Sermon Note
Pastor Mark
When Jesus died on the cross, on the birthday of the church, the Holy Spirit came down. How much more our Heavenly Father will give to us holy spirit so that He can hear our voice to be connected with Him
Acts 2:1-4
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Our Father loves us so much that He rushed down to come to us.
He established the connection and He wants to be with us more than we can understand
Colossians 1:20-23
and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister.
When we are in His presence we are holy, without a single fault.
We are so pure and so holy
As holy as Christ is.
As blameless as Jesus.
God sees u pure and holy.
we are so holy that the holy spirit can dwell in us forever.
Stand firmly in it. Don’t drift away
When we pray in tongues is to repair and restore us
Be it emotional or physically
When we pray in tongues there is a rest and refreshing
Allow Him to help us
Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
The path of the righteous shines brighter and brighter
Groaning – not a known language
1 Corinthians 3:16
Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
God goes with us everywhere including our working place
God gives us the advantages that the world don’t have.
God is us.
1 Corinthians 6:19
Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own?
When you begin to know who you are, you live up who you are.
God wants us to rest. He leads us by still water.
When we pray in tongues we have the rest and refreshing
1 Corinthians 14:14-15
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.
God doesn’t want us to understand. We cannot expect good.
God bypass our logic to pray for us. We will reason ourselves out of good things
Through our weaknesses, God wants to bypass our minds
When we pray in tongues we charge ourselves up
Jude 1:20-21
Maintain Your Life with God
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
When you pray in tongues, it is supernatural light.
Deep darkness in the world is touchable
God wants to give us supernatural light
God wants to bypass our minds
When we pray in tongues we magnify God
Come unto Me and i will give u rest
John 5:40
But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
John 6:35
And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst.
Unless you eaten of Jesus, you enjoy His rest, than we can enjoy rest
We rest on Him
If not, even what we have we will not enjoy
“I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”
Ephesians 3:16-19 NLT
Everything in life is about perspective
When you have Jesus, you don’t want to have anything else
Keep you strong
Have the power to understand
When you pray in tongues you begin to charge yourself up in the ℓσνє of Christ
When you see Jesus, there is rest and refreshing
1 Corinthians 14:18 (Msg)
I’m grateful to God for the gift of praying in tongues that he gives us for praising him, which leads to wonderful intimacies we enjoy with him. I enter into this as much or more than any of you.
Holy Spirit comes to enlarge Jesus
When you pray in tongues u see rivers of living water.
It becomes effortless
When you pray in tongues you build yourself up
1 Timothy 4:7-9
Stay clear of silly stories that get dressed up as religion. Exercise daily in God—no spiritual flabbiness, please! Workouts in the gymnasium are useful, but a disciplined life in God is far more so, making you fit both today and forever. You can count on this. Take it to heart.
Exercise is charging process
Is progressive
Exercise ourselves towards Godliness
1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
1 Timothy 4:7-9
But reject profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise yourself toward godliness. For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance.
I am righteous. Authority because of Jesus
Exercise in Godliness is benefit for all
We are so fearful our hp is not charged. We are so afraid we cannot keep in contact.
Charging our hp profit little
Charging ourselves is profitable for all things
Acts 2:42
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
When you hear Him, you see Jesus
When you pray in tongues, all good things is going to happen
Don’t strife to climb up corporate
Use the Jacob ladder and rest in His ℓσνє for you and you will enjoy abundant life
We are sons of the most high God
When we begin to pray in tongues, God loves to hear our voice.
1 Corinthians 12:3
Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.
