THE ABILITY TO EXTEND YOUR REACH >> WERE TALKING TONIGHT ABOUT 02:21 OUR IDEAS TO SCRIPTURE PRESUPPOSITION AND IDOL, IDOLATRY OF IDEAS. 02:26 HOW WE CARRY TIS AND OUR MINDS AND HEARTS AND SURRENDER OF OUR HEART AND CONVERSION PROCEEDING 02:32 THAT SURRENDER OF IDEAS. AND THEN YOU SHARE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING FILLED WITH 02:36 THE HOLY SPIRIT. LET'S GO TO THE NEXT NEXT STEP. >> I WANT TO START BY READING 02:41 FROM EPHESIANS CHAPTER THREE VERSE 16 THROUGH 19. THAT HE WOULD GRANT YOU 02:45 ACCORDING TO THE RICHES OF HIS GRACE TO BE STRENGTHENED WITH MIGHT THROUGH HIS SPIRIT IN THE 02:50 INNER MAN OF CHRIST AND MAY HE DWELL IN YOUR HEART. TO KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH 03:03 PASSES KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MAY BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD. 03:09 THIS IS PAUL AND HE HAS SO MANY OF THESE PRESUPPOSITION OF PHRASES IN HERE. 03:15 THE FIRST PRESUPPOSITION OF PHRASE IS THAT YOU MIGHT BE STRENGTHENED TO THE SPIRIT. 03:21 THIS IS ANOTHER PASSAGE THAT WE ARE RENEWED IN THE INNER MAN DAY BY DAY AND SO THE INNER MAN AND 03:28 THIS IS TALK ABOUT SIGNIFICATION BUT DAILY STRENGTHENING OF THE INNER MAN DAY BY DAY, AND IT IS 03:35 THE SPIRIT THAT STRENGTHENS THE INNER MAN. WE PUT IT TOGETHER WITH THIS 03:39 PASSAGE. AND THEN HE SAYS THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS THROUGH 03:44 FAITH. WHEN WE RECEIVE WE ARE RECEIVING CHRIST INTO OUR HEARTS BECAUSE 03:49 WHEN JESUS WAS INCARNATED HE DIVESTED HIMSELF OF OMNIPRESENCE THE ABILITY TO BE EVERYWHERE AT 03:57 ONCE. AND WHEN HE WENT TO HEAVEN TO THE AGENCY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT HE 04:02 WAS ABLE TO BUY REPRESENTATION BE ABLE TO BE IN ALL OF US THROUGH THE INDWELLING OF THE 04:09 HOLY SPIRIT. HERE PAUL PUTS IT TOGETHER, WE ARE STRENGTHENED BY THE SPIRIT 04:12 OF THE INNER THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS THROUGH FAITH. 04:18 IN OTHER WORDS CHRIST IN US, THE HOPE OF GLORY. SO JESUS BEING IN US IS BEING 04:24 MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT. SO WE WOULD LIKE TO INVITE THE 04:28 HOLY SPIRIT TO COME INSIDE OF OUR LIFE BUT BECAUSE JESUS IS INSIDE OF HER LIFE AS WELL. 04:33 HE BREAKS IT DOWN AND SAYS THAT YOU BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE IS THAT THE SPIRIT IS 04:41 POURED OUT INTO OUR HEARTS AND THAT BRINGS THE LOVE AND SO THAT POURING OUT, THE HIGH PRIEST 04:49 BRINGS AND POURS THE OIL AND THAT IS ALSO THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT WHICH IS A LOVE AND JOY 04:54 AND SO IT'S PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER HERE. SO IF YOU WANT TO BE A LOVING 04:58 AND LOVABLE CHRISTIAN, RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, IF YOU WANT TO JESUS IN YOUR LIFE RECEIVE THE 05:03 HOLY SPIRIT. THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE GIFT THAT HAVEN'T LONGS TO BE STOUT BUT 05:07 THEN THERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT HAPPENS, IT SAYS THAT YOU MAY BE UNDERSTANDING. 