Hello Everyone, 1
2 Corinthians 4:7NIV But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
Acts 6:7KJV And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied…
This generation is looking for more than words-they need to see the demonstration of the Spirit’s person, presence, and power.
Speaking in tongues as the initial evidence is just the beginning of the baptism in the Holy Spirit; there is far more to the Spirit’s fullness!
The title of our Life Group Study is “LIFE in the Spirit”.
We will have more influence in preaching about speaking in tongues as the initial evidence if our preaching is backed up by an ongoing demonstration of the Spirit’s POWER.
His power propels the believer into the world with an anointing to witness, a life like that of Jesus-a boldness to heal the sick in spirit, soul, and body, to cast out demons, set the captive free, and to bring good news to the poor.
This is the hour for the church that has experienced Pentecost to proclaim with a new zeal and power the baptism and fullness of the Holy Spirit.
Speaking in tongues is the door that opens to the believer and catapults him beyond the natural into the supernatural.
The baptism in the Holy Spirit is God’s rocket booster to lift us past what the flesh can do and into the orbit of supernatural usefulness to fulfill the great commission.
That was given by Jesus Himself in Matthew 28:19,20 He Said this, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you...”.
Oh How HE Loves Us!
