-a-roto ka uru atu ki etahi ahua o te harikoa.
Engari ka mutu te karakia, me haere te Wairua Tapu. No te mea ehara te Wairua Tapu whakaaetia kia haere mai me matou, ki o tatou kainga.
Ka mutu te karakia, kua tae ki te wa ki te tango i to maatau oranga o ia ra, me te mahi i ta matou e hiahia ai. No te mea whakaaro, e arai ana te Wairua Tapu ia koe i roto i tetahi mea e hiahia ana koe ki te mahi. Ko waho o te patai! No reira ka waiho e matou te Wairua Tapu, te wahi e hiahia ana tatou ki a ia: I roto i te Hahi, i roto i te whare. He pera ano i roto i te Kawenata Tawhito, e te toea o te hepetoma te ora nei tatou mai te mea e aita e Atua e ia haere ana‘e tatou i te pureraa e tatarahapa oioi tatou e e hinaaro tatou i te Varua Mo‘a ia horo‘a faahou mai i te tahi mau mana‘o maitai..
He tama koe na te Atua 24 haora i te ra, e whitu nga ra i te wiki!
Engari ehara i te mea penei te mahi. He hanga hou koe; He Tama a te Atua 24 hāora i ia rā, e whitu nga ra i te wiki. Na te Wairua Tapu 24 hāora i ia rā, e whitu nga ra o te wiki kei roto i a koe. I te iti rawa, Koina te tikanga. Ki te kore koe e peia te Wairua Tapu i roto i to ngakau.
He Tangata te Wairua Tapu, a ehara i te kaha, to create a pleasant feeling or emotion. Kua homai e te Atua tona Wairua Tapu ki a koutou, so that you can do the work that Jesus has commanded you to do.
The Holy Spirit is your Comforter, and the Holy Spirit is there, to guide you into all truth, hei whakaako i a koe, to correct you, so that you will grow up into the sonship of God, and walk after His will; Ana whakahau.
God is not created to please and to serve you,
but you are created to please God and to serve Him
Kia tatou, no reira, kia tupato, with the way we speak about the Holy Spirit, and how we treat the Holy Spirit. When you sing in church, songs about the Holy Spirit, and ask the Holy Spirit to descend from heaven, you don’t acknowledge, that the Holy Spirit already lives inside of you. You compare the Holy Spirit with a feeling. But God is Spirit and not a feeling.
By comparing the Holy Spirit with a feeling, a ma te waiata me heke mai i te Rangi, e korero autaki ana koe, ko nga mea kei a koe kaore e ranea mo koe. E mea ana koe, he pai ake ki a koe he ahua pai me nga whakaaturanga i roto i te ao taiao, tae atu ki o koutou kikokiko.
Engari kaore te Wairua Tapu i tae mai mo tera kaupapa, kare ano a Ihu Karaiti i mate, mo taua kaupapa. Kaore ia i haere mai ki te whakangahau i a koe, engari hei arahi i a koutou ki te pono katoa.
Kua homai e te Atua tona Wairua Tapu, ki te noho i roto i te mea hanga hou, kaua ki te whare i hanga e te ringa. Ko Tona wahi tera i roto i te Kawenata Tawhito. Kei te ora tatou i roto i te kawenata hou. Kua homai e te Atua tona Wairua, na reira e nehenehe ta tatou e tavini Ia’na a whakanuia ia.
Whakahokia te Wairua Tapu ki tona wahi. Te waahi, nana; tou ngakau; to oranga. Kia waiho te Wairua Tapu hei Kaiwhakamarie, a mana koutou e arahi ki te pono katoa, Whakaakona koe, whakatika koe. Tukua koe ki te Wairua Tapu, whakarongo ki a ia, and work together with Him. Only then shall you grow up, a haere ano he tama na te Atua.
‘Hei tote mo te whenua’
