Transcript
-
Hi, and welcome to the, we are Zion sermon podcast.
-
We are a local church based here in Chennai, India, we are so
-
glad you are with us and hope that this will encourage
-
Inspire, and in still, fresh faith, in you as we celebrate
-
the day of Pentecost, we invite you into a time of meditating on
-
the Holy Spirit. We often look for breakthrough
-
through a massive Life-altering moment.
-
But most often breakthrough comes to the ongoing work of the
-
holy spirit in our everyday lives.
-
How committed are we to Opening Our Lives to the holy spirit so
-
that he can make us more like Jesus will you invite him in and
-
give him room? Hi church.
-
It's a joy and a privilege that I get to stand here and minister
-
to you, even as we take some time to get into God's word, I
-
believe over the last two weeks, as we've been seeing about the
-
Holy Spirit as the fire and as the wind, I believe he's been
-
doing something the entire world celebrates Pentecost Sunday
-
today and even as we take some time to look back at what
-
happened in the upper room, where Disciples of eating.
-
I believe God has a word for us where he wants us to rely on
-
him. He wants us to know that he is
-
for us, many times. You fail to understand that the
-
spirit that works in and through us is for us and we always as
-
you know, over the last two weeks we saw he shapes us with
-
the wind, he moves, he removes all the old and he no breaks in
-
the new. He makes us comfortable in who
-
he's calling us to be. B, and I loved how Jaron brought
-
about the whole thing of, you know, the perfect love and
-
perfect Community exists within the Triune God, he talked about
-
the father Son and the Holy Spirit and how they, three
-
coexist together in perfect. Unity, there's no hierarchy
-
there. And as we were looking at that,
-
we also saw that we as a community have to live that way,
-
but there's no hierarchy, we all are the same till we see.
-
Jesus face to face. And so today, even as we go into
-
the third part, today's title is Spirit breakthrough.
-
I believe, as a church, we will experience the Holy Spirit
-
breaking through as the word that God gave us.
-
As we started this month was breakthrough and I believe he
-
wants to move in us. He wants to move ahead of us.
-
A lot of times, we fail to understand that, you know what,
-
when the spirit breaks through, he's the one who's going front.
-
He's the one who's leading us and so today as we celebrate the
-
day of Pentecost, you know, ten years from now, it's going to be
-
two thousand years since the world experienced the day of
-
Pentecost together. It's a day when every language
-
every tried had access to the gospel.
-
By the Holy Spirit, came upon those 120 there, and they were
-
able to shed. And today, we are all Witnesses
-
of that. We all believe in Jesus as the
-
true and living King. And I want to come today to a
-
place where we will not live another day.
-
Without the Holy Spirit. I was reading through some of
-
the notes of Reinhard bonnke, and he is passionate about the
-
Holy Spirit. And he constantly says, if Jesus
-
needed the Holy Spirit, Jesus was conceived by the Holy
-
Spirit. Even when he became a man and
-
when he went to John the Baptist seven, he got baptized in the
-
Holy Spirit, came on him like a dove.
-
And when he came on him, like a doubt, it is from then on, he
-
was able to Minister in the power of the Holy Spirit.
-
Perfect man. Lead it the Holy Spirit
-
imperfect man. Desperately needs the Holy
-
Spirit. You and I are not exempt from
-
Not Having the Holy Spirit work in and through us.
-
So even right now I just want to read Acts chapter 2 verses 1 to
-
4 and then we will go into the main scripture that we've taken
-
for today's passage acts to was his 124 in.
-
This is what it says, when the day of Pentecost came, they were
-
all together in one. Please suddenly a sound like the
-
blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole
-
house where they were sitting, they saw what seemed to be
-
tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of
-
them. All of them were filled with the
-
Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the spirit
-
enabled them. The holy spirit is for all.
-
If there's one thing I want you to get disease for all, he's not
-
for a select few. So today, as a church, our
-
desire is that the Holy Spirit Will fall on each and every one
-
of us. He saw that the fire came
-
specifically on each and every one who has heated them and my
-
prayer is that even as you're watching this or listening to
-
this, you know, a week later or a year later of whenever that
-
you will experience the Holy Spirit Come of fresh right now
-
on you, you know, many times you scared by the manifestation of
-
the holy spirit in and through us that causes us to resist him
-
that, you know, pop culture has shown you know what?
