Suddenly | Pr Ronson

You're listening to a message to go from Acts Church.

We hope this message will light up your day.

In Acts chapter 2, verses 1 to 4, it was

Acts 2:1–4

a grand entry of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus promised us His Holy Spirit. Yesu, He has come

to meet us and said that the Holy.

Spirit will come.

And today, if you are a believer, you have surrendered

your heart to Jesus wholeheartedly. The Scripture says that the

Spirit of God will come and dwell with you.

If you are a Christian, and you have come with

all your heart and soul, and you have entrusted your

life to Him, the Bible also says that the Holy

Spirit will dwell with you.

The Bible also says that our body is the temple

of the Holy Spirit.

And the Spirit of God is very precious.

In the Old Testament, we know that the Spirit of

God was only given to appointed people of God.

It was given to prophets. It was given to kings.

It was given to people that God chose us for

a specific purpose. But with the death of.

And the ascension of Jesus.

He told the disciples.

That it is to your advantage that I go away,

for if I don't go away, the Spirit of God

will not come.

So when Jesus was ascended right now, seated at the

right hand of the Father, in the seating for you

and me, the Spirit of God is in you. I

get very touched when I think about these things. It

shows that you and I are precious in the sight

of God. That he could have chose for his spirit

to dwell in any places.

But he chose you. redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus,

that's the primary focus, that His blood redeemed you.

His blood is also precious.

Because He has redeemed you, He then filled you with

His Spirit. Some of you who believe in Jesus and

those of you who will one day believe in Jesus,

you are precious.

All of you are precious.

那所以如果你是已经相信了主耶稣基督 或者是未来你会要来去相信主耶稣基督呢 你在神的面前是非常的宝贵的 So next chapter 2 verse 1 it

says When the day of the Pentecost had fully come

They were all in one accord and in one place

使徒行传第二章一节说到呢 五旬节到了门徒都聚集在一处 And suddenly 不然 There came a sound from

heaven and of a rushing mighty wind And it.

Filled the whole house where they were sitting.

Then there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire,

and one sat upon each of them. And they were

all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak

with other.

Tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. 他们就都被圣灵充满, 按着圣灵所赐的口才说起别国的话来。 So

we know that the disciples were commanded by Jesus himself

to tarry in the city of Jerusalem until they are

endued with power from on high.

我们也知道耶稣有吩咐他的门徒们要逗留在耶路撒冷里面来去等候, 直到从天上而来的这个灵来去临到。 Jesus did not give them a date and

a time.

耶稣他没有来去和他们说一个指定的日期和时间。 To say that on 24th April, 没有说到4月24号, at 9am.

在晚上9点, 早上, the Holy Spirit will come.

圣灵就会来。 The only commandment Jesus gave them was wait.

耶稣唯有给的这个命令就是要等候。 Not just that, wait until.

而是等候直到。 A sentence that many of us, we are waiting

for something.

我感受到这里很多人都在等待还有等候一样事情。 We are waiting for a breakthrough. 我们在等候着一个突破领导。 We are

waiting for an answer. 我们在等候要领受一个答案。 We are waiting for an

open door. 我们要来去等候一个为我们开的门。 I want to prophesy over every one

of us.

我要来去宣告于这里每一个人。 That the time of suddenly will come. And when

it comes, there's no stopping. It will come in a

spectacular way.

Often, waiting is one of the most hardest thing to do.

Especially when there's no timeline. I guess when there's a timeline, it's.

Easier to wait Because you know the day will come.

But when you're told by God to wait And He

doesn't give you a timeline It only means one thing

That we should always cast our focus on Him.

No matter how difficult it is You see, one of

the things that we often feel challenged.

In is that we live in a world where we

want everything fast. Today, you call your Grab, you expect

your Grab to be fast. You want to watch video?

Last time we can five minutes watch video.

Now we watch reels. Few seconds.

But we want things.

To be fast. But the kingdom of God doesn't operate.

In the timeline of man.

他不会是以人类的这个时间表来去运行。 The kingdom of God operates in his timeline. 神的国度是以神的这个时间表来进行的。

And I want everyone of us here to remember that.

我要这里每一个人都记得。 God's timeline is not man's timeline.

神的时间不是人的时间。 And often we want God to fit into our timeline.

可是很多时候我们就要让神来去走在我们指定的时间里。 If you're in a place where you're waiting for.

God, cast your eyes on Him. God will give you

your suddenly moment. The Holy Spirit will come.

