Pastor Vlad started a new series ENCOUNTER where he encouraged us to seek an encounter with the Holy Spirit. We must treat the Holy Spirit better than Pharisees treated Jesus when he was born.
Message notes:
Once your spiritual life stops stretching, it becomes stagnant.
Sometimes you get prompted, but most of the times you will have to purpose in your heart!
So let each one give as he purposes in his heart 2 Corinthians 9:7
Routines can create revival but if we keep them too long they will put us into a rut.
New routines can birth revival. Old routines can bring you into a rut. If we are in a rut, let's change the routine!
Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” Matthew 2:1-2
The way Pharisees treated Jesus then is the way Pentecostals treat the Holy Spirit now.
Pharisees were familiar, passive, had all the answers, and settled in their ability to explain.
Wise men were fascinated, passionate, had a lot of questions, and sought to have an experience.
1. Encounter with the Holy Spirit begins with right information.
Not every supernatural is scriptural.
Wise men don’t seek spiritually outside of scripture.
2. Encounter with the Holy Spirit is fueled by holy inspiration.
We are surrounded by a cloud of witnesses to run the race Hebrews 12:1
3. Encounter with the Holy Spirit happens by right desperation.
Encounter with the Holy Spirit ruins you for normal.
The reason why the encounter starts so small is because it's never meant to be the only one.
Encounter changes you. Encounters change the world.
