Notes:
The Miracle and the Message
Healing Should Bring worship, Testimony, and Repentance.
WHEN THERE IS A WORK OF GOD IN OUR DAY, PEOPLE IGNORE IT. PEOPLE DENY THE TRUTH. ST. AUGUSTINE: MIRACLES ARE NOT CONTRARY TO NATURE BUT ONLY CONTRARY TO WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT NATURE. WE ARE SO LIMITED. GOD IS ABLE TO SUSPEND THE NATURAL PROCESS. CS LEWIS MIRACLES. CHRISTIANITY IS BUILT ON MIRACLES: THE GREATEST MIRACLE WAS THE RESURRECTION. IT’S BECAUSE OF THAT MIRACLE THAT TRIGGERS OTHER MIRACLES IN THE CHURCH. THEY HAD EVERYTHIING TO LOSE IF IT WAS A LIE BUT EVERYTHING TO GAIN IF IT WAS TRUE. BUT NOT MIRACLES BY THEMSELVES. BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE GULLIBLE. WHAT GIVES CHRIST A BAD NAME IS WHEN PEOPLE STAGE A MIRACLE BUT THEY ARE FAKE. WE ARE THE MIRACLE. WHAT IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE? HE TOOK A COMMITTED MURDERER OF CHRISTIANS, PAUL, AND CHANGED HIM INTO A COMMITTED DISCIPLE WHO LOVES GOD. THE GREATEST MIRACLE IS TO SEE A DEPRAVED MAN CHANGED.
ACTS 2:42-47 THE CHURCH IS BORN AND PLANTS THE NAME OF THE LORD RIGHT IN THE MIDST OF ENEMY TERRITORY. THE APOSTLES LIVE IN A HEAVENLY CULTURE AND THE CULTURE IS NOT MIRACLES BUT JESUS CHRIST. THE FOCUS IS NOT EXHIBITIONISM, OR MAKING MONEY BUT GIVING IT AWAY. SOMETIMES GOD’S PEOPLE GET CONFUSED BY THE WRONG MODEL. IT’S THE LIFE THAT YOU LIVE THAT MAKES YOU EFFECTIVE. ACTS 3 IS TELLING US THAT OUT OF THE CHURCH, HEALING IS COMING FORTH.
WHAT IS ESSENTIAL IN THE WORK OF GOD? THE ANOINTING AND FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRT, IT DOESN’T MEAN HYSTERICAL BEHAVIOR BUT GOD WANTS TO FILL US WITH THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH THE HOLYT SPIRIT. “HE MUST INCREASE AND I MUST DECREASE.” WHAT PERCETAGE IS YOU AND WHAT’S THE LORD? NOT A BETTER YOU BUT CHRIST IN YOU IS THE END OF THE JOURNEY. TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT TO BE TOUCHY, AND YOU’RE LOVING GOD’S PEOPLE AS IMPERFECT AS THEY ARE. YOU CAN’T BUY THE HOLY SPIRIT. THERE’S NO SHORTCUTS IN HOLINESS.
1-3 SITTING HELPLESS AT THE BEAUTIFUL GATE. WHERE IS HE FOUND? JUADAISM, THE TEMPLE, AND A PARTICULARLY BEAUTIFUL GATE. THERE’S A CONTRAST. BEAUTIFUL BUT AN UGLY LIFE. THIS IS A METAPHOR FOR ISRAEL. WEEK BY WEEK YOU HAVE THE SAME DEFEATED LIFE. HUMAN RELIGION CAN’T MEET HIS NEED. HUMAN RELIGION EVEN AT IT’S BEST CAN’T HELP.