Wait for Him. The word suddenly also means 那个忽然的意思呢也表达着呢 It

is a form of acceleration 是一个急速的这个时间 It's a time of

shortening 是一个急速的 In other words, when God comes into the

picture 就是说神他来到的时候 Whatever things that you think you need X

amount of time to do 就比如说呢你觉得你需要一个特定的这个时间呢.

He can do it for you in that one day 他可以很快的来去帮助你.

He can do it for you in that one hour

他可以一个小时就帮助你 It's like one of my weak point is worry.

我自己本身就有一个缺点就是担忧。 Sometimes I get worried a lot. 我就是很多时候都在担忧。 And it

affects me emotionally.

然后也会影响到我的情绪。 But whenever the Spirit of God comes, 可是当神的灵来到的时候, He

brings that clarity. 他就给了我一个清晰的思维。 That sometimes we can be worried

even about work challenges that we cannot solve. 有那时候我们也会为着我们不能够去解决的事情来去忧虑。 Or

we get worried about the assignment that we cannot solve.

又或者是我们忧虑于一些我们要做的功课是没有办法来去做到的。 You calculate your maths. 你算, 就是你去用数学来去算出来。 You land it with

an answer.

然后你就有一个答案。 You calculate again, it landed in a different answer.

然後你再算又去到一個不同的答案。 Then you call your friend, your friend say another answer.

然後你打給你的朋友, 朋友跟你說那個答案是另一個。 You don't know what's the answer.

Now this is before AI, okay? I know you're all

very smart one. Nowadays you just plug into AI and AI.

那現在有就是這個智能嘛, 人空的智能。 這以前是沒有的。 Worrying is a common human feature.

But when the Spirit of God comes, you can solve

that challenge within that hour for you.

He can do more than what you could have done

in X amount of time.

他可以来去在一个很长的时间, 你需要很长的时间, 可是他可以在很短的时间帮你解决。 So today I'm going to share with

you three points. 今天呢, 我要和大家分享三个点。 That I hope can position you

to receive your sudden moment.

那希望呢, 你可以来去帮助, 可以帮助你去到一个迎接不然的这个时间。 That at.

The time of waiting, you should not lose heart. 在这个等候的时候, 不要来去感到沮丧。

That at the time of waiting, know that God is good.

He is still good.

在这个等候的时候呢, 要知道说神是美善的, 他持续还是美善的。 The God will be glorified in any situation you

are going through.

神会在你每一个不同的情况里面都可以来去被荣耀。 So the first point is obedience. 第一个点就是顺服。 Turn to

your scripture to Luke 24. 可以翻到路加福音24章。 And we're going to

read verse 49. 我们会来去读第49节。 Luke 24 verse 49.

Luke 24:49

路加福音24章49节 This.

Was one of Jesus' last commandments to His disciples. 这是耶稣最后几个吩咐于祂的门徒们。

Probably read from 46. 我们可以读46节。 After they have seen Jesus

resurrected from the dead, it says here, Thus it is written,

and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer

and to rise from the dead.

The third day.

Luke.

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached

in His name to all nations beginning at Jerusalem. And

you are witnesses of these things. So what witnesses were

they of? They saw the crucifixion of Christ. They saw

that Christ was resurrected from the dead. 他們看見主耶穌基督被釘在十字架上 然後祂也從死裡復活。 These are.

Important because it validates the message of Jesus. It gives

credibility to Jesus' message that He is the way, the truth,

and the life, and that He is the resurrection and

the life.

這些是非常重要的, 因為能夠來去足夠顯現主耶穌基督是那個真理生命還有道路。 Anyone can make any claim. 没有任何一个人都可以说他们想说的话。 But only

Jesus made that claim and demonstrated the claim that He

is above death.

唯有耶稣基督能够以行动来表态出来, 去显现祂是比死亡更伟大的。 Because of that, we have hope.

因此这样我们有盼望。 And then in verse 49, He told His disciples, Behold,

I send the promise of My Father upon you, but.

tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued

with power from on high.

然后四十九节呢, 耶稣就有说到, 我要将我父所应许的降在你们身上, 你们要在城里等候, 直到你们领受从上头来的能力。 So the word tarry basically means

to wait. 所以这个字呢, 等候, 就是字面上的意思真的是等候。 How many of you, you are

waiting for something from God? 我们这里有没有谁在等候着神?

All of us, I believe, we are waiting.

So when Jesus.

Ascended back to heaven, He didn't give His disciples a

timeline on when the Holy Spirit will come.

Between the period of waiting and the appointed breakthrough, We

need to stay faithful and obedient to God.

Because scripture tells us in Corinthians that close to 500

over people actually witnessed.