-
Have what been filled with the Holy Spirit.
-
Have, you know, really done. But even as we heard in the last
-
two weeks and then, as we hear this week, my references to
-
water liking the Holy Spirit to water, and you will see that
-
it's in that controlled manner of the holy spirit that it is
-
the most powerful last week even when Jeremy was talking, he said
-
those controlled Flames. Do you lot of good?
-
They bring about purity and I believe Eve.
-
That's a mark of the Holy Spirit as much as he falls on everyone
-
as much as there's a Revival as much as there's you know, people
-
speaking out in different tongues, May that not scare us
-
but may this Draught closer because we need and more than
-
ever before. So even as I said today, I'm
-
referencing the Holy Spirit to water like believe, you know,
-
for a lot of us we've seen what water looks like.
-
It's nice to sit in the beach here.
-
The waves in the living room motion.
-
Come or probably by a lake, which is quiet and just see the
-
calmness of it. But there's this other side, I
-
used to watch these shows or Nancy over these guys were in
-
these Waters which was so, you know, trouble than, you know,
-
literally and they were like fishing crab and doing things
-
like that water can be merciless at the same time.
-
What water can be coming? And I believe one of the fastest
-
of the holy spirit is he's also mausolus.
-
He doesn't like Injustice within his people, especially when
-
those who accepted him, he doesn't love the fact that, you
-
know, we indulge in other things and you know, negate the fact
-
that he is residing in us. That's why it says constantly.
-
You know, Paul writes your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit.
-
When we are marked by a savior. When we've been bought by a
-
precious price. The room that the Holy Spirit
-
resides in his holy And so today this Holy Spirit wants to do
-
something in and through US. Aw Tozer sees this matter bumps
-
against other matter and stops. It cannot penetrate Spirit can
-
penetrate everything. The Holy Spirit.
-
Can penetrate everything John chapter 7 which is our reference
John 7 chapter mention
-
passage for today. Goes on to say was is 37 to 39
-
on the last and the greatest day of the festival.
-
Jesus stood and said in a loud voice.
-
Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink whoever believes
-
in A scripture said, rivers of Living Water will flow from
-
within them by this. He meant the spirit whom those
-
who believed in him were later to receive up to that time.
-
The spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been
-
glorified. And so, Jesus is standing here
-
at the temple. And even as we read, what the
-
historians say, the practice of the Jewish priests, at that
-
time, where they used to go and fetch water in a golden pitch
-
up. From the gihon spring and as he
-
fixed it, they do walk all the way up.
-
They will come with that picture and on the back of the
-
Watergate. They would bring it to the Altar
-
and they would pour it. They did this seven days on the
-
seventh day, they did seven times and the, our prayer was
-
God as Autumn comes. Maybe not have Draught bring
-
rain. And the second thing is they
-
remembered that God provided water, even in the desert, and
-
this is where Jesus is telling them.
-
As much as you do this physically, you need to do this
-
spiritual, you need to long for the water that can come from me
-
the Living Water. It's today, the holy spirit is
-
likened to a living water because in this day that we are
-
living in, there are so many areas in our life that we need
-
the Holy Spirit. And I believe some of the
-
characteristics of though of water that we see some of the
-
characteristics of the spirit PC, as we are referencing both
-
together. We will see that He is wanting
-
to do, Great and Mighty things. So today if you notice one
-
thing, the Jews had unbelief even as Jesus spoke and I want
-
us to emphasize on that because a lot of us today carry on me
-
for my first point today. The spirit breaks through every
-
unbelief, the spirit breaks through every unbelief, even as
-
Jesus was standing there and actually telling living Water
-
many question them, many didn't understand, but I believe
-
unbelief cannot be a part if we need to see the spirit
-
breakthrough. Today I have unbelief, I'm
-
raising my hand here. I have unbelief.
