Pastor John Lindell shared with us that incredible things were happening at James River Church… unlike anything he had experienced in his previous 30 years there.
People being healed… Not just in the service, but when greeters pray for people on the way in our out.
One person had their knee healed of a miniscus tear and when they went back to the surgeon he said… you must be part of James River.
People being filled with the Holy Spirit and going out and leading others to faith in Christ.
As I listened to his testimony about what God was doing, I thought, why not at River Church?
Why not.
God wants to pour out His Spirit like never before.
When God moves look at what happens.
They preached with boldness and asked God to give them greater boldness.
Then they asked for miracles to happen to sho people God is really God.
How was all this happening?
How is it happening at James River and churches all around the world?
They key is that they were ALL filled with the Holy Spirit
Then because they were all filled with the Holy Spirit...
Many miracles took place.
Acts 5 has miracles taking place… look at this.
Signs and wonders - meant to show people about God.
People were being healed and delivered and being saved.
The Holy Spirit was performing miracles to show people Jesus.
The key to these miracles was the Baptism with the Holy Spirit
Jesus said this would happen.
Look at
Jesus said to wait for the Holy Spirit.
He didn’t say to go out and evangelize… to preach… to teach… to witness, but to wait on the Gift.
That gift is the Baptism with the Holy Spirit.
Look at verse 5…
He said that when you are baptized with the Holy Spirit you will receive power
Power - dunamis
Power to be a witness… to live for the Lord and to tell others about him.
Prayer language might be an initial evidence of being filled but the ultimate evidence of being filled with the Holy Spirit is power.
God used miracles to show who Jesus was and he will use them to show people who he is through us now.
BG - prayed all day for the filling of the Spirit, he was filled and his ministry changed forever.
Peter said that God endorsed Jesus by doing powerful miracles through him.
The miracles showed people Jesus was who he said he was.
Miracles provided and still provide witnessing opportunities
After Peter healed the lame beggar, it was so dynamic that if gave him a witnessing opportunity.
Then he goes on to tell them about Jesus…
Look what Peter did and said...
The miracles gave them witnessing opportunities.
Do you think that miracles could do the same today?
You hear testimony from some of our men… We have seen people healed here… Stephanie…
Stephen was one of the early martyrs… he was not an Apostle, he was a deacon… a regular guy that God did great things through.
Check Philip out.
People listened to him because of the miracles he performed.
Simon was a sorcerer who believed in Jesus because of Philip and began following Jesus and Philip.
Jesus had to have the Holy Spirit’s power while he walked this earth.
Do you think that if Jesus needed the Holy Spirit in his life… that just maybe we do too?
What about Paul?
Do you think that if Paul needed the Holy Spirit in him… that just maybe we do too?
They key was that they were Baptized with the Holy Spirit
Jesus followers should all be Baptized with the Holy Spirit
All the Believers at Pentecost were filled with the Holy Spirit
We are living in the last days… the last of the last days.
Look what God said he would do in the last days.
Paul commanded believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit
We need to allow the Holy Spirit to move in us and move us to be more like Jesus.
He will not dominate us, but will lead us.
We have a part in this… we have to allow him in.
The Holy Spirit not only came upon believers on Pentecost but …
The Holy Spirit filled the Gentiles
Peter is preaching about Jesus and while he was preaching, people got saved and had their sins forgiven.
Then they received the Holy Spirit.
We must receive the Holy Spirit too.
Listen, if you are going to drink from the fountain, you have to swallow.
You may have never accepted Jesus of you may have strayed off like the prodigal son.... but we have a God who is always looking for us to turn to him.
