Jesus Was a Charismatic? Part 2

Today on some alignment with Jeannie Greer gold one is this Jesus depended on the powers as I did, miracles, prophecy, and preached how he prayed resistance and I resist Satan. If Jesus depended on the power the spirit. How much more should your host's begin experimenting with electricity in the 1800s, a whole new world of possibilities opened this incredible power source always existed but they'd never before been able to type into it today. Pastor JD describes a power source that you and I have access to transform your spiritual life and leave you to a whole new world of possibility. As always, you can catch up on previous messages by going to JD career.com but now dive right in the power that runs throughout the Bible.I want you to be able to tap into, so that whether your parent your children loving your spouse sharing Christ with the person you work with or learned how to deal a seven-year-old life you're not basing this on your own. You are tapping into the limitless power of God that is at your disposal. That is what it means to be a charismatic, identical associated with the repayment in one stream of the church just means that we live and move in the power of the spirit today what I want to try to show you is that Jesus operated in the power of the spirit, the gospel of Luke.

Luke goes to Great Lakes to show you that one of the themes that runs through the gospel of Luke is that the miraculous stuff that Jesus did the source of his power was the Holy Spirit. Now I know that a lot of you hear that your initial reaction as well about the source of his power was the fact that he was God, yes. But Luke goes to great lengths to show you that a lot of the miraculous stuff, but he did. Whether that's healing seen in the people's hearts preaching and praying with power resisting said that he did in the power of the spirit. The Bible teaches us in places like Philippians 2 something called become gnosis and what it means literally is the empty means that when Jesus was on earth he emptied himself. Paul says in Philippians 2 of access to his God's not begging me that he ceased to be God. It just means that at times he limited himself. You limited access to his God power is the question. If Jesus limited access to his God. This, how did Jesus do a lot of things that he did. Luke's answer is the power of the spirit and that is great news for you why because you were born the son or daughter of God. Jesus did not do what he did in the power of God as he limited his access to that he did in the power the spirit about the same access as a power that you have access to. See Luke wrote the gospel of Luke and he also wrote one of the book of the book of access right matching go together as one unit and what Luke does in Luke and acts as he draws these parallels between the experiences of Jesus and the experiences of the early church and shows you that both are experiencing in strikingly similar ways, the power, the spirit, Luke draws a number of different parallels between things that Jesus would do in the power. The spirit in the same identical things of the church were doing the power of the spirit. There's a handful of them okay no job that miracles be A miracles, but Luke 517 Jesus heals a paralytic, but in Luke's account of this miracle. He includes the strangest little phrase 570 in the power of the Lord was present to heal not just reimburse me like that. Of course it was present to heal. Jesus was there but what Luke is showing you is that there was a power that was Jesus would tap into the power the Holy Spirit and when the Holy Spirit power was there. Jesus would use that power to heal on the same way. In the book of acts, the power, the spirit comes upon the church at different times, enabling them to do some pretty miraculous things sometimes is to interpret tongs. Sometimes you see in the heaven all is able to power the spirit accepted 13 says the blind when the people is about the persecuted the spirit of God teleports Philip across the desert, all kinds of righteousness of miracles, just like a big prophecy prophecy by prophecy I mean speaking God's blessing in the people's lives or making God's plans known to other people what she brought Luke is that is that the spirit of God comes on the various people and God gives them wisdom and insight in the speak in the somebodies likes of the God within them out when you see it happening and actually see, for example, when equipment when the Holy Spirit baptizes the church it says that the first thing to do is to begin to prophesy and Peter stands up and says this is what the prophet Joel prophesied about all you you would at this sons and daughters would prophesy you see all these places throughout after the spirit of God comes on somebody and they say this is what God wants you know right now I'm a was miracle you from cc preaching pretty. Luke chapter 4 verse 14 says about Jesus before his first sermon, and Jesus returned in the power the spirit to Dowling and what he does.

He preaches a sermon the same language is used when people in the early church preached, Peter was filled the spirit asked to preach and 3000 were say Peter and John asked for were filled with the spirit, and they preached and defended what was going on in the church at seven says that Stephen was filled with the spirit and he preached a sermon that ended up with him being stone not stone like a drunk simple stone like the box, just that and that sermon was used by God to convert the apostle Paul. Jesus told the apostles. In fact, they were to depend on the spirit that he preached with when they preached – a diversity couple weeks ago for my favorites is about Luke chapter 12 verse 11 and when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities. Do not be anxious about how you should defend yourself and what you should say for the Holy Spirit will teach you that very hour what you want to say this is by the way, this is what I'm muttering to myself there on stage going on the bumper think the end I usually muttering to myself something I will say this once, Melissa, Mike, Mike, I believe the problem was.

