The promised Holy Spirit’s marking as a heavenly seal is typically manifested through the sudden, involuntary appearance of one or more miraculous gifts—often prophetic, mystical, or revelatory—such as tongues, prophecy, or interpretation of tongues. The event is generally witnessed by a congregation or a significant spiritual leader, such as a senior elder, especially during services, baptisms, or confirmations when hands may be laid on the believer or group of believers. The marking signifies the recipient's entry into the mystical body of Christ and is marked by a divine confirmation. It cannot be achieved by human means alone; it is a manifest act of holy heaven. (For some, unusually, the Holy Spirit actually visibly rests upon them in a prophetic sign-like form.)
If there is a human construct, an artificial imitation of the true, heavenly-sealed body of Christ, it is not entry into the genuine body of Christ. Without the heavenly marking, or sealing, by the Holy Spirit, entry into the body of Christ cannot be authentically claimed.
Scriptures, such as the New Testament epistles and the Book of Revelation, are directed toward the true body of Christ. If a person lacks this mark, this sealing by the Holy Spirit, it could suggest they do not fully believe that Christ is the Son, the light sent by God. It may indicate they have not truly received or believed in the gospel of truth, or that, despite believing, they have not adhered to Jesus’ teachings. Those who have genuinely believed in Jesus Christ and the message of truth are marked with the promised Holy Spirit. Some may await the laying on of hands by one through whom this marking is imparted, or they may be earnestly praying for the Holy Spirit’s gift.
The gospel—the message of truth—is that Christ died on the cross for your reconciliation with the Father, who raised him from the dead. Jesus Christ lives forever.
Those marked with the seal which is the promised Holy Spirit are one body in Christ, and Christ’s just governance begins once they are living in obedience.
If you are marked with the seal which is the promised Holy Spirit and have received miraculous gifts, remember that Jesus is the great fountain from which your gifts flow. He is the greater fountain. You are a fountain too. Allow the living water of the Holy Spirit to flow from you to bless others.
If you are marked with the seal which is the promised Holy Spirit, the coming Day of Redemption is for you. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit.
If you are marked with the seal which is the promised Holy Spirit, you now serve the Lord Jesus, and he desires to reveal future things to you. The Book of Revelation is a divine gift from God, given to Jesus to show these things to his servants. The New Testament epistles, preserved for the church, also guide you in understanding your position in the Lord Jesus Christ as part of his body.