-
I have unbelief over the work that I do.
-
I sometimes have unbelief over the way.
-
I do certain things, I am unable to see God at work.
-
And even as a Christ, follower unbelief, creeps him because of
-
faith is constantly tested. And so today, can we move to a
-
place and say, holy spirit? Would you come through and break
-
every unbelief? I don't know what your unbelief
-
is. Probably.
-
It's your unbelief. Is because, you know what?
-
I will never have a good marriage because the first time
-
I got married, my spouse walked out on me.
-
Oh, probably. I've been cheated or a Single,
-
you're feeling everything. Good is happening for everyone,
-
but what is it that's happening for me more than believing and
-
having faith in you unbelief is certain Unbelief can only be
-
changed with the Holy Spirit breaks through that Isaiah 55.
-
Verse is one. In fact, we want to reference a
-
couple of verses from Isaiah 55. And this is what it says, here.
-
We see the entire unbelief change to belief and God tells
-
his people come. All you are thirsty.
-
Come to the waters and you have no money.
-
Come, buy and eat, come buy wine and milk without money and
-
without cost. And verse 6 goes on to say Seek
-
the Lord, while he may be found call on him.
-
While he is near was his 89 which lot of us know.
-
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither am.
-
I ways your ways declares the Lord as the heavens are higher
-
than the earth. So are my ways higher than your
-
ways and my thoughts than your thoughts, the spirit of unbelief
-
exists, because our thoughts are not aligned with God's thoughts.
-
And honestly, I've seen that time and again, back in 2014, I
-
still remember after viewing, the situation to make a decision
-
or whether to come back to India.
-
And if you come back to India, where do we go?
-
And we wrestled with that decision for three months,
-
praying about it and asking God, but we have to come to a place
-
of realizing Holy Spirit, you lead us and you know many years
-
after that I kept thinking, you know what 2015 was a very
-
challenging Year, God was it a year that there?
-
Is a mistake that I did, you know, unbelief set in God,
-
probably you allowed one year, one year didn't go as planned
-
according to your timeline. But God constantly reminded it's
-
in that one year, I actually broke through a lot of your
-
unbelief. It's in that one year, I was
-
prepping you for actually planting a church.
-
It was in that one year where I was setting you up to realize
-
that your call is far bigger. For Spirit to break through.
-
It says, you come and drink teasing, you don't need
-
anything. You don't need to give me
-
anything. You don't have to have money to,
-
you know, have access to this. You have access to this because
-
you have accepted Jesus Christ as your lord and personal
-
savior. So today what is your unbelief
-
that is right there in the Forefront?
-
Would you in faith? You know, declare it saying,
-
Spirit, Holy Spirit. I ask that you would break
-
through that unbelief, and would you move ahead?
-
So that I will see you move through?
-
A lot of us are struggling with unbelief.
-
We as Christ followers can struggle with unbelief, but
-
that's not permanent because the Holy Spirit resides in us.
-
I want to take an instance of what happened in Mark and let's
-
read that. Mark chapter 16 and this is what
Mark 16 chapter mention
-
it says. Now when he rose early on the
-
first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene
-
from whom. He had cast out seven demons,
-
she went and told those who had been with him as they mourned.
-
Admit. But when they heard that he was
-
alive and had been seen by her, they would not believe it.
-
After these things, he appeared in another form to two of them
-
as they were walking into the country.
-
And they went back and told the rest, but they did not believe
-
them. Afterward, he appeared to the
-
eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table and he
-
rebuked them for their unbelief and Hardness of Heart because
-
they had not believed those who saw him after he had risen.
-
He said to them, go into all the world and preach the gospel to
-
all You should whoever believes and is baptized will be saved,
-
but whoever does not believe will be condemned, and these
-
signs will accompany those who believe in my name, they will
-
drive out demons. They will speak in new tongues,
-
they will pick up snakes and we are happy with your hands.
-
And when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at
-
all. They will place their hands on
-
sick people and they will get well.
-
So, the Lord Jesus after he had spoken to them, was taken up
-
into heaven and sat down. The right hand of God and was 20
-
says and they went out and preached everywhere.
