The Helper - Outpouring of Truth (notes)

The Helper - Outpouring of Truth

Acts 1:6-8

  • The disciples of Jesus asked;
  • Lord, are You at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?
  • Jesus answers, it is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority.
  • But you will receiver power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses…

In Acts 2 Jesus fulfills this prophecy by pouring out His Spirit upon the 120 believers who were in one accord in the upper room.

When God Restores The Kingdom To Israel it is His Business Not Ours

  • For almost 2,000 years the church has been arguing about this and it has not done any good but divided the church.
  • Jesus will return at the perfect time but all I know is that right before He does, the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit will take place.

Acts talks about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon humanity. Some scholars say that the last days include the church age, which is about 2,000 years.

  • So revival has been happening over and over since the day of Pentecost.
  • Acts is the model for the move of God.

Right Before The restoration of the Kingdom of God the greatest outpouring of the Holy Spirit will take place. Right before major events happen in Israel, an outpouring of the Holy Spirit will take place.

Every Outpouring

  • Gives the church power to reproduce.
  • In Acts 6 we find this principle. The disciples made a commitment to the Word of God and to payer and this caused the disciples to multiply greatly, even a great number of priests were converted.

Acts 6:1-7

What Causes Multiplication of Disciples?

  • Those who become committed followers of the Word.
  • When the leadership dedicates themselves to prayer and to the teaching of the Word of God.
  • This brings revelation (which is truth) to the church and truth brings liberty.

Liberating Truth

  • Comes by the Holy Spirit; the spirit of wisdom and revelation.
  • God’s wisdom is needed today.

Proverbs 1:1-7

The Starting Point In obtaining wisdom and understanding is the fear of the Lord.

  • A reverential attitude towards the Lord is the foundation to a life of wisdom.
  • Wisdom is having quality experience, quality knowledge, and good judgment. It is the soundness of an action or decision with regard to the application of such experience, knowledge and good judgment.

How Do We Get Wisdom To The Secrets of The Kingdom of Heaven?

  • Through discipline.
  • It is like mining for gold or precious stones.
  • The more we get into the Word of God the greater insights into the Kingdom of Heaven we will be given.

The Secrets of…

  • The Kingdom of Heaven are for this life.
  • God will help us to walk in wisdom when we are challenged to believe what God has promised to us.
  • God are poured out in every outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

The Helper - Fire Baptism (notes)

The Helper - Fire Baptism

Acts 2:1-4

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house.

A Breakthrough is a sudden, dramatic and important discovery or development. A significant and dramatic overcoming of a perceived obstacle, allowing the completion of a process.

In Acts we find the birth of the church. 50 days after Jesus died He sent the Holy Spirit.

  1. A sound from heaven.
  2. Heaven filled the whole house.
  3. They saw tongues like fire.
  4. All them are filled with the Spirit.
  5. Began to speak with tongues.

There Are obstacles in the spiritual realm over geographical areas that need a breakthrough so God can come and move with great power and see heaven invade earth.

When God Shows Up:

  • Nothing can stop Him.
  • Everything changes.
  • People are transformed.
  • Heaven invades earth.
  • The battle is over.
  • Miracles become common for the people of God.

On The Day of Pentecost Jesus Birthed His Church

  1. The gates of hell can not stop it.
  2. The church is sent into the whole world to proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom.
  3. The church is empowered with the Holy fire so it can burn until the return of Jesus Christ for His church.

In The Book of Acts

  • We find a sudden, dramatic and important discovery of God’s power.
  • We find God invading the planet with His presence to change the world.

John

  • Gave a prophecy about Jesus Christ. He said, I baptize you water, but one is coming after me, Whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
  • Was the spokesman chosen by heaven who would prepare the way of the Lord Jesus Christ.

John Said:

  • Jesus is the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
  • A man who comes after me has surpassed me because He was before me.
  • I came baptizing with water that He might be revealed to Israel.
  • He saw the Spirit come down from heaven as a dove and remain on Him.
  • The Man on whom you see the Spirit come down & remain is the One who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.

The Birth of the Church is the model for every move of God in history. In every revival we see manifestations of the Holy Spirit. The greatest manifestation of God is the baptism in the Holy Spirit accompanied by speaking in tongues. In the last revival tongues is going to take on a whole new role in the church.

Joel Talked

  • About a great world wide outpouring in which visions, dreams, prophecy and manifestations in nature would be the norm.
  • I believe we have entered that time. The greatest outpouring of the Spirit is happening right now, let’s not miss it, let’s embrace it.
  • We are blessed to be alive during this time, let’s move with God.

In Every Revival

  • Manifestations have caused controversy.
  • In Toronto, people came from all over the world and much was said about the manifestations.
  • The Quakers got their name because they would quake under the power of God.
  • Jonathan Edwards preached and people would scream.

The Helper - Levels of Breakthrough (notes)

The Helper - Levels of Breakthrough

Acts 15:3

After they were sent off and on their way, they told everyone they met as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria about the breakthrough to the non-Jewish outsiders. Everyone who heard the news cheered it was terrific news.

A Breakthrough is a sudden, dramatic and important discovery or development. A significant and dramatic overcoming of a perceived obstacle, allowing the completion of a process.

In Acts we find a sudden, dramatic and important discovery of God’s power, love and presence. What is the process that breakthrough talks about? The church being the Body (extension) of Jesus Christ, becoming the extension of the kingdom of God on earth. When heaven invades earth.

There Are obstacles in the spiritual realm over geographical areas that need a breakthrough so God can come and move with great power and see heaven invade earth.

Dreams Are The Language of The Holy Spirit

Some of you (us) have had dreams over the years that have a prophetic significance. I do not take dreams lightly. Write them down and bring them to me and lets see what the Holy Spirit is saying to us.

I Believe There Are Three Levels of Breakthrough That Speak To Us:

  1. Signs and wonders and miracles.
  2. Intercession and spiritual warfare.
  3. Economic or financial.

There Are Some Places on earth where the church has broken through and the heavens are open and God’s presence is very tangible.

Signs & Wonders

In order to see signs and wonders we must talk about the fact that it is God’s will to heal and perform miracles today. Every believer has the right to see miracles today. A period of great need is coming to the world and it will take people full of God to see miracles touch the needs of people.

Intercession & Warfare

To see a breakthrough in the area of demonic strongholds here, we must engage in intense prayer. We can all get involved in strategic level spiritual warfare. A period of great oppression will happen before Jesus returns so we must take our authority and drive out evil in this place.

Economic

  • To preach the Gospel to the poor we must overcome the spirit of poverty.
  • God is the source of all provision and has the power to give us ability to create wealth to minister to the hurting.
  • What God says about economic breakthrough. Mal. 3:10-12
  • The storehouse of heaven will open for anyone who puts God first in their finances. Deut. 28:1-14

A Breakthrough

  • Is a significant and dramatic overcoming of a perceived obstacle, allowing the completion of a process.
  • There are obstacles in this area that we must overcome in order to see revival.
  • Heaven is invading the planet through the church in places all over the earth right now.

What Can We Apply From What God is Saying To The Church?

  1. We can be assured that God is on His throne and has everything under control.
  2. We can partner with Him by breaking through in the spirit realm to see His dominion invade the planet.
  • Jesus spoke, something happened, because the Word of God constantly flowed from Him. This is evident in the temptation.
  • Jesus responds to satan He said. It is written. Matthew 4:4-10