The resurrected Christ. But only 120 are found in the

upper room still believing. And it's so easy to be distracted.

And sometimes it's easy to doubt God. I'm thinking maybe

in the first few days they were very excited. So

the Holy Spirit will come. We're going to receive power.

And probably by day five, They are wondering, is it

going to happen?

Then day seven. But they choose by faith to obey.

At the time of your waiting, God will give.

You a word.

God will give you a promise. But you got to

seek him.

You got to be diligent in reading your word. 你需要来去很勤劳地去读神的话语。

You should.

Be diligent in asking God to reveal to me the

revelation of your word.

需要来去很努力地来去很勤劳地向神说, 神啊, 你可以赐给我一个话语。 Because His word will come to you. 因为没有神的话语, 祂才会去到你那里。

God is ready to give you His word. 神啊, 非常预备好了要来去赐给你祂的话语。 All

you need to do is to seek Him.

你只需要做的就是来去寻求祂。 So be obedient. 所以要顺服。 So we know that this church,

we believe in the gift of the Holy Spirit.

那在我们X教会我们都非常相信这个圣灵的恩赐。 We make no apologies. 我们是没有来去感到羞耻过。 To pray in tongues.

来去一起去放眼祷告。 To be spirit-led. 来去以圣灵来带领。 To exercise the gift of

the Spirit.

来去操练圣灵的这个恩赐。 Knowledge, prophecies.

就是有智慧的言语 还有这个预言性的话语 还有这个医治的灵 I remember when I was just growing

up in this church A few months being a Christian.

我记得呢 我一开始在X教会成长的时候的前几个月 I began to desire the gifts of the

Holy Spirit 我就开始来去渴慕这个圣灵的恩赐 So I saw that when I came

to church 那我来到教会的时候 I asked myself.

我就来去问我自己 Why are all these people praying in tongues?

为什么这些人都在放眼祈祷?

Every time in worship, in prayer.

They pray in tongues. 每一次有敬拜的时候, 他们就会来去放眼祷告。 And I begin to desire

it for myself.

然后我就来去为我自己开始有这个渴望了。 I begin to desire for the gift of the Spirit.

就来去渴望着有这个圣灵的恩赐。 Desire is one thing.

要渴望是一件事。 Understanding your desire, why you want it, is another thing.

So I went for classes. To study the Bible. To

study about the Holy Spirit. Understand what it meant to

have the gift of the Spirit. Because Scripture says that

without knowledge, people will perish.

Because the Bible says that without knowledge, people will perish.

So you must pursue the knowledge of God. Pursue the

right kind of knowledge. The world is also very knowledgeable.

The knowledge of the world may seem good. But it's

not God. You want to pursue your genuine breakthrough in God.

你要真正的来去有这个重新而发的这个突破的话。 You got to align with His Word. 你要来去与神的话语来去对齐。 So

I begin with the desire. 那我就开始渴望。 I pray to God.

我就祷告说神啊。 Could you give me the gift of tongues?

可不可以给我这个方言祷告的恩赐?

I pray one month. 然后就祷告了一个星期, 一个月。 Nothing happened.

然后没有什么事情发生。 I prayed two months. Nothing happened. I vividly remember

I had two dreams.

In a dream, I was in a church setting. I

can pray in tongues.

When I wake up, 我醒来的时候, I feel so disappointed.

然後, 哇, 很失望.

I couldn't.

我不能。 I could do that in dream. 我在夢裡面可以耶。 Then another

dream also similar. 另一個夢也一樣。 I was desiring. I was just

asking God. I was very persistent.

然后我就持续地, 很勤劳地来去和神祷告。 Lord, your word says that whenever people pray in

the gift of tongues, using the gift of tongues, they

edify themselves and they pray directly to you in mysteries.

我就和神说, 神啊, 你的话也是说到, 当我来去放眼祷告的时候呢, 我们是来去彼此的鼓励, 能够来去直接的与你来去联系。 That man came, on a church service.

Oskana was preaching. I can't remember his message. But please

don't tell him. It was 20 years ago.

I remember he was making an altar call.

He said, okay, if you want to respond to the word,

you come. I was struggling in a certain area in

my life where I have a personal struggle. 那一天呢, 其实我自己有一个个人的挑战。 And

God needed to challenge me to go out.

神就来去挑战我要出去。 So I went out.

我就出去了。 I said, God, forgive.

Me of my sin.

我就说, 神啊, 你来去饶恕我的罪。 Take away this condemnation. 来去拿走这个指责我的灵。 I want a breakthrough.