-
The Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by
-
accompanying signs. So what we see here from Mark
-
chapter 16, verses 912, the way to 19 is to from from Mark
-
16:9-20 mean, is unbelief that are instances where the
-
disciples had unbelief that. They didn't believe that Jesus
-
had risen, but something flipped between 19 and 20 and
-
chronologically acts to happen that Acts to happen that.
-
And when the Holy Spirit came, he broke through every unbelief
-
and set them free to believe that Jesus is Alive.
-
And he's called them to do. Great, and Mighty things, many a
-
times. We emphasize a lot on the Great
-
Commission during Pentecost Sunday and even in fact, I'm
-
going to talk about it, but the Great Commission will never see
-
the light of day if you have unbelief in a heart, So today,
-
if God's not called a few God's not called a select theologians
-
to go and do his work, but a select few who have a burden,
-
know he's called each and every one who believes in his game.
-
How they actually fulfill. The Great Commission is
-
different, but what the Holy Spirit wants to do is he wants
-
to break through every unbelief so that you will believe
-
wholeheartedly in the god who's called you so today.
-
Can we ask for the Holy Spirit to turn our unbelief?
-
Many times? Our unbelief is because of the
-
way we've been brought up or probably we are seeing so many
-
things today, we are in an information overload today.
-
It Instagram when we look at things it's or any other social
-
media is people's opinions and sometimes that ways as down.
-
But can we come to a place to say?
-
God I believe in you, no matter what, whatever picture I see,
-
whatever, you know, the way in which people portray themselves
-
and their lives. Look like I want to trust that
-
you have the best in store for me, because God wants the best
-
to happen for us, and he can only happen when the do not have
-
unbelief in our hearts. The Holy Spirit has to break
-
through every unbelief, so which means for your marriage for
-
your. So for those of you who've been,
-
Wanting to have a child. For those of you who've been
-
wanting to have their financial breakthrough.
-
For those of you who've had that rocky relationship with your
-
parents. For those of you who've been
-
failing to see God's plan and in through your life, ever since
-
you accepted Jesus Christ, would you allow the Holy Spirit to
-
come in and change that unbelief to belief when we allow the Holy
-
Spirit to break through our unbelief?
-
We are only able to see things his way.
-
We are able to see things. So, that's the, as I read from
-
Isaiah, his ways become our ways.
-
His thoughts, become our thoughts.
-
We suddenly acquired, we don't have to retaliate.
-
We suddenly are like, you know what?
-
God, I Believe In You, hardships will come.
-
And in fact, as we read in Mark we see people are offering.
-
Poison, people are offering things but nothing harm them.
-
I was listening to a preacher the other day and he said lies
-
always has an expiry date. How many allows the spirit to
-
break through? I believe truth will prevail at
-
the end. The second thing that we see the
-
Holy Spirit breakthrough is that he breaks through every
-
stronghold. I don't know how many of you are
-
actually have experienced this, but there's no stronghold.
-
That's big enough that's tall enough that's wide enough for
-
the Holy Spirit to penetrate you know God talks to Jeremiah in,
-
Jeremiah 30 and tells him to Write this down.
-
This is where God steps in and says that, he will set his
-
people free. You're going to be looking
-
through some other verses, from Jeremiah chapter 30 and this is
Jeremiah 30 chapter mention
-
where Jeremiah hears from God as to what God has to say.
-
Forest, people know stronghold is strong enough for the Holy
-
Spirit to contest. Just a week back.
-
I was at theorem OT Dam. And we were there for some work.
-
And as we were standing by the dam, the Gates of the diameter,
-
you know, they have those huge hydraulic pipes, which allow
-
water to come through and you can see the big difference is
-
Stronghold is the damn. It's holding the water back but
-
if you look at this place the place outside you can see it's
-
dry trees are shriveled trunks of Fallen.
-
You know, there's this dryness and baroness have dealer.
-
And as I Was preparing God Is reminding me of that?
