Sunday, June 20, 2010How the Holy Spirit empowers the church to grow in every way
In Acts 9 we read that the church was strenthened and encouraged by the Holy Spirit and grew further in numbers. Looking at how the church is gathered, strengthened and encouraged by the Holy Spirit, the Scripture shows that:
- A gathered, connected church is a growing church
- A strengthened church is a growing church
- A church that knows where to find and share encouragement is a growing church
Not What We Do, But Who We Are
OUR Christian identity as children of God is spelt out clearly in 1 John 3: 1-3. Familiar though this passage may be, the concept passes us by – until we look at what it means to be CALLED a child of God, to CARRY OUT our assignment in this world as those having that heavenly authority, and to live in the CONFIDENCE to put the enemy to flight and destroy barriers facing our lives and the lives of others. To add flavour, the PowerPoint that goes with this preach includes images of Blenheim Palace, and a Challenger 2 tank, the fastest tank in the world over rough territory. An empowering and prayer-warfare inspiring message.
Jesus – The Person, the Power and the (Prayer) Process
HOW well do we really know Jesus, the person? This message from Philippians 2: 5-11 lloks at how Jesus let go of his divine nature and authority to live and minister on earth as one of us. The Holy Spirit who empowered Him is the same Holy Spirit who empowers us. Once we abdicate from our own sense of power and position, the real power and authority is released – as Jesus modelled for us. Then we can see that power dealing with all the doubt and deception the enemy sows in people’s minds, particularly in pre-evangelism where we have to break down barriers and strongholds of distrust, unbelief and confusion. There is a short model prayer which illustrates how this is done.
