Sermon Notes
Main Point: We will advance, Totally Dependent on Jesus: Expect the Supernatural and take no Glory.
Pastors Thoughts:
- I believe we are advancing into a season where God will show his supernatural hand to those He can trust.
- Those who will not take the glory.
- When these things begin to happen, expect the supernatural for the purpose of bringing Glory to God’s Kingdom
- People with a secret place with God: praise, worship, and pray in spirit and in truth
- People with a secret place with God: are totally be dependent on Jesus (desperate)
- People with a secret place with God: begin to step into their Calling (ok with being uncomfortable/stretched)
Apostles begin to experience the supernatural in Jesus’ name:
Acts 3:1-16. Peter heals the lame man in Jesus name.
- v6. Peter calls out the name of Jesus for healing
- v11. The people were looking to give Peter Glory for the healing
- v12-13. Peter refuses to take any glory for the healing and makes it clear that the name of Jesus healed this man.
Acts 14:8-18. Paul heals a cripple man in Jesus name
- v11. The people wanted to give Paul Glory
- v14-18. Paul deflects the glory and gives it to God
Do not worship the supernatural
Colossians 2:18. (NIV). “Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions of their unspiritual mind.
- Do not worship the supernatural. Only Worship King Jesus.
- Renew your mind to only give Glory to King Jesus
- Renewing the mind because we will naturally try to take credit or Glory. Carnal mind wants Glory
A call to Advance:
- As the church begins to be totally dependent on Jesus, signs and wonders will follow.
- The supernatural occurs for one reason, to bring Glory to God. He loves us.
- The trumpet is sounding to advance totally dependent on Jesus.
- The trumpet is a symbol of considerable consequence in the Old and New Testaments. In general, it can signify an alarm of war, a call to assemble, or a command to march (see Numbers 10:1-10).
Summary:
- We are entering exciting time.
- God will advance His Kingdom through those who are totally dependent on Him.
- Signs and Wonders will occur through instruments God can trust.
- To King Jesus be all the Glory.