-
Same place where I stood, I was taking some pictures that if you
-
allow my spirit to break through I can break through every
-
stronghold. A lot of times we today has his
-
followers have become so comfortable with the stronghold
-
that we are walking around it that we've allowed it to exist.
-
And we are moving around, we are okay with the baroness.
-
We are okay. With the dryness because we're
-
able to, you know, somehow make it through, be able to portray,
-
we can like Take good pictures and put it out there.
-
We can show ourselves like everything is going right.
-
But the dryness, the baroness the way that we walk around
-
these strongholds is not how we are intended to live.
-
If you have the Holy Spirit in and reverse to take it further,
-
a lot of us are comfortable living with the trickling that
-
comes from these dams. Water tends to leak.
-
You're happy with that. So we come on a Sunday, they're
-
like, you know what, I've got a wet my lips with the Holy
-
Spirit. And so now I can go back and
-
manage my week. But God reminded me as I was
-
standing there as if you allow the Holy Spirit to come in, he
-
will open that hydraulic pipe fully.
-
He will allow the water to gush out to remove to break every
-
stronghold to make sure that every form of stronger that is
-
there will be broken. And today we don't have to live
-
around a stronghold or with a stronghold we can live without a
-
struggle because a spirit can break through and make that
-
nothing even last week as Tina was talking about I was talking
-
with spiritual warfare and I believe the spirit has to break
-
through every stronghold. She was talking to a bunch of
-
youngsters from the zero conference and she was
-
challenging them by the story that she came across, but a
-
father and mother loved their son so much.
-
But then when he was in a self discovery phase at 17, 18 got
-
addicted to drugs. The heart was broken and heavy
-
because they knew the purpose that God had for him.
-
But then here he is. Is wasting his life by being
-
high and just, you know, unable to do anything with his life.
-
When they prayed, they were reminded of the fact that you
-
know what the days when the spirit moved people used him in
-
handkerchiefs to actually ask Paul and Peter to pray over it
-
and they use that to bring healing and to bring to make
-
sure Demons free. So his parents prayed on a piece
-
of cloth and they sued it into his wallet.
-
It fast forward down the line, six months later, he's given up
-
drugs, he's become clean goes into Seminary, accepts Jesus and
-
us today doing powerful Ministry.
-
When the spirit decides to break through when we allow him, he's
-
always ready to set us free. The beautiful thing about the
-
Holy Spirit is he doesn't want us to carry and yoke.
-
He says, allow me so I can Break Free, Break, everything, set you
-
guys free so that you'll be able to do far bigger things.
-
And so today, what is the Breakthrough that we need the
-
Breakthrough? Probably that we need the.
-
Holy spirit is present as much as I said in the water in the
-
dam. The water is present, but we
-
control the valve. We control how much of the Holy
-
Spirit real love. So today, if your marriage is
-
looking dull and you started looking at The Greener patches
-
of other people's marriage and you know, longing for something
-
else. I love the Holy Spirit to break
-
through that stronghold. Are you hooked on?
-
To something where you're you're, you're secretly doing
-
it. That you're like, you know what,
-
this just gives me my own kind of thing, but God wants to set
-
you free because at the end of it guilt and shame doesn't have
-
to become a stronghold. We indulging in something six
-
days a week and then coming here in this, you know, getting a
-
drip of the Holy Spirit and saying, you know what, and I'm
-
happy and content know. He wants to break through.
-
Would you I love the Holy Spirit to break through in Jeremiah 30
-
was eaten. And as I said earlier, this is
-
what God says. In that day, declares the Lord
-
Almighty, I will break the Yoke of their necks and we'll tear of
-
their bonds. No longer will foreigners
-
enslave them. Instead they will serve the Lord
-
their God and David, their King whom I will raise up for them.
-
So today as is was says, God was talking to the people of Israel
-
setting them free. I believe.
-
God is also saying I am willing to set you free today.
-
Whatever that yoke is be the Yoke of drugs, alcohol, sex
-
addiction, whatever it is. Be it the bonds that you formed
-
by texting someone privately and doing things or certain ways.
-
The holy spirit is willing to break through that stronghold.
