The Power of the Kingdom, Part 2

Instead he did nothing change because there is no Dr. Tony Evans talked about what life is like when we really connect with God and his strength everything celebrating 40 years of faithfulness.

This is the alternative Dr. Tony author, speaker, senior pastor of Oakland Bible Fellowship Dallas, Texas, president of the alternative, no matter how much we desire to be a kingdom. Christian none of us has the power to actually do it unless we get it from God's joy Dr. Evans as he tells us how that can happen in churches is Paul that will what is missing is Paul one with his followers with him years they have seen is my, my goodness seen people rise from the Jesus Christ's Jews would make commencing pranks. Let me see the nail prints in his with one day will walk right through the Jesus is exactly I could do exactly what he said he could do a study with things concerning the kingdom of God when talking about God and his role he gave his apostles orders the instructions the governance guidelines rate underneath his butt. He throws a curveball to study articles, after all the things that they saw 40 days by the risen Christ not doing anything until they receive 40 days anywhere. Don't do anything you you receive comes from one source. The Holy Spirit verse eight, upon you and the Holy Spirit. With making sure we know we the spirit of the Trinity, that is God the father, God the son and God the Holy Spirit.

The Bible says is only one God, but one God is composed of three coequal person, God sent Jesus into the world to give a manifestation of what God is like when the Holy Spirit into the world to carry on doing that. It says in verse three things concerning the kingdom of God. God was supposed to work through his people to come through this that I'm going to send John 14 John 16 you are not one of the same, he will be just like me have the same ability to have the same problem will represent me just represented the physically during my 33 represent me experience Jesus today is the Holy Spirit in your life. You do not experience Jesus apart from the spirit of Christ is the Holy Spirit. The spirit means that all of a spiritual perspective on things.

That is God's way of thinking dominates you feel full of God's way of thinking and reacting you for bringing God's perspective to bear the spiritual perspective on everything. Most Christians visit the spirit that not all of the spirit based the spirit okay social drinkers every now and then clicking drink so much of the spirit is where the victory of the spirit that is a long way.

The problem is not spiritual, that when spiritual people based on biblical thinking that we might think that makes Jesus spiritual people want to place you on everything you do will know there's no problem. You will see changes you will see the supernatural breakthrough in your life you will see God overcome things for you. You will be adding program, just because you're not the spirit to express his but you shall receive comes upon you, and so what we wind up doing is dependent on the flesh, the flesh of our human ability to spirit, but we need to solve this problem deal with this issue. Fix this and you'll do the best we can.

We call our friends and help me do the best we doing the best we can get flash met with a chainsaw chainsaw chop down trees chainsaw to track down trees and warm up so we went on the chainsaw. He came back 10 hours lately with this thing couldn't even get 1 Free Shot Ct. pulled the cowboy noise chainsaw was shopping and sweat sweat.

Here's Tony's station, you can give it what you call will accept anything you will most regulating and take on some demands on diesel, when his dad's because your engine won't receive give God what God can't receive 1 pound and what we bump in along with the law because we have given the Holy Spirit something you can use. That's why when you go before God. You have to go before God and allow him to tell you what he will accept what you want if you can accept is really is a great verse. This is a great verse is Luke chapter 11 verse 13 says this is if you mean evil, know how to give good gifts to your children.

You are asking kingdom would be the everyone will ask what happens.

Verse eight. In closing he says you received following those birds come upon you, and you shall be my witnesses and you shall be my witnesses saying you shall do witnessing that you will be witnesses. That's going behind your role. You don't have to tell people to talk about the cowboy's you have to push in their sports fan and they live in Dallas will talk about it when you don't want to hear. You know why because they been baptized in the been baptized, that they been immersed in it. And so it just comes out because that's what they're thinking about. That's what they're talking about. You have to come up with.

You have to schedule a cowboy talking time you have to make an appointment to talk about things because that's how you will if you will, sports fan and you live in this area.

He says you will be met with what in acts chapter 2 it says that they begin to speak in other languages says everybody spoke a different language that they had not learned all the people heard it in their own language and can the Christ.

So in this case tongs is a language that somebody can speak is not this thing that only you and God knows if you have a private prayer language that you and God use – God speaks to you that way. God bless you. That's just not for public consumption because what was public consumption. Folk understood not just you understood the point is though language is not the point. The point is, they could do something they couldn't do before. The point was right. This is not what God would send the spirit you will create will kill Jesus rose from the dead.
