[1434.66 --> 1435.46] I said this boldly |
[1435.46 --> 1435.92] in the 9 a.m. |
[1435.92 --> 1437.14] I think it's Matthew 14. |
[1437.54 --> 1438.60] It's the story of Jesus |
[1438.60 --> 1439.60] walking on the water. |
[1439.86 --> 1440.86] And we often miss |
[1440.86 --> 1442.08] the story right before that. |
[1442.14 --> 1442.56] You know what Jesus |
[1442.56 --> 1443.48] is doing right before |
[1443.48 --> 1444.26] he walks in the water? |
[1444.94 --> 1446.24] He's on the mountainside |
[1446.24 --> 1446.60] praying. |
[1447.24 --> 1448.62] And Jesus is so filled |
[1448.62 --> 1449.84] with the Spirit of God |
[1449.84 --> 1450.84] after he prays, |
[1450.92 --> 1452.24] he's walking on water |
[1452.24 --> 1453.06] and his disciples are like, |
[1453.12 --> 1454.04] how does he do this? |
[1454.20 --> 1455.26] And Matthew is very |
[1455.26 --> 1455.98] intentional to say |
[1455.98 --> 1456.94] it goes from the mountain |
[1456.94 --> 1457.46] of prayer |
[1457.46 --> 1459.08] to the walking on water. |
[1459.72 --> 1460.80] That comes from |
[1460.80 --> 1461.40] the empowerment |
[1461.40 --> 1462.12] of the Spirit. |
[1463.16 --> 1463.50] And church, |
[1463.58 --> 1464.02] let me say this |
[1464.02 --> 1464.74] even more clearly. |
[1464.86 --> 1466.08] What's available to Jesus |
[1466.08 --> 1468.00] is available to us. |
[1469.24 --> 1470.52] Jesus was not upset |
[1470.52 --> 1471.58] by him going to be |
[1471.58 --> 1472.02] with the Father |
[1472.02 --> 1472.54] because he knew |
[1472.54 --> 1473.22] the Spirit |
[1473.22 --> 1474.98] would lead the church. |
[1475.50 --> 1476.26] And the door |
[1476.26 --> 1477.38] to the life of the Spirit |
[1477.38 --> 1478.88] is prayer. |
[1480.74 --> 1481.60] This power |
[1481.60 --> 1482.90] is not separated |
[1482.90 --> 1483.66] and given |
[1483.66 --> 1484.32] just to people |
[1484.32 --> 1485.34] who work for the church, |
[1485.72 --> 1486.68] just missionaries, |
[1486.68 --> 1487.70] Bible translators |
[1487.70 --> 1488.34] and pastors. |
[1489.06 --> 1489.82] The gift of the Spirit |
[1489.82 --> 1490.88] is for all of us |
[1490.88 --> 1492.16] all the time |
[1492.16 --> 1493.40] in whatever mess |
[1493.40 --> 1494.10] you're going through |
[1494.10 --> 1495.16] in your life right now. |
[1495.40 --> 1496.18] Do you believe that? |
[1497.06 --> 1498.24] The Spirit of God |
[1498.24 --> 1499.00] is ours |
[1499.00 --> 1500.22] for the receiving. |
[1501.24 --> 1502.12] It's ours |
[1502.12 --> 1503.28] for the transforming. |
[1504.40 --> 1505.16] And the Spirit |
[1505.16 --> 1506.28] is after |
[1506.28 --> 1507.52] our freedom. |
[1509.00 --> 1509.76] I'm struck by how |
[1509.76 --> 1510.72] in Jesus' own ministry |
[1510.72 --> 1512.12] as he comes out |
[1512.12 --> 1513.02] of his time of prayer |
[1513.02 --> 1514.28] on the side of the mountain |
[1514.28 --> 1515.52] often with his disciples, |
[1515.52 --> 1517.16] he has the ability |
[1517.16 --> 1518.36] by the Spirit's leading |
[1518.36 --> 1519.76] to love |
[1519.76 --> 1520.76] and serve in humility, |
[1520.98 --> 1522.04] to resist the temptation |
[1522.04 --> 1522.60] of Satan, |
[1522.80 --> 1524.12] to know what's most important |
[1524.12 --> 1524.78] and what isn't, |
[1524.92 --> 1526.04] and to go into the cities |
[1526.04 --> 1527.24] proclaiming the kingdom of God |
[1527.24 --> 1528.08] in humility |
[1528.08 --> 1529.26] and love. |
[1529.38 --> 1530.20] And again, church, |
[1530.66 --> 1531.70] that same power |
[1531.70 --> 1532.44] is available |
[1532.44 --> 1533.76] to us. |
[1534.40 --> 1535.06] To resist |
[1535.06 --> 1536.10] the temptation of Satan |
[1536.10 --> 1537.14] however it shows up |
[1537.14 --> 1537.70] in our life, |
[1537.86 --> 1539.82] to resist the incredible pull |
[1539.82 --> 1541.12] of the old sinful nature |
[1541.12 --> 1542.44] which is still operative |
[1542.44 --> 1543.00] in our life, |
[1543.00 --> 1543.94] and say yes |
[1543.94 --> 1544.74] to the way of Christ |
[1544.74 --> 1545.52] which is obedience, |
[1546.64 --> 1547.46] self-denial, |
[1547.92 --> 1548.76] and humble service |
[1548.76 --> 1549.24] and love. |
[1549.86 --> 1550.60] That power |