-
Would you commit? It so that that yoke can be
-
broken so that you don't have to carry that yolk as a burden, you
-
don't have to live with the guilt and the shame that comes
-
with that. Aw Tozer says this, the most
-
menial tasks can become a Priestly ministration.
-
When the Holy Spirit takes over and Christ becomes your.
-
All in all, as I said earlier, the day of Pentecost, 120 Old
-
120 received the baptism of the Holy Spirit by fire and I
-
believe Everyone. You can be a single person, a
-
married person or video, you could be a person with the job
-
without a job. Anything and everything you do
-
will be heavily please. 3 ministration because you have
-
the Holy Spirit in and through you nothing you have to take it
-
lightly. You don't have to carry that
-
burden and walk with that. So today, can we ask the Holy
-
Spirit to come in and work in and through our lives?
-
So that he can break through every stronghold for some of us
-
it's probably is generational strongholds but we've seen a
-
family line be in debt after debt it stops now but you're
-
saying Holy Spirit. I commit the space and I want
-
you to come into this particular situation today.
-
Probably a seeing things happen in your life time and time.
-
And again and I Leave. Sometimes that's because a
-
stronghold is still there and the Holy Spirit is saying I am
-
willing to break that stronghold because of your anger, probably,
-
you've seen so many things disintegrate and the Holy Spirit
-
is saying I can come and make a difference.
-
Would you allow of me to come into your life so that I can
-
bring about a breakthrough in your life?
-
So that the strongholds can break.
-
The third thing, as we saw the first thing was he breaks
-
through every unbelief. The second thing we saw is he
-
breaks through every stronghold. And the third thing is, he can
-
break through every circumstance, Isaiah 44:6 to 24.
-
This is what the Lord says. He who made you who formed you
-
in the womb and who will help you do not be afraid.
-
Jacob, my servant jeshurun whom I have chosen for.
-
I will pour water on the Thirsty land and streams on the dry
-
ground. I will pour out my spirit on
-
your Offspring and my blessing on your descendants.
-
They will spring up like grass in a meadow like Poplar piece by
-
flowing streams and I want us to look at verse 3.
-
It says here for I will pour water on the Thirsty land and
-
streams on dry ground. The spirit can break through
-
every circumstance today. A lot of us have determined our
-
spiritual walk by our circumstances.
-
Oh God, I can get this breakthrough.
-
So I think, you know, you don't exist or God.
-
Think, you know what? This particular circumstances
-
the the the abuse that I've gone through is become my identity.
-
No, he can turn even the abuse around.
-
You probably have not seen a good relationship in your life.
-
And so probably are thinking, you know, this is my fate in
-
life. No, he can bring about streams
-
on dry ground. What does that look like?
-
That looks like you're in a desert and there's an oasis
-
right there. He can make you flourish in dry
-
places. He can make you sustain and do
-
good and look good in dry places.
-
He will make sure that your head is not put to shame that you can
-
lift your head up in dry places. The spirit is willing to break
-
through every circumstance. That's where we believe in the
-
miraculous work of God, that's where we believe in what God can
-
do in and through us. That's why we believe that.
-
Jesus is Way is what I need to follow.
-
So today I want to ask each and every one of you.
-
What is your dry ground? What is your dry graph that
-
you're failing to? Ask the Holy Spirit to come and
-
break through? You know, sometimes there is a
-
sense of us tilling ground so that it can flourish and it can
-
give us fruit and it can give us a harvest.
-
God says he blessed the work of our hands but many a times.
-
We are unable to see that happen.
-
Circumstance of the circumstance.
-
The Bible says, in the Bible has a verse where it says our
-
pockets are like those, which have holes where money.
-
This doesn't stay, just goes out.
-
And probably, that seems you like your life?
-
You're unable to see him as a provider.
-
Wider. And so often your circumstances
-
are causing you to put your head in shame in front of others or
-
probably health-wise. You've been going through one
-
illness after the other or in your house someone and the
-
others falling sick and it's just weighing on.
-
You would you ask the Holy Spirit to break through?
-
He can break through, he could refresh you in that dry ground.