I believe her voice. I believe that I will always hear him say that over and over myself and remind myself that when I stand up here that I have absolutely no ability to do anything in your life. I cannot set you free. I cannot build your faith, I cannot show you got the spirit of God has to do is Holy Spirit of God gives us the ability to preach and teach what they were doing from the stage with a redoing it with her children, one along the coffee shop with a friend right. Here's D enacting justice and acting justice. Luke 418, Jesus started his first sermon, like best lesson the spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives, the recovering of sight to the blind set at liberty those who are oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Overall this thing to be talking about what some people call justice what others call mercy. It's getting involved in the pain of people's lives and setting them free from oppression and healing them where they hurt. I thought Peter summarized, by the way, Jesus ministry activities as Jesus went around Israel doing good and healing one the same way the apostles themselves use the power of the spirit to set captives free action or proceeding to accept 16 is an example of holders in the Philippi. There's a servant girl. There, the servant girl has a demon and evidently was an entertaining demon because the people who own the servant girl etc. like a circus act toward people admission, they could watch her get a fault of the mouth and say, crazy things to Paul sees this goes over to her, he cast the demon out of her which delivered her spiritually and economically right that was with the spirit of God came upon Paul to do in the same way he comes on you when you are involved liberating people from injustice and liberating them from captivity liberating them from paying you are at least you can be filled by the spirit of God. That's what I told Matt to my kisses all the time I'm like you know what, when, when you at school are sticking up for somebody that is being picked on by.

At that moment the spirit of God wants to feel you wants to use you because that's the spirit that Jesus possess a set captives free. He spoke liberty people like the people. And when you get involved with the oppressed.

You have a special access to the spirit of God enable injustice on here's D filling with joy for things going with filling with joy.

Luke 1021 Jesus says in that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit.

Have you ever rejoiced in the Holy Spirit asked to says that when the spirit of God came upon the first church. The result was a sense of awe they came upon every soul and a sense of gladness that filled their hearts jump to verse 42 to the spirit of God in Jesus's life and church life is giving them a sense of gladness and exuberance and joy. By the way, when a person is filled with the spirit. One of the first characteristics and signs of bad is joy when a church is filled with the spirit, its services are characterized by joy.

Yes, sure, there are times of solemn reflection. There's times of silence there tied to the church that we ought to devote to repentance and mourning, but the dominant motif of biblical worship is joy. Psalm 100 come into his presence with thanksgiving and into his courts with praise.

Psalm 3527. May those who delight in salvation shout for joy. Galatians chapter 5 be filled with the spirit singing and making melody in your hearts to the Lord singing heart is a happy heart. Psalm 1611 in your presence. God is fullness of joy at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. You cannot tell me you are in the presence of God.

If you are not overflowing joy is always there worship services are to be characterized by exuberance and shouting and joy say well it's not my personality really joy is not your personality.

Baloney and I woke up to you this weekend. I'm okay. Have a message to give to you, it's that you won the lottery $250 million and wanted you.

Our campuses can be like well, praise the Lord to be filled with joy. Aren't you breezy or not joyful and worship is evidently put more value on $250 million, which can buy you a lot of junk but can't really do anything for you eternally more joy on that than to be the salvation of God which is priceless, which endures forever. If you understand how rich the treasure we possess in Jesus Christ our Lord than what will happen is you will be characterized by joy. Yes there are times of morning. There are times repentance.

Their times of lamentation, but they are over shadowed by joy in God. Psalm 3527 made those who delight in salvation shout for joy at the command folks. That's not a suggestion that's not single out one type of personality. I filled them with joy is less what Luke and acts, the fullness of the Holy Spirit is given in answer to request/parallel giving in Luke chapter 3 the beginning of Jesus ministry is says of the Holy Spirit came down upon Jesus like a dove. As he stood praying.

Luke chapter 3 verse 21. Same thing happens at the beginning of acts. Jesus ascends backup Avonex 110 and tells them to wait for the spirit so you have a way to go. Acts 114 in the upper room and they pray and they pray for 10 days and then accepted to the spirit of God comes upon them. Then Peter preaches of 3000 people got saved to catch up on the way they go pray for 10 days. Peter preaches we do certain things about 10 minutes. They pray for 10 days Peter Prichard for 10 minutes and 3000 people get saved now. We pray for 10 minutes. Please for 10 days and free people get saved just to get the zeros in the wrong place. Same thing happens and ask for the early churches in a prayer meeting and godsend. The spirit so powerfully that the place is shaking. I love Jesus impact in Luke this is what you get a notice instructs the church how to pray for the Holy Spirit is like always.

There's got to give an answer to prayer. Luke chapter 11. I love this verse will my favorite verses, Jesus spoke with father among you, if his son asked for a fish once of the fish give him a serpent asked for nag. Give him a scorpion is a logical question that your parents marry you parent you get Ashford chicken nugget. You know there's a tarantula course. Now you love your kid, you don't communicate effort to give a tarantula so what will Lord Jesus says is your father that heavenly father by the way, he says your evil compared to him. Your evil God is good.

So if you would give your kids something good when they asked for it you would like the perfect father.

When you ask for, you see it.

The Holy Spirit is going to hold that from you. By the way we interpret that verse to be about all different kinds of prayer. And that's okay. I think you can apply to all different kinds of prayer.

But you see what he has and buying specifically what he tells you to pray for something you talk about the Holy Spirit.

