Preaching at Pentecost

Thursday, 05 May 2011 16:06

Many times at the beginning of the Christian walk, misrepresent a series of testimonies, paradigms, doctrines, signals. It begins to differentiate people who are committed to God who have made a commitment and heart is like good soil where the seed fell (the word) and begins to sprout, and unlike those who only reflect convenience, and who sought only momentary satis-factors to remedy a temporary emotion. A God all the Lord has prepared his reward. There are also many other people as the word in Matthew 13.19-22 . They do not understand the word and not seek to understand, do not want to be told, there are others who are those who hear the word and joy is in their heart but suddenly come adversity, affliction and persecution and say "no longer I want more of God "and the latter are those who prefer things in the world, wealth, vainglory, the desire (for work by the morning, what people think) and this stifles the good word that is planted in his heart, these last things are called: thorns, briers. The Lord Jesus said absolutely, he differentiated what were the people who came to hear the good news. But this time we are talking about a more comprehensive because we need to reach the culmination, the final fruit ripening and must take the word of God: Making Ministers of Fire, do men and women filled with the Holy Spirit Power . That is why he speaks and divided his preaching in specific parts.

First, its biblical foundation, based on Isaiah, after whom it was told: You brood of vipers! Repent or perish, then your application: "... if you will repent, be baptized and do works meet for repentance ..." and all this is the beginning of the entry in an immaterial realm, a realm beyond our human senses and perverse because by doing this you will live and you will save both yourself and those who hear you ... because once it becomes daily spiritual, our next level is: Being Baptized in the Holy Spirit and Fire.

It's a hard way, yes, there are a lot of adversity, yes, there is pain and anguish, yes, but more powerful is the one you than the one in the world ... and the reward is infinitely superior and blessings are better and life you express is also a reflection of the love of God ... being there is to live at a higher level moved by the anointing of the Holy Spirit, knowing that you can be used in ways imaginable equipped in-peace, love, faith ... is the exploration of a spiritual world in a moment of communion, understanding of mysteries and doctrines, is to live filled with the wonderful presence of a being in-just perfect ... it be an instrument of power, is to be the spatula to create beautiful finished the mud ... is hope to one day ride that white horse behind which is mounted to be more wonderful than you ever did and that its radiant white robe dipped in blood carries the legend: King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

John the Baptist knew, what he preached, it was announced ... he was unworthy even to tie down strap on your shoes, foul proclaimed even to dust off their feet, and even saw the humility with which Jesus Christ comes knocking at the doors of hearts, with every word, with every inch, with every look of love, affection, with his comfort. The Lord Jesus told John, "... leave now, for thus it must fulfill all righteousness ..." a symbol of humility!, A symbol of meekness!, Brothers because not many days we will be in the presence of this attitude, these same words for hearts and minds ready to be endued with power from on high. Hence the word: "Many are called, few are chosen ..." and also says: "For you is the promise, and to your children and for all who are afar off, as the Lord our God shall call." But there are conditions, the only constraint is not the salvation that Jesus offers to your life, for salvation is just believe and confess, that's not conditioning, but for the power, the gift is nothing yyy brothers I talk to more children, I hope to be talking to those who have made their final decision on the surrender to Jesus Christ and live in humility and gentleness, for you, your children, for us is the promise. He promised to send the Paraclete, and he complied, but even promised that the Paraclete would fill and anoint power to those who had to qualify, and here they are: Lucas c.3, v. 4 "... direct your path, all pride, all pride is trampled and discarded, and the crooked be made straight, the rough paths of evil are clean, healed, restored, said the v. Lucas 6, c.3 "And all flesh shall see the salvation of God" to be saved need to repent, says verse 7 and 8: "O generation of vipers Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance ... "Look brothers and so many centuries deluded man lives only by genealogy or history or mitosis or because we are well handsome is believed that salvation would come, NO!, Because people believed that being descendants of Abraham would be saved from hell, believed that by throwing the crumbs to the poor were to reach the Kingdom, NO! Therefore, I asked questions and who has deceived you? ... We must learn to correctly interpret the scriptures and not to our convenience, not to say that this Bible is ideal seemed to injure or to justify my mistake and so I preach, NO! Who taught you that? Do not you know that if you say bad about your brother to support your mistake and try to justify it even worse with the scriptures you're falling into condemnation? Because there will come a day when the Lord tells you on his throne of justice "You said I said ... What, just because you said" The Lord has said so "?... NO brothers Christianity is not a game is not the comidita, is not the schoolhouse, is not the templito, this is a conviction ... this is a certainty, it is to see this live in this the glory of the Kingdom of God ... who has bewitched you not see the truth? Paul told the Galatians ... because first is repentance for salvation, then works worthy of repentance, and not the other way works for salvation and repentance who knows where? Because nobody can be saved by good works but by grace the gift of salvation that Christ offered on the cross, we must take care of our salvation with fear and trembling ... v. 9 says: "And now also the ax is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire." And the Bible says in James 3: "... the fig tree not produce olives, or a vine figs ... "if your heart dwells bitterness and hatred and contempt for your fellow man and even more for your brother that will be your fruit and so you will not receive the gift of the Spirit, but will produce rotting crap, hate bickering divisions ... they do not actually love God and make God a liar's word by saying: "... I love God ..." but in your heart you hate your neighbor, because of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, that is your fruit, you can disguise a lemon or a grapefruit peel melon or figs, fruit that look out to try another but can not deceive anyone inside is bitter, sour, and it is understood that kind of fruit is and we read the scripture says that to receive the gift of the need to give otherwise good fruit and the ax is laid on the evil root to be cut and thrown into the fire ... Scripture says explicitly: "... every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire ... "The indubitable proof that you have been baptized in the Holy Spirit is: Speaking in tongues of angels, and if the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, do not think a bitter heart, a selfish life , a life full of anxieties, a person who despises his neighbor, has not even in his heart fire of the Spirit and therefore his mouth can not speak of heavenly things. The Bible is the truth.

