Introduction
The difference between wearing a label and actually be authentic.
Abibas.
Matthew 7:21
We must be authentic followers of Jesus.
Empty Vessels
Disciples, but of what or of whom?
The question of the Holy Spirit answers that question.
If they are disciples of Jesus, then they will have the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38
Consistently through Scripture and following, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit occured immediately with salvation, except for one instance where it brought together the Samaritan and Jewish Christians.
Beyond that, it was a simultaneous event.
They were religious, moral, even receptive.
But they were not Christians.
Baptism of John was repentance.
These guys were like an empty water jug.
A level of anticipation, but without any satisfaction.
For others and for themselves.
Everyone follows something.
Are you saved?
A-B-C
Admit that you have sinned.
Believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior
Confess Jesus as your Lord
If you’ve never received Jesus, today is the day for you to do that.
You must do that to be saved!
Filled Vessels
Finally, they experienced the baptism of Jesus, which was forgiveness.
Baptism quickly follows as well as acceptance into the community of believers administered by Paul.
Paul lays hands on them, to pray over them, and they experienced evidence of the Spirit:
Tongues and Prophecy.
Which in the NT are typical evangelistic gifts.
Immediate evidence of a changed life.
Not immediately perfect.
Not immediately knowledgeable.
But immediate freedom from temptation or sin!
But, The Christian has an immediate change in desire.
The Spirit gives the believer Wisdom and Boldness.
Put the right stuff in the dishwasher.
The Holy Spirit is what goes into the believer so that we can do what we were created to do.
Flowing Vessels
The continued to receive teaching from Paul.
AND, they continued to take the Gospel to others.
As Paul was teaching in Ephesus, these men had shared with others, and they with others.
The nature of discipleship: Someone pours into you while you pour into others.
If our 125 people, just led one person to the Lord each year and discipled that person to lead one other person.
Just one a year.
Midwest City & Choctaw 70,000 Year 10
EOC 105,000 Year 11
OKC Metro 1,250,000 Year 14
Oklahoma 4,000,000 Year 16
Region 48,000,000 Year 20
Year 20 would actually get us to 90 Million.
That’s almost double the amount of people in this region.
Every believer can and should continue growing.
Every believer can and should share their faith.
Conclusion
The parable of the sower.
Or the two soils.
One is productive, the other unproductive.
Based on whether or not it produced fruit.
The Indwelling Spirit empowers you!
A lack of understanding of the Spirit has led to a lack of effectiveness in the Christian life.
Fruit of the Spirit.
Fruit naturally grows.
The opposite of artificial.