You can apply it to get the raise at work is all my God's goodness in your life that you shouldn't overlook what he's really saying here and that is what he's expecting you to be praying for is the Holy Spirit, because ultimately the Holy Spirit the greatest gift I could ever give to you as to what you are doing is you are pray like Jesus prayed her pray like the apostles prayed and God is giving you the manifestation and the outpouring of the Spirit. When is the last time you craved so badly to be filled by the spirit of God, that you pleaded with God for its I saw them in the point what what is your point.

The whole point is this Jesus depended on the power the spirit as I did miracles tied to prophecy I preached. I prayed daily resistance and I resist Satan. If Jesus depended on the power the spirit. How much more should we give Jesus depended on the power the spirit. How much more should we sleep some at church. I never saw this I thought Jesus did all that Jesus did out of his old God miss you and I may need to be alive every bring somebody in the gospel that we are you that is your God son of God and the son of Winnie Terrell so you got one up on me. Jesus limited his access to his God miss any operated in the power the spirit in which shows you that so that you can see that you have access to the same power that he did.

But… Not even just a new thing with Luke even the images that Luke uses in acts for the Holy Spirit are images that go all the way back to the Old Testament. Two main images for the Holy Spirit and in acts. One is fire one is wind right fire you have the Holy Spirit comes on their head like a like a ton of fire. Fire was how the Israelite people always sold the presence of God to the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire led them by date or fly by night skews me when it went. When the glory of God.

Connecticut got his fire when Moses was called. It was a burning bush, which you burn on the bush. We didn't consume the Bush now they gotta fire their head, but evidently not consuming their heads because they'll say live right. Sue said it was an image in the Old Testament wins that with the wind was how to remember God spirit opened up the Red Sea to the crossover and dryland that wind that rushing wind is coming into their souls, what Luke is trying to show you is this is not something for one style of Christian one branch of the church. This is something that runs in the whole Bible bowl Bible has this one major theme Zechariah 46 not by might not by power but by my Spirit, says the Lord. John 55. Apart from me you can do nothing. We start reading the Bible to sway and even help you kids actually do. We have about this.

You look in the book of acts. He doesn't get ends it with the periods of… Paul's and in a prison in Rome awaiting execution. Yet the gospel spread out the couple whole world and looks like that's a good place and it put. Was about to ends like one of the Dukes of Hazard that absurdities the wife of Beaulieu Dukes in the middle in midair was commendable. Good.

Now I gotta come back next week and by the edges. It doesn't hit its way ask is it just ends. Why because the spirit of God is like this rushing river running through the Bible this wind is blowing to the Bible and Lucas ends up saying this almost that what he did tell David that what he did tell Sanson that what he did have a lot to do what he did tell me my did what he did is all Malachi did what he did is how Jesus did what he did.

It's all Peter did what he did. It's all Paul did what he did. It's how I got was that what he did.

Its outlook is that what she did. It's how you do what you some of you have never experienced this kind of power because you thought Christianity is basically a moral code to be conformed to its set of documents to be learned, and it is some of the things, but so much more. You can't read the Bible does some this is not a great analogy, but bear with me when I read the Bible always think of like the story I heard several years ago about these Japanese fishermen who were discovered about 50 miles off the coast of Japan hanging on two different pieces of the wreckage of a ship date Japanese Coast Guard pick them up and the Japanese guys were complaining about a cow attacking them from heaven and scope the Japanese authorities said will clearly you got me lying to us because counsel attack people from having faith.

They thought he got surely have any drug runners or maybe they're doing drugs while they were running drugs and that's what making them talk this way so they put them in prison with him about a week later, a group of American Marines, sheepishly came forward after they heard of this incident so we might be able to explain this process okay so we are taking our our B-1 bomber was taken off.

Along these little islands over here is very rule islands got, you know, an airport or your runway on it and as we are ambling down the runway. This cow just got ambles across the runway to it were like hey you know all we had to either these MRAs build ready to eat, and so were sick of those things also want to be able to get our next destination. Have a nice fresh steak so they went to get this cow like River divisible mind of a put it in there on their B-1 bomber, and they put in the cargo area.

Specifically, the bomb area and they set at about 32,000 seats. The counter started racing similar to what that would maybe it unites the air pressure. Whatever the Cal lost its mind mad cow and so we do know what to do so is that we just opened bomb doors and brought agile 32,000 feet. This cow dropped through the atmosphere now I tell this tournament is no way this can be true, but I read on the Internet. Y'all and Stephanie that's true and so is Jaffe fish like you have for springlike. I think that's a cow is not Calvin. It's their boat distributor boat. I know it's true not be. Here's what I think I will not always think some as I read the Bible that it's like I'm like that cow in her support Kali's wonderful software. This grass is my little business and walks in the midst of this runway that has greater power than he has ever known was possible and he gets taken up the heights that if you know existed dropped that the cardinality didn't work but but I feel like I feel like I feel like I thought.

Sometimes I'm reading the Bible and you see this spirit moving through and it just ends in accurate like… Whichever you can arrange now spirit of God to use you was for God and your family was very got your city in your campus. You work God being God and me in the bags all the way through the never taste like that's my point point for you Jesus minimus.
