Sermon clips from Utrecht churches

50s
“Now the main purpose that we can see, you know, the empowerment of the Holy Spirit, why, the disciples has to wait to be clothed in power is for them to become effective witnesses for Christ. Acts one eight. The verse we mentioned a while ago says, but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses. You need this power to be an effective witness for me in Jerusalem, in Judea, in Samaria, and into the uttermost part of the world, to the ends of the earth. That's, why we need, empowerment.”
53s
“En je kan er zeker van zijn dat in de laatste dagen de Bijbel zegt dat in de laatste dagen dat die moeilijk zullen zijn. De laatste dagen zullen heel moeilijk zijn. Maar precies in de laatste dagen zal de vervulling komen van de profetie die God in zijn woord heeft uitgesproken. Zijn recept, het recept voor een kwalitatief leven, een eeuwig leven. Niet slechts een goed leven hier op aarde, maar een eeuwig leven en dat is het belangrijkste.”
41s
“So at Pentecost, the fire came. K? I believe it was the same fire. But now it is not just one, one fire, and it is not resting on a mountain or in a building, but on its disciple. Resting on each of them, making God's presence felt as he makes his dwelling in every disciple present at that moment. Now the presence of God is now resting in its of the believers. And therefore, for that matter, to all believers after after them.”
45s
“``There's no fire, but there's still the glowing embers. You can just stir it up, you know, and the fire will start again. Maybe you can put more, woods and logs, k, to make the fire ablaze again, to fire it up. Okay? And, it is in the same way with our spiritual, fervor, the fire that is inside us, sometimes it dies down. But what seems to be dead or dormant can be stirred up again and make it ablaze again because our gift is meant to be used, not to be kept. K? It's meant to be used.”
37s
“You can never share the word of God to other people if you do not care for them. So you think you love God? Then love other people as well. No? Starting with the brethren. For that is how they will know we are indeed the children of God by the way we love each other. So a a spirit of not those not a spirit of fear, but a spirit of, power and of love, and then a spirit of a sound mind.”
49s
“Beste vriend en vriendin het zwaard van de geest en dat is Gods woord. Gebruik de gedachte van God en beleid ze en zeg ze. En laat je niet misleiden door de ijdele praatjes van satan. Daarna zal het geschieden, zegt God, dat ik mijn geest zal uitstorten op alle vlees. Dat is het. Als jij je zelf ziet als iemand die niet deugt, als iemand zegt, als de duivel zegt dat jij verrot vlees bent, maakt niet uit.”
42s
“Wij kunnen al opmerken de invloed van de antichrist. Wij zien al de vuilheid van de antichrist die zich manifesteert overal de wereld. Maar godzijdank. Dit is een teken, een goed en groot teken. Het is een teken dat alles wat geschreven staat over de laatste dagen zal gebeuren. En in de laatste dagen, juist in de moeilijkste dagen, zegt God dat ik mijn geest zal uitstorten op alle vlees, zegt de Heere van de legermachten.”
32s
“Dus het woord van God is voor wie gelooft. Het woord van de duivel is ook voor wie gelooft. Als jij gelooft in het woord van de duivel, ben je verloren. Als jij in Gods woord gelooft, ben je behouden. Dat is het. Dus gebruik je verstand, je redeneringsvermogen. God zij dank heeft Hij ons de geest gegeven om na te denken, om te redeneren, af te wegen.”
31s
“"Being confident of this very thing that he who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. The day of Jesus Christ, of course, is his coming in the last day where we will all receive the perfection. But for the moment, let us work out our salvation. Amen."”
31s
“"We have the Holy Spirit that is dwelling in us. And we will, let us allow the Holy Spirit to really work, to minister in our life. He is the one who is doing the transformation. But what he needs is our willingness to be transformed. Our willingness to do our part in exercising all these things that he is working in inside of us."”
