(His24-7.com)   Acts 1:1-9 Dr. A. C. Dixon, a great preacher in the last century said, “When we rely upon organization, we  get what organization can do. When we rely upon education, we get what education can  do. When we rely upon eloquence, we get what eloquence can do. But when we rely  upon the Holy Spirit, we get what God can do.” The great folly of the contemporary church is that we have set aside the plan Jesus had for us, and replaced it with many other supposedly good things.  You see, He did not say, “You shall be social justice warriors or community organizers.”  He said, “Tarry in Jerusalem until you receive power from on high, and you shall be my witnesses.” Brothers and sisters, we have been relying on the wrong things.

(His24-7.com) Acts 2:1-12     Sometimes people say that we need another Pentecost.  We don’t need another Pentecost any more than we need another Bethlehem or another Calvary. Bethlehem is God with us.  Calvary is God for us.  Pentecost is God in us.Today we will be looking at 4 words dealing with the Holy Spirit:  Baptism, Indwelling, Sealing and Filling.

(His24-7.com) Hebrews 13:1-2 Last week we looked at the reality of demonic forces, how they do the work of our spiritual enemy, whose mission is to steal, kill, and destroy. Today, we want to look at God’s spiritual beings, known as angels, because truthfully, so many people today don’t even understand what the role of angels are in the spirit world and in our lives, as well.

(His24-7.com) Mark 5:1-13 Please recognize this:  There is an evil force that is more wicked than you could ever imagine that wants to steal, kill, and destroy everything that matters to the heart of God. The demons want your family, your marriage, your children, your finances, your health, and your relationship with God. Bottom line is, they want you.  Satan is described as a roaring lion, seeking someone, anyone to devour.  His mission is to steal, kill, and destroy; therefore, you do battle, not in your own power, but in the authority of who you are in Christ.

(His24-7.com) John 14:15-18     Until his Aldersgate experience, John Wesley was a sincerely religious man. That evening at Aldersgate, he was saved and filled with the Holy Spirit.  Before he tried. Afterward, he did. Before, he was sincere.  After, he was saved. The difference between the presence or absence of the Holy Spirit is results. God wants to empower believers to live a supernatural life.  As we study scripture, what we find is that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and is absolutely and completely necessary and essential to live the life that God wants us to live as followers of Christ.  God wants to fill His children with His Spirit so that we can live a supernatural life pleasing to God in all ways.

(His24-7.com) Ephesians 6:10-13 As we do battle, we recognize that we don’t battle with the weapons of this world, but with the weapons of the spiritual world.  What do you have?  You have the helmet of salvation.  You have the breastplate of righteousness.  You have the shield of faith to quench the fiery darts of the evil one.  You have the belt of truth.  You have the shoes with the Gospel of peace.  You have the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, and you can pray in the Spirit on all occasions, invoking the power of God to do battle on your behalf.

(His24-7.com) Ephesians  6:10-20    Though we live in a physical world, there is another world.  There is a spirit world, where there is a war raging.  There is the, the Kingdom of Light versus the kingdom of darkness. When we engage in the spiritual battle, we don’t fight with the weapons of this world; instead, we engage in this battle with prayer and by faith and using God’s word.  In this world, there is a very real spiritual battle going on.

(His24-7.com) John 20: 18-21Easter morning Mary Magdalene met Jesus outside the tomb.  He told her to go and tell His disciples that He had risen.  Obediently, she did.  To her frustration, they didn’t believe her.Then, that evening, while the disciples were hiding out in fear, Jesus showed up in the midst of them.Then they believed, and Mary was vindicated. Sweet!Thomas, who wasn’t there when Jesus appeared, refused to believe the disciples when they informed him that they had seen the Lord.  Later, Jesus appeared to Thomas, and he believed.The disciples were vindicated.  Sweet!Notice the pattern: Someone experiences the presence of the Resurrected Jesus and they tell others.  The others won’t believe. It takes Jesus to convince them.When we’re saved, we want to share what we have found with others.  In fact, we have, like Mary been told to by the Lord.   When we first share the Lord with someone, they probably won’t believe us.  That’s okay.  Share anyway, and sooner or later the Lord will vindicate us.

It means resting upon Christ alone and what He has done rather than upon what you or I have done to getus into heaven. The Bible says,"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved."

(His24-7.com)  John 12:1-22 From the other gospels we know that Jesus had been telling them that the Son of Man must be delivered up for crucifixion. He was very clear about this.We also know that the disciples did not want to hear this and it seems evident that they didn’t fully grasp what He was saying.But Mary had learned the importance of sitting at His feet and listening to His words. But more than that, I’m convinced she heard His heart. “If You are to be crucified, then I will anoint You now for Your burial.” It was an act of extravagant love.Why did she love extravagantly? Because she understood how much Jesus loved her.

(His24-7.com)  Jeremiah 1:4-10 Question:  How do you find out who God says you are? The short answer is : Read the Bible and Talk to God. For the longer answer, listen to this message. In it you will find that you are not defined by your performance, your possessions, or other people's opinions. You are defined by what God says about you. And He says you are blessed, chosen, holy, blameless, adopted, forgiven, loved, a masterpiece, a new creation, and you belong to His family.

(His24-7.com)    2 Timothy 1:7 Jesus said, “The thief comes but to kill, steal and destroy.  I came that they might have life, and have it abundantly.”  Inordinate fear is one of the enemy’s tools to paralyze you and keep you from living the abundant life Jesus wants you to have. We have to get rid of it before we can move on in our daily lives and in the Kingdom of God.
