We are fighting a problem in the church that we have had throughout history of the church.
too many Christians struggle to live the abundant life Jesus talked about when they don’t have to.
Our goal is to have a relationship with all of God… Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
The problem most people have with the Holy Spirit is the packaging.
We see people acting crazy and blaming the Holy Spirit, but those people were crazy without the Holy Spirit.
First week -Spirit - means wind in your sails… breath of fresh air.
Without HS, we feel like we are doing it all by ourselves.
Second Week - Pentecost - Jesus poured out the HS on Pentecost Holiday
Third week - Charismatic - we looked at the grace gifts God gives us.
You will never be truly fulfilled until you are operating in your gifts.
Baptism: to be immersed in
This is an important word … Baptism with or in or by the HS.
There are three Baptisms available for you.
Three Baptisms
Baptized into the Body of Christ.
Write salvation next to this.
Salvation is not a prayer you pray or going to church.
It’s an immersion into a relationship with Jesus and the Body of Christ.
Body is the family of believers
You have clothed yourself with Jesus.
At that moment, the disciples received forgiveness.
This is salvation.
Pentecost had not come.
Then he makes reference to another experience… a separate exp.
Wait until you receive the power of HS
The disciples had been baptized into Jesus & the Body of Christ.
Water Baptism
This is separate from Salvation.
It’s a symbol of salvation… like my ring shows I am married.
It’s amazing that we can make controversy out of anything.
Some say in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit when they Baptize and others say in Jesus name only… People over the wording.
God is not going to let you in because the person baptizing you said the wrong thing.
Baptism is separate from Salvation!
It is the 2nd step in your journey.
27 times in NT people were saved and then baptized.
Here is one
Your faith is a private decision that needs to go public.
Baptism is like the wedding ring… public declaration of the private commitments we made.
There is a third baptism...
Baptism in the Holy Spirit.
glass full of water = salvation
glass in the pool is immersed
Why? God did not want to mix your free gift of salvation with Baptism which requires some works or with the Baptsim in the Spirit which is to empower you to go do works.
The third Baptism is for the purpose of us doing some work.
These are the three Baptism…
This is a spiritual journey.
We all are on a spiritual journey.
Jesus wants us to be Filled with the Holy Spirit.
testimony…
Peter couldn’t even tell a young girl he new Jesus but after the HS, he preached and 3,000 were saved.
You will always try to find something that will give you a supernatural experience… you want something to make you go wow...
HS will give you that experience.
You are destined to live a supernatural life, not a natural one… HS does that.
How?
1. Remove all barriers.
God has more steps for you
You have to remove the things that are keeping you from progressing.
You have steps in your spiritual journey.
Some of you need to be baptized.
Maybe you have doctrinal issues with receiving the Baptism in the HS… I did until I was baptized in the HS.
Some are afraid…
Some need to lead a SG
Some of you want a better marriage… somethings in the way
2. Request the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Quit telling God how much of him you want.
Tell God you want whatever he has for you.
We try to filter things through normal.
God is not normal and what he has for you is not normal.
I need supernatural Christianity… not normal.
3. Receive Holy Spirit by Faith.
You may know a lot of what God wants you to do, but he will always leave something blank… so that you have to take a leap of faith.
Starting this church took a leap…
Some of you are only ankle deep - salvation.
But there is more.
River Church because we want to be in the river of the HS.
Some of you are knee deep.
Maybe it hit you during worship… you raised a hand
Some of you are up to the waist.
… Growth Track… lead a group…
All three of these … you are wet but you are in control.
He invites you to get out into the river where you cannot stand.
You have to float in the river.
Why do you think we are called River Church?
He is not looking for perfection.
He just wants you to take a step of faith.
He rewards those who sincerely seek him.
We receive HS so that we can ...
4. Relate to Him daily.
Here is my prayer for you.
He will turn shy, not powerful, people into people who will make a difference in the lives of others.
1. Immerse into Jesus in a relationship.
This begins private right in your seat.
Pray sinners prayer
2. Next be willing to be baptized - take it public.
3.
You want prayer, hands laid on you to be filled with HS
