TRANSCRIPT
Acts 2:1-4When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Revelation 21:5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. (NKJV)
Joel 2:12-1312 “Now, therefore,” says the LORD, “Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” 13 So rend your heart, and not your garments;
Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.
Job 42:10 And the LORD restored Job’s losses when he prayed for his friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
The most important restoration God wants
to do in your life is restoring your
relationship with Him.
Restoration in the Resurrection
• II Cor. 5:17- 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.
John 20:20-2220 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
They did not receive the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. They
already had the Holy Spirit within them. They were
baptized (immersed) in the Holy Spirit at Pentecost and
thereby empowered for service.
There was more that God had for the
disciples after the resurrection just as
there is more that God has for you!
Personal Restoration of Pentecost
• The design of fellowship with God in the garden (Genesis 3:8).• Man was originally led by his spirit
not the flesh or soul (I Thess. 5:23, Gal. 5:16-18, Romans 8, et al). • The fall of man cut off the
communion and communication with God (Genesis 2:16-17).
Personal Restoration of Pentecost
• Pentecost was God’s continuation of restoration (Acts 2:14-21, Joel 2).• Empowerment by the Spirit Himself.• Everyone was given another
language to worship God with.
Praying in the Spirit
• I Cor. 14:2 when a person speaks in tongues he/she speaks to God (The public use of tongues for a message vs. private for prayer and worship. This is the same gift in different application).
Praying in the Spirit
• I Cor. 14:5 “What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.”
Praying in the Spirit
The gift of speaking in tongues restores perfect
communication in prayer and worship
Praying in the Spirit
• Romans 8:26-27 “26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
Praying in the Spirit
• Romans 8:27 “…He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.”
Praying in the Spirit (praying in tongues) prays
the perfect will of God.
Personal Restoration of Pentecost
Letting your spirit rule
instead of your flesh (Galatians 5:16-18)
Acts 2:1-4When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:14-1714 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words. 15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. 16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: 17 ‘And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, That I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh;…’”
Acts 2:38-3938 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.”
