Acts 1:4-8 While he was with them, he declared, “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait there for what my Father promised, which you heard about from me. For John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.” So when they had gathered together, they began to ask him, “Lord, is this the time when you are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” He told them, “You are not permitted to know the times or periods that the Father has set by his own authority. But you will RECEIVE POWER when the HOLY SPIRIT has come upon you, and you will BE MY WITNESSES in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest parts of the earth.”

Acts 2:1-4 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like a violent wind blowing came from heaven and filled the entire house where they were sitting. And tongues spreading out like a fire appeared to them and came to rest on each one of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak in other languages as the Spirit enabled them.

The Baptism of the Spirit w/ Manifest Gifts is how Jesus SIGNS His Church.

1Pet. 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that you should SHOW FORTH the praises (wonderful deeds) of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

WE demonstrate that we’re a peculiar people…possessed by GOD, when we’re SHOWING FORTH His wonderful deeds.

The Church can do a lot of good in Jesus’ Name. But it’s the manifestation of the Gifts/Signs of the Holy Spirit that elevate us above a Public Charity. Because it’s what the Spirit does through us.

LIVING WITH THE WORD, Pt-4 ”In Sync”

Sunday Jun 19, 2022

"If you ABIDE in me, and my words ABIDE in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you…You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and BEAR FRUIT and that your fruit should ABIDE, SO THAT whatever you ask the Father in my name, He may give it to you." —John 15:7,16

The Fruit Jesus is talking about isn’t the product of WORK but the RESULT of ABIDING. What’s REAL and TRUE in Heaven requires a SYNC with Earth in order to have its transforming affect. Everything Jesus came to bring depends upon YOU being IN SYNC with Him in order to manifest.

Heb. 1:3 ...He upholds the universe (All Things) by the WORD of His power.

GOD’s power flows through His Word. Have you ever noticed that the the Bible has a “BUT GOD…” for every bad condition?

"Saul hunted David (to kill him), BUT GOD didn’t give David into his hands." —1Sam 13:24

In every situation involving Sin & Death there’s ALWAYS a BUT GOD hovering just above it, waiting for you to SYNC with GOD’s Word and access it. Being in SYNC with GOD requires a solid connection between 2 POINTS: Heaven and Earth. The Heavenly Connection is You living with your Attention, Affection, and Expectation on Jesus. The Earthly Connection is Jesus’ Words living in you through your Conscience & Behavior. REMEMBER: It was the WORD of GOD that Satan attacked in order to severe the connection between GOD and Man: Has GOD said?

In every situation, GOD has a WORD, pregnant with His Power and Will, ready to go to work, just waiting for a Sower to Speak it and Follow it. K’dom Authority comes from being in Sync with Jesus His WORDS abiding in you so that you KNOW exactly what YOU HAVE within you. In Acts 3:6 But Peter said, “I have no silver or gold, but WHAT I DO HAVE I GIVE YOU. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, stand up and walk!” Acts 3:6 was a SYNC! Peter didn’t WORK a miracle, he was in SYNC with a Miracle. Stop coming to church expecting K’dom results on earth w/o SYNCING up with Jesus! Revival occurs when the SYNCING between Heaven & Earth is strong. Reformation occurs when the SYNCING between Heaven & Earth is Expeditionary.

STRESS!

Sunday Apr 10, 2022

2Tim. 3:1 BUT UNDERSTAND this, that in the last days will come perilous times of great STRESS and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].

Is. 30:18 The Lord [earnestly] waits [expecting, looking, and longing] to be gracious to you; and therefore HE LIFTS HIMSELF UP, that He may have mercy on you and show loving-kindness to you. For the Lord is a GOD of justice. Blessed are all those who [earnestly] wait for Him, who expect and LOOK and LONG for Him [for His victory, His favor, His love, His peace, His joy, and His matchless, unbroken companionship]!

April is Stress Awareness Month. Personally, I think we’ve been celebrating Stress Awareness for the past 3 years. This morning I want to introduce Stress Awareness Month to Jesus Awareness Month. It’s time to make the STRESS and trouble that’s hard to deal with and hard to bear aware of the GOD of Justice, who LIFTS HIMSELF UP to have Mercy on you and show you His Loving-kindness.

Stress is the Gravity of Life. Every step of living takes energy to break through the resistance of stress. Under normal conditions stress is no more difficult than walking. But like the ocean, floating on an inner tube along the shore is refreshing. But being tossed by 30’ waves in a tempest is life-threatening. Stress isn’t a killer until the storm comes.