05:17 REMEMBER, WE TALK ABOUT THE HOLY PLACE EXPERIENCE, THE LIGHT SO YOU CAN SEE, THAT YOU MAY BE 05:22 ABLE TO COMPREHEND. SO WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES INTO YOUR LIFE NOT ONLY DOES 05:27 CHRIST COME IN AND NOT ONLY ARE YOU ABLE TO BE ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE BUT YOU ARE 05:33 ABLE TO SEE. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO COMPREHEND WITH ALL THE SAINTS, WHAT IS THE 05:37 WITS, THE LENGTH, THE DEPTH, THE HEIGHT, TO KNOW, IN OTHER WORDS, KNOW THE LOVE OF GOD WHICH 05:45 PASSES KNOWLEDGE AND YOU MAY BE FILLED WITH ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD. 05:50 HAVING THE HOLY SPIRIT IS SO ESSENTIAL AND WE NEED TO RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT EVERY DAY 05:58 BECAUSE WE LEAK. THAT IS WHY WE NEEDED. WE NEED TO DRINK WATER EVERY DAY 06:09 WE CANNOT DRINK FOR THE WHOLE YEAR OR THE WHOLE MONTH WITH A DRINK EVERY DAY WE HAVE TO EAT 06:13 EVERY DAY WE HAVE TO BREATHE EVERY MINUTE. PREFERABLY EVEN MORE AND SO 06:23 PHYSIOLOGICALLY, WE ARE IN THIS REALM OF DOING THINGS BECAUSE WE ARE DEPENDENT ON A REGULAR BASIS 06:29 AND IT'S THE SAME WAY WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT YOU CANNOT SAY I WAS CONVERTED I DON'T NEED THE HOLY 06:33 SPIRIT ANYMORE BECAUSE I RECEIVED HIM ONCE. WE NEED A DAILY EXPERIENCE WITH 06:37 THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THROUGH THE DAILY EXPERIENCE WE ARE ABLE TO KNOW AND TO COMPREHEND WHICH 06:43 PAUL BRINGS TOGETHER SO BEAUTIFULLY. AND EPHESIANS CHAPTER THREE 06:48 VERSUS 16 TO 19 IS A WONDERFUL SYNTHESIS OF THE WORKING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 06:53 HERE IS THE IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A CONVERTED AND SPIRIT FILLED PERSON TO STILL HAVE IDEAS IN 07:04 THE MIND THAT GOD IS STILL WORKING ON? GETTING US TO SURRENDER? 07:13 IS IT POSSIBLE? BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE, LOOK, I AM A CHRISTIAN, I AM A 07:19 VEGAN, AND I'M DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT. WHATEVER YOU HOLD OFF AS DOING 07:26 EVERYTHING RIGHT. A VERY HEALTHY AND I'VE BEEN A CHRISTIAN FOR 15, 20, 35 YEARS 07:31 AND THEY WERE LIKE AM BEYOND HAVING PRESUPPOSITIONS IN MY MIND AND I AM OBJECTIVES. 07:43 I AM OBJECTIVE. >> THAT IS A PRESUPPOSITION. >> OR WE COULD EVEN ASSUME THAT 07:51 WE DON'T HAVE ANY PRESUPPOSITIONS WHICH IS A WHOLE OTHER PERSPECTIVE AS WELL AND I 07:57 WANT TO SHOW IN OUR STUDY OF THE BOOK OF ACTS HOW PRESUPPOSITION IS MANIFESTING ITSELF IN THE NEW 08:03 TESTAMENT CHURCH BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BOOK OF ACTS, YOU SEE THE CHURCH IN STATE THAT 08:11 WE HAVE NEVER BEEN IN. I BELIEVE THAT THE CHURCH RIGHT BEFORE THE SECOND COMING OF 08:16 JESUS IS GOING TO RECEIVE THE LATTER RAIN WHICH WILL HAVE THE EXPERIENCE OF THE FIRST CENTURY 08:22 CHURCH BUT THAT MOUNTAINTOP EXPERIENCE IN THE BOOK OF ACTS, WE OBTAIN OR WE STRIVE FOR BUT 08:31 WE HAVE NOT YET ATTAINED. THIS IS THE CHURCH IN ITS RELATIVE PURITY. 