May 26th Sermon Notes:

OPERATING UNDER THE EMPOWERMENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD

Speaker: Rev Elvis Goodman Theme: What are you waiting for Text: Matthew 28:18-20

Matthew 28:18-20
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Wait - to remain in expectation

Waiting can be detrimental to our progress
Move with the Empowerment of the Holy Spirit

In Acts Jesus said wait, having waited now it’s time to go.

Go is an action word. We need to go and let them know God loves them. People are going to receive their healing. Come to church get charged up so we can go out and tell people about the love of Jesus
You must be empowered to get the job done.
Don’t get too comfortable or God will give you a little persecution to get you up and out even in to places you didn’t want to go.

Philip even went Samaria. The Jews regarded the Samaritans as the worst of the human race (John 8:48) and had no dealings with them (John 4:9).
In spite of the hatred between the Jews and the Samaritans, Jesus broke down the barriers between them, preaching the gospel of peace to the Samaritans (John 4:6-26), and the apostles later followed His example (Acts 8:25).

Acts 8:5-8
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached Christ unto them.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.

Do not fear, God has given us this opportunity and the Holy Spirit cannot fail.

Thomas went as far as India the Gospel was spread all over the world.
Do not doubt God we have to go. Together we can do great things. When you got God on your side you have victory.

Your success is God’s Success.

God gets the glory you could not do it on your own.

You have been empowered do something. God sends people to help you make sure you recognize them. Don’t be so selective and loose out on opportunities.

Ask God to give you wisdom and skills, God is saying Go you have been Empowered.
God is opening doors but we are too busy comparing your self with other. Be grateful with what God has given to you and He will enlarge it. Get the job done.

Waiting can open the door for doubt.

When we wait too long it can invite fear and discouragement

Waiting is in love with procrastination. When those two get together you will be going nowhere

What are you waiting for?
Get up and get the job done.

Don’t give up , persevere and you will get things done. Don’t waist any more time, what are you waiting for?
