Sermon Note (3rd svc)
Pastor Mark
We need to hear heavenly perspective.
The world is burning up
The young today are under a lot of stress
Luke 21:25-28
The Coming of the Son of Man
(Matt. 24:29–31; Mark 13:24–27)
“And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring;
men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”
God loves mankind. God loves us so much that He is willing to give up His Son to pursue us.
The Prince of life is coming back for us. He is the real Prince.
We the church are the brides of Christ
Overwhelming work, we cannot take up too much work because of our limitation.
God gives us wisdom. Knowledge cannot help us but wisdom of God can.
The fear of losing job and people replacing us, this is called anxiety. Mental health and body stress.
Isaiah 60:2
For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth,
And deep darkness the people;
But the Lord will arise over you,
And His glory will be seen upon you.
But our mindset is to be changed. The Lord will arise over us.
He is raising over us. His glory seen upon us.
Who want their own children to be in poverty and lack.
The Lord shall rise over us!
Deep darkness and depression is so deep that you do not know what to do
We think we know and that is the issue.
God wants us to know.
God wants to put us in heaven. This is the blessed hope.
Luke 11:13 AMP
If you, then, being evil [that is, sinful by nature], know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask and continue to ask Him!”
God is in us everywhere we go
Holy Spirit is to our advantage
Our Father He cares for us and wants to give us good gift
The holy bible is a picture.
Every road we look at Star Vista will be different direction
When we see Jesus in every direction we are transformed
God cares for us in every moment.
In spiritual realm though we are not walking properly, our Heavenly Father is watching us every move with joy.
Whatever concern you, concern Him
My Father in heaven count my hair. He cares everything. Whatever bothers you bothers Him.
God wants us to know He cares. He loves us. Our Father in heaven loves and cares for us.
John 7:37-39
The Promise of the Holy Spirit
On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
If anyone thirst, let Him come to Me and drink
Nothing in this world satisfied
You cannot bring your rolex up. Is the spirit we are bringing up.
Come to Me and drink. He who believes in Him is drinking Him
We need to drink of Jesus
God loves us so much that He sent His Son
All of my heart will flow rivers of living water.
When we know God loves us, the living water flows.
Rivers of living water. Father’s heart is for us to prosper
Out of the belly, the holy spirit will flow out.
God’s heart is to give us the best.
Genesis 2:10-14
Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. The name of the first is Pishon (increase); it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush. The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is the Euphrates.
First is Pishon -> increase
Havilah -> there is gold (good land. Good success)
Bdellium -> health
Onyx stone -> precious
Gihon -> breakthrough
Cush -> bursting forth
Hiddekel -> rapid (supernatural)
Euphrates: fruitfulness
When Holy spirit leads us, we have the above
God’s way is one way give everything
Our Father always want to groom us. When we know we are loved, fruits will come
Know you are loved.
When you are high stress you are driven by fear.
God wants us to overflow out.
How does Holy spirit guide and lead us?
God created the GPS.
God Provision Supernaturally
God wants us to know whenever we need Him He is here
Acts 2:1-4 NLT
On the day of Pentecost all the believers were meeting together in one place.
Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting.
Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them.
And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
God’s GPS will never judge you.
You hear from the heart of ℓσνє
God can lead you. Out of the overflow He can lead you.
God wants to bypass our mind
1 Corinthians 14:14
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
When you pray in the spirit your spirit prays.
God bypass our mind so we don’t go and reason.
When we rest in His ℓσνє, Holy Spirit can flow.
When you pray in tongues you edify yourself.
When you know you are loved, is overflow
In the light we see light!
When you look at Jesus you know Father loves you.
When you pray in tongues you build yourself up.
God wants us to know
Romans 8:26-28
And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.
And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. 28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them
In verse 28 – holy spirit
From don’t know to know
We got Jesus we are good enough
We know all things will work together for good!
The purpose is to shine forth Jesus in our lives
Fruits of the Holy Spirit
1 Samuel 30:4-8 (MSG)
David and his men burst out in loud wails—wept and wept until they were exhausted with weeping. David’s two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail widow of Nabal of Carmel, had been taken prisoner along with the rest. And suddenly David was in even worse trouble. There was talk among the men, bitter over the loss of their families, of stoning him.
David strengthened himself with trust in his God. He ordered Abiathar the priest, son of Ahimelech, “Bring me the Ephod so I can consult God.” Abiathar brought it to David.
Then David prayed to God, “Shall I go after these raiders? Can I catch them?”
The answer came, “Go after them! Yes, you’ll catch them! Yes, you’ll make the rescue!”
His own people turned against him
David went to God first
He ordered the “GPS”
He consulted God
We depend on ourselves but David depended on the “GPS”
Shoulder plate is to carry our burdens.
God wants us to know He can carry our burdens
When we know we are engraved in His heart, we know we are loved, we can hear Him clearly
Abiathar – My Father is Great
Ahimelech – My Brother is King
When we have good opinion of God, we know our God loves us, and our Jesus is King, out of overflows, rivers come out.
Rest in His ℓσνє and the “GPS” will work
He got everything back
God’s business is in restoring and building up.
When the day of Pentecost, Holy Spirit came like a mighty rushing wind
Holy Spirit wants to hug you
Live out God’s dream in our heart
Praying in tongues is not a ritual or work
Jesus on earth, He gave us a hope picture
John 13:21-26
After he had said this, Jesus was troubled in spirit and testified, “Very truly I tell you, one of you is going to betray me.”
His disciples stared at one another, at a loss to know which of them he meant. One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him. Simon Peter motioned to this disciple and said, “Ask him which one he means.”
Leaning back against Jesus, he asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish.” Then, dipping the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
John 16:13
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
Holy Spirit will tell you things to come
When you don’t know, how do you from don’t know to know?
Holy Spirit. When you are close to His chest, you will hear.
Learning back against Jesus is ℓσνє.
You want to hear accurately, learn back to His ℓσνє.
My Father is Great, my brother is king, i am His beloved!
Before outside anything change, inside need to change first.
Pour your heart to Jesus.
We are not pursued of gold, we are made to pursue Jesus.
Just like Mary and Joseph, they were poor. But when they behold the greatest gift, Jesus, outside the wise men followed the stars, the GPS will come to our place.
When we focus on Jesus, we don’t focus on our breakthroughs, and your breakthroughs come to you.