-
For those of you who are going through terminal illness, I'm
-
praying specifically that the Holy Spirit would come in in
-
that dry air. Right out at DealeXtreme in that
-
stream, you will see flourishing happen in that stream, you will
-
see growth happen in that stream, that flows from him from
-
his Mountain, you will see life that comes in and many a times
-
the life that we are trying to orchestrate.
-
And make sure is more physical, but the spirit gives about a
-
freedom that is beyond our physical.
-
Our spirit man is set free. Our spirit man is, you know, No,
-
the no longer bound, there are no more shackles and he wants us
-
to move to a place of experiencing that breakthrough
-
from unbelief. He wants us to experience at
-
breakthrough from every stronghold and he wants us to
-
experience that breakthrough from every circumstance.
-
As I said earlier, in 2015 I felt that year was wasted but
-
God said no. To you.
-
It look like dry ground but in that dry ground, I still had my
-
provision in there. I still was like a stream, I
-
still built you and your family up and it's amazing that and I'm
-
after tank Google photos for that.
-
Like when it pulls back, you know, nine years back or eight
-
years back and able to look back and see it now through the lens
-
of what God wants me to see it through.
-
Some never discount your circumstances.
-
God has something big in store for you.
-
Even as I said, today's Pentecost Sunday, I believe the
-
Book of Acts constantly talks of the spirit breaking through
-
everything, breaking through religious mindset, breaking
-
through the understanding of legalizing, everything breaking
-
through, you know, the the way in, which they are confining the
-
Holy Spirit and not allowing him to operate.
-
And I want to read acts once was a 7 to 8 because I believe each
-
of us need the Holy Spirit and I want to play at the end of the
-
day. We all will be able to receive a
-
fresh anointing of fresh breakthrough of the Holy Spirit
-
In Our Lives. Acts 1, verse 27. 28 says this,
-
he said to them, it's not for you to know the times or dates,
-
the father has set by his own authority, but you will receive
-
power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my
-
Witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the
-
ends of the Earth. It says here, when the Holy
-
Spirit comes on you, you will be my Witnesses.
-
Today, God has given each of us. A Jerusalem to be a witness, a
-
Judea to be a witness and the Samaria, and I believe in due
-
time. He today with, with the way
-
technology is, I believe the ends of the Earth is just, the
-
is an understatement. And so today can be come to a
-
place of saying, God, I want to be part of this Great
-
Commission. I don't want to be part of it in
-
My Own Strength, but I want your Holy Spirit to work in and
-
through me. You know, one of the things
-
which came to my mind when I was talking about, the Great
-
Commission, was this huge picture?
-
Which was at, like, I don't know how many a big puzzle piece and
-
if you see puzzle pieces, they all are of the same size.
-
And each of us play A Part, each of us get that same kind of
-
anointing from the Holy Spirit. There's no measure that he says,
-
you know what, if you do this I'll do that.
-
No, he's unique. A God, who has created eight
-
billion? People uniquely is also willing
-
to fill us uniquely. And so if we can come to a place
-
of understanding and seeing that Spirit, would you break out
-
Spirit? Would you break through Spirit?
-
Would you allow me to identify? What you've placed me here for?
-
Because when we allow the Holy Spirit to break through every
-
desire that we have will soon be comfortable in what he wants us
-
to do and suddenly this Great Commission just becomes a way of
-
life. And so we will realize that this
-
puzzle is a bigger piece. In God's kingdom, and I have to
-
do my part, I need to be faithful.
-
And we just had Pastor Timothy Keller passed away last week and
-
I was just reading up a lot of Articles and I thank God that
-
you know, he finished. Well, he led his life by example
-
and I believe that's a challenge for each and every one of us
-
that we won't allow the pleasure of this world to cause us to go
-
away from God, but rather come to him every step of the way
-
that no matter what, we will look at finishing, well, because
-
if you can finish, well, we've Repeated are part of the puzzle
-
and his work continues on. And even before I close, I just
-
want to read a verse from Joel 3:18.
