2006-09-03-1830 Pastor Loran Livingston is back!
Returning from a much needed time of rest. This is the 6:30 Sunday evening
September 3rd, 2006 service. Don't miss this one. Pastor is filled
with new fervor and fire for the Lord. He continues from this morning, his talk about the power that is
available to every Christian through the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.Scripture Ref: Genesis 26:15, 18, 19; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4, 2:38-39Topic: Baptism of the Holy SpiritNotes:- Doctrine of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit is under attack- Abraham dug wells, Philistines later filled them so Israel could not drink, Isaac dug them out again- Our forefathers dug wells through prayer, expecting and believing and experienced the power of Pentecost- We see fakery and entertainment and pull away afraid to be associated- People will not come to the cross because of programs and opportunities that we offer, but by the spirit- The difference is apparent when preaching and music is anointed- Jabbering syllables does not compensate for unholy living- The experience must be preceded by repentance, brokenness, desire for holiness and purity- Tongues not for preaching the gospel but for glorification of God- Gift of the Spirit did not pass away; it is for us today- Men live in condemnation; we will always be tempted, but we can live victorious by the power of the Spirit- Crucify the flesh daily; don’t look at your weakness, but at His strength; it’s not about what you do for Him, but what He did for you
