We will Advance Totally Dependent on Jesus - Part 6 - Expect the Supernatural and Take No Glory

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.