-
In that day, the mountains will drip new wine and the hills will
-
flow with milk or there are wines of Judah will run with
-
water of Fountain, will flow to the Lord's house and we water
-
the valley of a Cassius. Today church, if we do not allow
-
the spirit to break through in us, he cannot flow in and
-
through us, we will become that barrier.
-
We will become the gatekeeper and saying God, this is not for
-
me. But if let's say the church, all
-
of us agree and make that up prayer and say, God I want the
-
Holy Spirit to break through break through my unbelief.
-
Whatever asserted in 30, 40 Years of an biggest breakthrough
-
breakthrough, every circumstance.
-
Slot that my understanding of faith will not be determined by
-
my circumstance. And also that I wouldn't allow
-
any stronghold to be there and for the Holy Spirit to work
-
around that but rather let the Holy Spirit Break that and take
-
it away. Because What flows from the
-
church, What flows from his people is what we gather the
-
hurting the longing, the Desiring, the people who want to
-
love into his fold. Today, if we have to live out
-
the Great Commission, we cannot live it out until we've allowed
-
the spirit to break through in US.
-
So Church even has a close if you don't receive the Holy
-
Spirit, but probably you're scared or you're having a biases
-
because of denominational things, or whatever.
-
Would you just come to a place of understanding that the holy
-
spirit is an intricate part of the Triune God?
-
He is an equal with the father Son and the Holy Spirit, they
-
all are together and me need. I would ask that he would break
-
through every ideology, every everything that's holding you
-
back and that you would receive him that, as you receive him,
-
you'll be able to see his work in and through your life.
-
So can we pray, our loving Heavenly Father Lord, we thank
-
you Lord for this time. Thank you Lord, for blessing us
-
that Jesus today and even right, download as we called your word,
-
I just pray over our church. Lord Jesus, that we will all
-
long for the Holy Spirit. I pray.
-
Not for those who are listening right now.
-
Lord Jesus, who are watching this or even.
-
In this later, I pray that God they will experience the fire
-
that came down in the upper room.
-
Lord Jesus. I pray even right now they will
-
experience a unique fire that they wouldn't rely on someone
-
else's fire. They won't think about others
-
and not compare but they would ask you for your own anointing
-
specifically not and even as we heard from your word that you
-
would break through every circumstance, you would break
-
through every unbelief you would break through every stronghold.
-
I pray that your You'll experience Freedom.
-
It is for Freedom that you have set us free, Lord Jesus.
-
And I pray that what we come to a place that we will allow you
-
to work in and through us that we will not be bound by a fear
-
as we won't be bound by a circumstances.
-
You won't be bound by a strong pulse.
-
I pray. Holy Spirit.
-
Would you move in and through each and every one right now, I
-
Pray by healing is needed. You would bring about healing.
-
Restoration is read at Holy Spirit, bring about restoration.
-
I pray. Holy Spirit.
-
Would you break out the old and break in the new Lord?
-
Jesus. We thank you.
-
We thank you. Lord.
-
Would you come into each and every one of our Lives?
-
Lord, Holy Spirit, have your way.
-
We don't want yesterday's anointing.
-
We want a fresh anointing today. Lord, Jesus.
-
Who do you come down on each and every one a follows.
-
God be with With us and bless us.
-
I pray specifically lot that you bless each and every one list,
-
the work of your hands, bless them to get going out and
-
coming. You bless the food and water of
-
home. I pray, Lord, the your homes
-
will be blessed the doorpost of their houses will have love or
-
Joy or Peace. So, that whoever walks in and
-
walks of life experience, you wholeheartedly not Jesus, we
-
thank you. Be glorified and honored your
-
most holy name we pray. Amen.
-
Amen. So Church even as we celebrate
-
Pentecost, suddenly Desire for the Holy Spirit.
-
May he become part and parcel of your life, may he do far bigger
-
things than what you can imagine because I believe when he starts
-
doing all this work in and through us, he will shape us to
-
be his vessel. And soon the Great Commission
-
will just be part and parcel of country, we will be his
-
testimony wherever he takes us wherever he places us.
-
Wherever he causes us to be his night.
-
I pray for his piece. Is joy and is favored over you.
-
God bless you all and have of this.