Then he makes a break for a score incredible sunset, v. 10-14 this is a sign of a good teacher, this is a sign of a good pastor, this is a sign of a true son of God ... because the message is for everyone who has fallen but the good seed are looking to grow, to flourish and wonder what will we do?, mark it 1, said that is repentance, baptism and then the action, or put another way: pain in my heart that I have failed God, believe in my heart and confess with my lips Jesus is my savior and go to the waters of baptism to give public testimony of my old man has been buried and now the new man washing born and bought with the precious blood of the Lamb and finally do works meet for repentance and to achieve approaching a teacher, pastor, the guide and when someone comes over and question truthfully, it has a faithful response, there is an answer that helps, that builds, not destroys or separates, not an attitude that hurts or is hypocritical, or proud, but gives a fruit that nourishes, feeding and allowed to grow further on the road to get to the promises, to get the gift of God, that's a good teacher, a good shepherd a good leader; not to divide but unites and builds.

And finally we come to that verse that is why this talk: v. 16 "... I indeed baptize you with water, but One mightier than I, who am not worthy to untie his shoes, He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire ..." Q. Who baptized? Jesus Christ, who anointed? Christ, who saves, who heals? Christ. This is where Russell, the followers of the angel Moroni, and other sects do not understand the difference between Jesus Christ, the Word of God and the Holy Spirit, because they degrade the precious person of the Spirit to just an "active force", just "a primary substance of God" to "something undefined" NO! Brethren, the Holy Spirit is a person, someone who thinks, feels and has the will and can never work against the perfect work of Jesus Christ, He is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, He is God and even when we have fully complied with all formal requirements but not by his will, for their sovereignty to give strength, anointing, fire to their children.

There are many other reasons why many spend their entire lives as Christians are not receiving this gift, there are many who do not ask and was given to us, there are others who want for their brilliance or falsity of holy life and others still have lack mature or collect a prerequisite for receiving this wonderful gift.

The most basic at this point, once we've complied with all the things he preached John the Baptist is mentioned by the evangelist Luke: Stay united in prayer, constantly in the temple, obeying and loving one another.

Let's say you qualify to be to reach the door and be able to receive the gift, the baptism in the Holy Spirit, but then you lack any of these basic biblical elements (although they had not set a formalism or an imposition, but all work according to the will of God) then you can not be used by God, but if there is bitterness in your heart or there is a brother or sister who can not stand or see, brother, they still fighting for your salvation, you are still in the first stage you have not met the requirements to be at the door, but if I joined, but may not pray, but I am constantly on the temple, yes, but come to do your will and do not obey ...

When we realize that this is not a game, brothers, it makes sense verse 17 of chapter 3 of Luke "His fan is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and gather the wheat into his barn and burning the chaff unquenchable fire "... when a tree blooms and bears fruit, it must be cleaned, if not the ripe fruit falls to the ground and are often spoiled, then separates the good from the bad fruit and bad discarded, but if the plane does not bear any fruit tree and already paid him and nursed him and still bears no fruit, the ax is laid at its root and is to be cut down and thrown into the fire ... but if A good tree will bear fruit the Lord and cleanse it, and collect and remove all that clutter to be burned in the fire, so you're clean and you come to a fruit rich, abundant blessing ... it all begins for you, it all begins in your heart ... Jesus did not die for commitment, not his precious blood spilled in vain or shine, he did it for conviction, for sure, with a purpose and its purpose was you.

He not only offers a spiritual blessing, or spiritual gifts, but blessings and gifts of materials and land, but first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all else will be added ...

The wheat and tares must grow together so the "blower" on hand who baptizes with the Holy Spirit ... and that instrument is a kind of "oomph" to "pull" and cut the ripe corn and let the weeds that are always erect , she is always right are not living in humble pride, and pride, and left there to be burned, may serve as soil fertilizer, perhaps to fertilize but rarely is any glimmer of life, no memory of its existence because it is burned and consumed, as the tree corrupt, as the evil servant, as is the fate of Satan.

And to conclude, I would tell you a mystery, a fact that can not be understood but we live ... The Lord Jesus baptizes baptizes ... how ...? How often, on, on to the Spirit, with envelope to fire? NO!, He baptized "IN" the Holy Spirit and fire. "EN" means within "" and "EN" you need three key elements: mode, time and place of these three only have perception of two and the third is a mystery: The weather at Pentecost, but in his sovereignty God can do so at any time, place in the temple, in the upper room because the Lord commanded him not to leave Jerusalem but to remain constant prayer in the Temple and in the Upper Room, but in the sovereignty of God can do so at any place, but the third is a mystery because the way they do is only through personal and unique formula of Jesus Christ, unique and personal Holy Spirit and it is only known by living it.

This method is not a conviction, not a manual is a compromise, because the time will come when it happens and then we will realize that this time it was accompanied by a time constant prayer in the spirit, a time of constant praise spirit, a constant time to be blessed in the Spirit, to think of the Spirit to act in the Spirit, to live in the Spirit, doing all things for the Lord and not men, lest we fall into error of the travelers to Emmaus when they realized who was with them was the Lord Jesus said: "... not our hearts burning when we talked on the way and when we revealed the Scripture with humility recognize ?..." he who speaks and who wants to use us is God, the precious Holy Spirit. And in Him and He will have the power, fire, anointing, the glory and power of his majesty Praise couple of his name.

Acts 2.37-39

AMEN