我要一个突破。 Take away this sin. 拿走这个罪。 Take away this addiction.

拿走这个瘾。 I was lifting up.

My hands before the Lord. And people around me started

to lay hands on me.

They started praying in tongues. But they are looking up.

He came.

He laid his hand on me. And then, I began

to utter words that I couldn't understand. And it's uncontrollable.

I couldn't stop. I just pray in tongues.

I praise God in tongues. I pray.

I pray.

So much so, the power of God came upon me.

I fell flat.

With both my hands lifted up like this. Like that.

And my.

Lips were still just generating praise to God in tongues.

So much so that benediction day also went ahead while I.

Was still there. Service ended, I was still there. And

then Joel Lloyd, if you know from Axe Unbound.

He came.

He have to like, when I wanted to, okay already,

he came, he said, bro.

他就说, 弟兄。 Are you okay?

Are you alright?

你还好吗?

I said, yeah, I'm okay. 可以, 可以。 That was my suddenly moment.

那是我忽然的这个时间。 Where the least I anticipated it to be God came.

在我最没有来去想象到的一个时间呢, 没有期盼的时间, 他就有神, 就有领导。 But it requires obedience. 可是需要我们来去顺服。 The disciples, they obeyed. 这些门徒们, 他们有顺服于神。

They could have left. 他们其实可以离开的。 Too many people give up

these days.

太多人呢, 已经很轻易地来去放弃。 Hey, seven days already. 七天了呀。 We have waited long

enough lah. 等很久了。 We got a life ahead of us.

还有很多的生命要来去经历。 Let us pursue this life.

那让我来去寻求别的路吗? But, They didn't give up.

They waited. Sometimes it looks silly, you.

Know, to wait. The world will tell you, hey, why wait?

Let's move on.

Sorry?

Let's move on. The world is very deceiving. They will

offer you an alternative.

And the alternative may seem good. But it's not God.

The devil will always.

Find a substitute for you. The people of God must

be discerning and obey God. The first point is obedience.

Ever since the Holy Spirit came upon my life in

that way, Are there still struggles in my life? Yes

Do I still struggle with temptation? Yes But is there

provision now to pray in a level where it generates

praise and allows my spirit to strengthen?

Yes.

So the power of God will come upon you suddenly.

And a posture must always be in a posture of obedience.

When Jesus left for heaven, in Acts 1 verse 14 it.

Acts 1:14

Says, These all, that means 120, continued with one accord

in prayer and supplication with the women and Mary, the

mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

The word I want to emphasize is that they were

in one accord in prayer. In other words, there was unity.

I think the move of God always comes when the

church is united. So one of the last few prayers

that Jesus.

Made Father, let them be one as we are one.

耶稣最后几个的祈祷都是说到天父让他们都同心合一。 There's power in unity. 在同心合一里面是大有能力的。 Because unity will bring agreement.

因为合一是能够帮助我们能够互相的同心。 And agreement in the name of Jesus will yield

forth breakthrough. 是在神的灵那里一起同心合一的时候我们就会有突破。 In Psalm 133, I love this scripture.

And today I want.

To share with you a principle of how the anointing

of God and the breakthrough of God can be passed

down in every level.

In the church.

So it says here, Behold how good and pleasant it

is for.

Brethren to dwell together in unity.

这里说到呢, 看哪弟兄和睦同居, 是何等的善, 何等的美。 In every organization, in every family unit,

in every church, unity is very, very important. 在每一个家庭, 每一个机构, 每一个公司里面呢, 这个合一是非常非常的重要。

God works as Father, Son and Spirit, they are united.

We can do great things when we are united.

And the result of unity is shown in verse 2

and 3. It is like the precious oil upon the

head running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron

being the high priest, running down on the edge of

his garments.

So the anointing oil, when it was being poured out

on the high priest's head, it will go from the

top of his head all the way down, flowing to

the garment. So when the anointing oil is poured out

on the priest's head, it will flow to his body.

Verse 3, it is like the dew of Hermon descending

upon the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord commanded

the blessing, life forevermore.

So when I talk about unity, I'm talking about everyone belief.

我是在表达着每一个人所相信的。 Because the 120, they really believed.

因为呢, 那120位呢, 他们都真正的来去相信。 That the Holy Spirit will come. 就是相信说圣灵会来到。 They really

believed that Jesus.

Would say what he said he would do. 他们是相信耶稣会做出他所说到的这个答应许。 So

even in Acts 9 today.

所以在Acts 9里面呢, When I speak about unity.

