This is the final installment of our series transcript from last Sunday’s sermon at Cornerstone. If you have missed any of the previous installments they can be found HERE.
Here is our conclusion to the discussion.
The final step towards becoming the church God desires for this time belongs to a group of people called the elders. This is once again from the word I received a week ago.
Elders you are called to mentor a generation in a Pentecost they have never seen, known or experienced. I summon you to bear witness of the times you recall that a new generation may know the way.
You may be old. You may be tired. But if you have seen the past moves of Pentecost in the healing revivals of the 50’s, the Charismatic renewal of the 70’s or the worship revivals of the 80’s 90’s and early millenium, then you must dig back and speak to the power of miracle that you have witnessed because there are little children and young men and women in this church who have never witnessed the power of a move of God.When it comes they won’t understand or know how to tell the real from the fake, the charlatans from legitimate or the wild fire from the Holy fire. You, elders, are being called to speak for them and to them unafraid and undeterred, helping the church to chew the meat of revival and spit out the bones without complaining or creating dissension or fostering unbelief.
Everyone of us who consider ourselves part of the church have a step or a part to play in the revival to come. What is your step?
1.Do you need to be born again? Have you asked Jesus to be your Savior and have you made Him God of your life? Jesus won’t be just a Savior. If He is to save you then He has to be boss of your life too. Have you asked Him to be both? If not then you are not born again yet. If you need to be born again by accepting Jesus as Lord and savior. Hero and boss then pray the prayer found HERE from your heart
2. Do you need to ask God’s help to clean up your act Christian? Are there things you need Jesus to help you fix in your life so that you don’t get burned when the fire of revival comes into the church?
3. Do you need power from on high to help you perform the work God wants you to do? Then Jesus says you need the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Don’t worry about what all that means right now just acknowledge that whatever the baptism in the Holy Spirit is you need it because Jesus says you do.
4.Are you someone who has been in Pentecost for a long time? Have you seen the Holy Spirit move in revival before? Then acknowledge your role in helping those who haven’t seen.
I would love to hear more about the step you are on in the conspiracy!
