“We are Following Jesus”
Acts 19:2-7 (NKJV)
2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.
When you have been born again the most natural thing for you to want to do is follow Jesus. You will want to follow Jesus in what he has asked of us. its time to grow your faith in Jesus.
Faith relates to the invisible. You can’t see faith, but through your obedience to Jesus, you touch faith. Your faith is being taught when you obey Jesus.
By your faith you must learn how to live in this invisible world of faith.
The first thing I want you to know in your walk of faith, is if you want it to grow you must obey Jesus. You see your faith “isn’t imaginary”. We have, for all our lives, trusted the visible because we see it!
“Now you’re going to touch the invisible, how can you do that. Simple, your faith is from God.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NKJV)
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Another awesome point I want to make here: your faith not only comes from God, but it is also supported by God!
WRITE THIS DOWN
God almighty our Father is the source of our faith!
God the son “Jesus is the word of our faith!”
God the Holy Spirit is the substance of our faith!
This is the Invisible world we live in. the Holy Spirit is teaching you to follow the word of God.
Tell someone I’m following Jesus, “We are following Jesus”
Acts 19: 5-6 (NKJV)
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied.
In a few minutes, I’m going to lay my hands upon you and I will release my faith upon you. And you will by your faith release your faith. And I want you to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of the Holy Spirit.
Tonight, you’re going to touch the invisible. Tonight, there is a supernatural power that’s going to be released in your life. The word is alive and you will learn that through your faith. You can move the natural world by your faith!
When you pray in tongues a supernatural power is released.
When you speak in tongues it’s supernatural. Who understands tongues? “No one but God!” God alone is Supernatural! God, Almighty God. He’s the inventor of your supernatural tongue. There is no one like you but him, you speak and it will sound like him.
“The Spirit he put in you has a voice and you will release this by your faith”
1 Corinthians 14:22 Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe but to unbelievers; but prophesying is not for unbelievers but for those who believe.