I'm asking us to be on the same page of belief.

I'm asking us to be on the same page of expectation.

I'm asking us to come to God with the same hunger.

I'm asking us to come to God with the same fire.

I'm asking us to be on the same page.

Because when we are truly believing united together.

I will let you know the breakthrough will start trickling down.

So it always starts with leaders. And when the leaders break.

Through, it becomes an example for people to believe.

And when the leaders break through.

It becomes an example for people to believe. When you

fight for your marriage, you fight for your family.

When you fight even in the marketplace to stand for righteousness.

When you stand believing for God's provision.

When God.

Opens that breakthrough, they will start flowing to every area.

So the breakthroughs that we desire is not just for ourselves.

It's meant for others. Because all of the anointing will

flow from.

The top.

All the way to the garment.

So I'm asking the church to be united, being on

the same page.

That's the second point. The third one is prayer-centered.

In verse 14, this all continues with one accord in

prayer and supplication.

So They wait and they did something. If you are waiting,

you have to do something. Because it's easy to wait

and do nothing. It's easy to say that I'm waiting.

By my heart of hearts, am I really doing something

while I wait?

So the word wait here is not waiting aimlessly.

It's to wait with a purpose. There's an intention set

in that waiting. 是在这个等候的时候呢, 心里有一个期盼。 That while you wait, 你等的时候, You

expect to hear. 你会来去期盼有聆听。 That while you wait, 等候的时候, You

expect God to speak.

会期盼神与你说话。 So there are two words here used, prayer and supplication.

这里有说到就是祷告还有祈求。 Prayer basically means drawing near to God.

祷告呢就是说呢, 我们就是把自己亲近于神。 Where you can speak to Him. 你可以和祂说话。 So that

speaks about relationship. 那就是代表着这个关系。 That you have a relationship with God.

你和神有一个关系。 The heart of the Father is always for you.

因为我们这个天父的心都要来修为神。 The heart of the.

Father is always to reveal to you His plan, His purposes.

His promises.

天父的心都要来去向你彰显祂的应许, 祂的大能。 To hear from the heart of God is to

draw near to His heart.

来去聆听到神的这个心意就是来去亲近于祂的心。 So that speaks about relationship. 那就大意味着关系。 So a lot

of time when we face a particular challenge.

很多时候我们遇见一个难题。 The very first test.

That the devil will always throw at you.

Is a test of your relationship with God. That at

a time of pressure, will we still be found believing?

That at a time of pressure, will we still be

found faithful to God? Because make no mistake, the scripture

says that we can be faithless, but God remains faithful.

As we took communion earlier, the blood was shed for us.

It was also a sign of a covenant. What is

a covenant?

A covenant is that.

When we enter into a covenant.

With God, regardless of how we become or behave, because

of the covenant, God is still faithful to.

Take care of you God is still faithful to heal

you God is.

Still faithful to restore you So that's the covenant So

the first test the devil always tests is a test

of your relationship with.

God Sublication basically means is to ask earnestly because of

a need or a lack.

So in other words, Supplication is request to God. Prayer

is about relationship. Supplication is a request. Because you have

the relationship with God.

Because you know Jesus and He knows you.

You have made Him your Lord and Savior.

You qualify in that relationship to request from God.

你是能够有这个权利来去向神祈求的。 There's nothing that God cannot do for you.

没有任何一样事是神不能为你做的。 Nothing.

没有任何一样。 We want to be on the same page to

believe that God is a God of the impossible.

我们要非常清楚地相信我们的神是一个万事都能为神。 We want to be a church where it is

not dictated by what the world says about God. 我们需要成为一个教会是不要来去以世界的观点来去定。

We want to be a church that is faithful to

the Word and let the Word be glorified. 我们要来去成为一个忠心于神的话语, 来去让神的话语被得荣耀的一个教会。 So

the devil will not have the final say.

所以恶者不会有一个最后的结论。 In the time of waiting, God will always have

the final say. 在等候的时候呢, 唯有神他才有这个结局的这个结论。 Be ready.

要预备好。 Because he's going to pour out his spirit again. 因为呢, 他会来去让他的灵忽然地来去显在你的生命里。

It's time to hope again, friends. 我们是要来去持续地期盼。 It's time to

believe again. 是要来去开始再次地相信。 It's time to come back to the

place where.

We repair even our prayer altar. We come back to

the place where you can experience His Spirit again.

The Spirit is in you.

Experiencing the Spirit is about opening our hearts for the

move of the Spirit.

He will come.

He will.

He will. Amen.

We hope you've been blessed by this message. For more
