Pentecost: Receive the Holy Spirit and Power

Now let me address this this idea that you might have that I had that maybe it's okay. God's spirit, he he lives on the inside of us, but, like, he divvies it divvies it up just a little bit for you, a little bit for you. You get a little bit or maybe you'll get a little bit more. He doesn't divvy it up. And let's look at the scripture again. John chapter three verse 34. It's not just a little bit of god that's on the inside of you. The spirit of god lives fully on the inside of you. John chapter three verse 34 says, for god does not give the spirit by measure. [01:18:13] (42 seconds)  #SpiritWithoutMeasure

There's so much evil, injustice, lack of love for one another and for ourselves in our country. Some are feeling despair Like, god has left them. Like, I was having a conversation with someone and they they said this to me and I wanted to add this. Like, life is full of bad luck. I just can't get any good luck. Everything bad happens to me. There's economic imbalance, family dysfunction, lack of purpose in life, depression, fear, anxiety, shame, sickness, and disease. There are so many problems that are caused by sin, but god, He has always had the solution to every sin problem, and that solution has always been Jesus, the son of god, our savior.

The scripture becomes real to us when the holy spirit guides us through the scriptures. Man has been reading this for years, thousands of years, and only get a little bit out of this. There's so many people who say the bible's outdated now. It don't apply to the life that we live today. Well, let me say this. He spit he sent the holy spirit. Scripture says, to reveal all truth. We can't do this on our own. Amen. This was never meant to be a religion. [01:09:20] (44 seconds)  #SpiritRevealsScripture

Now here's the thing. There's a lot of people who hear that message, and they've created a whole new religion around it. They say, god body. I'm god body. I'm god body. They get the idea, but there's no power. There's no meaning in it because none of this means anything unless you first make Jesus your lord. And when you make Jesus your lord, then he gives you the gift of the holy spirit. He said, I'm gonna send you a helper who's gonna teach you in all truth. [01:08:44] (36 seconds)  #JesusFirstThenSpirit

We need power. I love that, mister Johnson. For everything that we're going through in life but we can't do it outside of god, outside of his plan. We surrender to Jesus. He gives us the gift of the holy spirit and the holy spirit guides us in all truths and we saw the scripture with the holy spirit. Jesus did all his works through the holy spirit. He modeled it for us. So the things we see Jesus do, we can do. Yeah. The things that we saw Jesus do, we can do. And I'm telling you this and ministering to myself at the same time.

So between day 40 and day 50, the disciples go to Jerusalem and they're singing and they're worshiping and they're praying and they're waiting for this gift that god Jesus has just been telling them about over and over and over and over. And they're excited, but they don't really understand what's about to happen. They just follow instructions. They've humbled themselves and followed instructions from the lord. We must humble ourselves and follow instructions from the lord. Amen. [00:56:35] (37 seconds)  #HumbleAndWait

First Corinthians chapter four verse 20 says this, for the kingdom of god is not of word, there's a lot of people talking. Yeah. And they can do a good talk. It makes sense when they talk to you so much. They use a lot of words But that's not what the kingdom of god is about. First Corinthians four twenty says, for the kingdom of god is not in word but in power. [00:52:27] (22 seconds)  #KingdomOfPower

Jesus is god. He is the son of god, but he decided to come live among us to model for us how this thing works. And we see that he did it the human way right here because in Acts ten thirty eight, you don't have to go there. I'll read it. Now god anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy spirit and power who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil for god was with him.
