The Day of Pentecost & Why It Matters - Pastor Keenen Worrell

Can you imagine a 120 people in a small upper room coming together day after day, together praying and waiting, praying and waiting, praying and waiting, having no idea what was going to happen, no idea outside of what Jesus said, what to look for, how it was going to happen. Then what began as a prayer meeting turned into an encounter with the very presence of God. [00:02:09] (34 seconds)  #UpperRoomEncounter

Maybe it is depression or grief that won't lift, maybe it's pain in your body or healing or breakthrough that you need. Maybe it's a business decision that has been keeping you up at night. And maybe it's it's this idea of God, will you do it? Will you provide? Can Can I tell you this morning that you did not come here by accident? God sees you, God knows you, and God is not far from you. [00:14:12] (32 seconds)  #GodKnowsYou

Thank you that the same presence that was available in that upper room is present here today, enabling people to fulfill the will of God for their life. We thank you for the day of power residing on the inside of each one of us, that we would be aware, that we would use it, that we would see it, God. Not just here in in gathering of the body of believers, but outside these doors. [00:46:35] (45 seconds)  #PresenceEverywhere

Some of you are are battling depression. Some of you are experiencing a grief that just won't lift. Experiencing circumstances that just feel unfair, walking through a a painful situation that has no quick fix. I just wanna take time to remind you this morning that God is near and that his power and his presence is available to you. [00:07:12] (38 seconds)  #NearToTheBroken

If you're a mom or dad that is just in an uncertain place, if you are a business owner or an entrepreneur trying to figure out how to move forward, God cares about all of your life. He gives wisdom. He gives courage. He gives provision, and we are going to pray that you encounter his presence in every decision. [00:16:32] (20 seconds)  #PrayingForDecisions

that it is not always physical healing? Sometimes it's the peace that surpasses all understanding while you're still in bed. Sometimes it is the strength to endure as you walk through sickness on your way to healing. Sometimes it is wisdom, divine wisdom from doctors and medicine, but we invite the holy spirit to move in whatever way he sees fit. [00:10:29] (28 seconds)  #HealingBeyondPhysical

I love the holy spirit because he doesn't come in in the midst of our situations and look around and say, oh, that's not that bad. What you crying for? Why are you upset? He doesn't do that. He says, I'm here with you, I see you, and I'm not leaving. [00:07:57] (20 seconds)  #SpiritStaysWithYou

In the New Testament, they came together, they healing happened. They came together, they prayed, the disciples were released from jail. Every time the church comes together and prays, something significant happens, and that same holy spirit is available today. [00:18:02] (22 seconds)  #WhenChurchPrays

You came in here, some of you today came in here carrying something. Maybe it is depression or grief that won't lift, maybe it's pain in your body or healing or breakthrough that you need. Maybe it's a business decision that has been keeping you up at night. And maybe it's it's this idea of God, will you do it? Will you provide? [00:14:06] (25 seconds)  #BringYourBurden

That we would be used by you for your glory, that people would come to know you and be drawn to you like never before. Please continue the work throughout this week. I thank you for the miracles that we'll see, that we'll hear about all this week, God. Signs and wonders. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. [00:47:20] (35 seconds)  #WeekOfMiracles

Father, we thank you. We thank you for your presence moving in this place. And I thank you that you are faithful to this house, that your presence is faithful to this house. I thank you for the words that you've spoken. Thank you for the miracles that are already taking place. [00:46:08] (27 seconds)  #FaithfulPresence

Secondly, we're gonna pray for that are in affliction. If your body is broken, if you've been fighting sickness, we are going to invite the healing power of Jesus into your life. Asking, trusting, surrendering, and then we wanna pray for those that are in uncertainty. [00:16:11] (20 seconds)  #PrayForTheAfflicted

God sees you, God knows you, and God is not far from you. God sees you, God knows you, and God is not far from you. God sees you, knows you, and he is not far from you. [00:14:35] (27 seconds)  #GodSeesAndKnows

that he is going to invade whatever area of your life it is that you are needing. This is what happened in Pentecost. The church came together and prayed and the spirit fell. In the New Testament, they came together, they healing happened. They came together, they prayed, the disciples were released from jail. [00:17:50] (20 seconds)  #SpiritFellAtPentecost

We are going to agree with you in faith. We can't supplement your faith. Amen? We're going to agree with you, and we're gonna pray over you. We believe that God can do it, but we're not gonna be double minded. So when you come up, come up in faith, and we're gonna pray [00:17:17] (33 seconds)  #WeAgreeInFaith

You've been battling something. Maybe you've been at a loss of hope as it pertains to healing. I want to remind you again that God is near, and his power and his presence is available to you. We see so many times in scripture, including in the church in came to the disciples that were sick. [00:09:08] (26 seconds)  #HopeInHisPresence

Believe this. We believe in prayer. We believe in healing, and we understand that. You know, healing isn't always physical. Sometimes it is, and can I tell you to the glory of God, there are many examples of people sitting here in this congregation right now who have prayed and received physical healing, but I understand [00:10:05] (25 seconds)  #FaithAndHealingStories
