Silent Sermon

SILENT SERMON

A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly, suddenly stopped coming to church. After a few weeks, the Pastor decided to visit.

The Pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his Pastor’s visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace and waited. The pastor made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the Pastor took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone.

Then he sat back in his chair, still silent. The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one lone ember’s flame flickered and diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and lifeless. The Pastor glanced at his watch and realized it was time to leave. He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow, once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it.

As the Pastor reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek, "Thank you so much for your visit and especially for the fiery sermon. I shall be back in church next Sunday."

"Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." — Matthew 5:16

Clothed in the Spirit

As I read about being clothed with the Spirit Matt.22:12 came to mind could it be the church needs to be clothed in the Spirit  for the Rapture ....The coming of Christ...

I cannot forget Matt. 22:12 ¹²And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless.

Luke 24:49 And behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you; but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued (clothed upon) with power from on high.

God will clothe you with the Spirit of promise

Judges 6:34a But the Spirit of the Lord clothed Gideon ( amplified Bible)

Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothed the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith...

this  verse is so much greater to know that He  promises to clothe us Spiritually

Zech 3:3-4 Joshua's , High Priest, garments were filthy, so God said take away the filthy garments from him and I will clothe him with a change of raiment.

When we enter into His rest ........as we are clothed with the Spirit....... the change takes place.

2 Cor.3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

After the Spirit takes possession of us ..He will start to flow through us.

Acts 1:8a But ye shall receive power after the  Holy Ghost is come upon you

Let us all be clothed with the Spirit and walking in Power and ready for our King....

His Presence

In the presence of the Lord is fulness of Joy - His presence is all you need - the presence of the Lord - preserves, protect, heals, delivers, renew's, revives, restores, empowers, graces, equips, anoints, appoints, strengthens, quickens ............it's all in His presence ....RHB

Ps. 133:2-3 How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion, For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore

Leviticus 1:9 It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the Lord...

Standing on God's Word.....all things are possible.........

Hebrews 11:1-3 Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony, By faith we understood the the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible....

John 5:19 Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

Ps16:11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy Presence is fullness of Joy;at thy right hand there are pleaures for evermore........

God reveals Himself to those who seek Him....Deut. 4:29

The indwelling presence of God is given to all who believe......1Corn 3:16

We are carriers of the Flame .......living Flames of Fire.......

Hosting His Presence

This is the first in many teachings about

                                                                                      

  Hosting the Presence of the Lord

We are living sacrifice.....Leviticus 1:13 Then the priest shall bring it all and burn it on the altar; it is a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, a sweet aroma to the Lord. 

We are a fragrance of Life.... 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing. To the one we are the smell of death; to the other, the fragrance of life.

We will release rivers of living water...Isaiah 43:18-21 Do not remember the former things, Nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness And rivers in the desert.The beast of the field will honor Me, The jackals and the ostriches, Because I give waters in the wilderness And rivers in the desert, To give drink to My people, My chosen, This people I have formed for Myself: They shall declare My praise.

We must be desperate for Him...Ps.27:4 One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord, And to inquire in His temple

Giving Him Praise..... 1 Chronicles 29:11 Yours, O Lord is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and the earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and Yours it is to be exalted as Head over all..

Worship in Spirit and in Truth.....Philippians 3:3 I am the true circumcision, who worships God in spirit and by the Spirit of God and exult and glory and pride myself in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence or dependence (on what I am ) in the flesh and on outward privileges and physical advantages and external appearances.

During these teachings I will share what I have learned about each step ....Be Blessed.....

He has Risen........

What does it mean to you that the Lord Jesus Christ has risen?

It means new life to the believer ... forgiveness of sin.....It means our soon and coming King....

our pathway to the Father.......our Redeemer lives.....A living King.. He seeks those who are lost and brings them back into the sheep fold... He sent His sweet Holy Spirit to live inside us and His Presence with us daily to comfort and keep us in all our ways.....

A King awaiting His Bride..... A Helper in the time of need...a Intercessor for our life......a Forgiver of sin....

a Help in time of trouble..... a breath of fresh air ......a River that flows ...... and Everlasting life...

Resurrection Life....cleansing Blood ........Healing...Wholeness....Victory.......

Great Grace....Holiness......

Courage...... Confidence.....Control......Authority and Anointing...

God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving us His Son as a sacrifice for our sins. He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisifed for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit!

He has Risen!
