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.