08:38 YOU KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT? WERE TALKING ABOUT PENTECOST, THE APOSTLES ARE ALL A LIVE, 08:43 PETER AND JAMES ARE WALKING AROUND IN THE FLESH, THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED JESUS, AND I 08:49 NATURALLY HAVE THE PRESUPPOSITION THAT THE FIRST CENTURY CHURCH WHEN THEY RECEIVE 08:54 THE HOLY SPIRIT AT PENTECOST WAS LIKE THE DIVINE AND YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN? 09:03 TOOK ALL THE BAD PRESUPPOSITIONS AWAY AND THEN SUDDENLY IT WAS LIKE HOW MUCH BETTER CAN YOU GET 09:08 THEM PENTECOST? BUT WHEN I STUDIED THE DATA IT WAS SURPRISINGLY DIFFERENT 09:15 BECAUSE I HAD TO LET GO OF THAT PRESUPPOSITION IN REGARD TO THE BOOK OF ACTS INTERESTINGLY 09:23 ENOUGH. I WANT TO GO TO ACTS ONE VERSE SIX HERE AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 09:31 MOMENTS OF THE EARLY CHURCH AND HEAR AND ACT CHAPTER ONE VERSE SIX WE CAN SEE THAT JESUS IS 09:38 ABOUT TO GO TO HEAVEN AND LET'S PICK IT UP IN ACTS CHAPTER ONE VERSE TWO NUMBER UNTIL THE DAY 09:42 IN WHICH HE WAS TAKEN UP AFTER HE THREW THE HOLY SPIRIT HAD GIVEN COMMANDMENTS TO THE 09:48 APOSTLES THAT HE HAD CHOSEN TO WHOM HE ALSO PRESENTED HIMSELF A LIVE AFTER HIS SUFFERING BY MANY 09:53 INFALLIBLE PROOFS BEING SEEN BY THE 40 DAYS AND SPEAKING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND BEING 09:59 ASSEMBLED TOGETHER HE COMMANDED THEM NOT TO DEPART FROM JERUSALEM BUT TO WAIT FOR THE 10:03 PROMISE OF THE FATHER WHICH HE SAID YOU HAVE HEARD FROM ME FOR JON TRULY BAPTIZED WITH WATER 10:08 BUT YOU SHALL BE BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT NOT MANY DAYS LET'S THERE -- STOVE AS THEY ARE 10:18 THE DISCIPLES JUST EXPERIENCE THE CROSS AND WALK WITH JESUS FOR 40 DAYS IN THE FLESH. 10:22 AND WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY BUT IT MUST HAVE BEEN AN EXPERIENCE AND JUST ABOUT TO GO 10:30 TO HEAVEN AND LEAVE THE CHURCH OF THE APOSTLES AND HE SAID IT LOOKS IN JERUSALEM YOU WILL 10:35 RECEIVE THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ACTS CHAPTER ONE VERSE SIX LOOK AT THE RESPONSE. 10:38 THEREFORE WHEN THEY HAD COME TOGETHER THEY ASK HIM SAYING, LORD, WHAT DO YOU AT THIS TIME 10:44 RESTORE THE KINGDOM THE ISRAEL? >> THEY STILL THOUGHT HE WAS COMING AS A KING. 10:54 >> HE IS TRYING TO GET RID OF THIS PRESUPPOSITION. HE SAID MAKING KINGDOM IS NOT OF 10:58 THIS WORLD AND THEY ARE STILL FIXATED ON ISRAEL. >> AND THIS IS AFTER THE CROSS. 11:03 >> THIS IS AFTER 40 DAYS AFTER THREE AND HALF YEARS OF TEACHING IS TRYING TO REMOVE THE 11:08 PRESUPPOSITION IS ABOUT TO GO TO HEAVEN TO LEAD THE CHURCH TO THESE GUYS AND HE'S LIKE I'M 11:12 ABOUT TO GO AND THEY'RE LIKE WAIT A MINUTE NO ARE YOU GONNA DO YOU OVERTHREW TO THE ROMANS 11:18 AND ESTABLISH A POLITICAL EMPIRE AND JESUS MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT? 11:23 I WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE NEVERMIND I AM GOING TO GO. IN OTHER WORDS THE 11:31 PRESUPPOSITIONS ARE STILL THERE. WHICH TELL US YOU SOMETHING. THEY ARE NOT VERY EASILY REMOVED 11:38 THEY ARE LIKE THE PIECE OF GUM THAT KEEP TICKING OF THE BOTTOM OF YOUR -- STICKING AT THE 11:45 BOTTOM OF YOUR SHOW. >> AND HE'S THE BEST TEACHER THEY STILL AND UNDERSTAND AND 11:48 THE LORD IS A PATIENT. AND HE SAID LOOK, IT'S NOT TIME FOR YOU TO KNOW THE TIMES AND 11:53 THE SEASONS THAT HE GOES BACK TO THE HOLY SPIRIT, YOU SHALL RECEIVE POWER AND THE HOLY 11:59 SPIRIT AND HE TAKES THE ACTIVE MISSION BUT THEY STILL HAVE THIS IDEA, THIS CULTURAL 12:05 PRESUPPOSITION IN THEIR MIND IN THE BOOK OF ACTS IN THAT CHAPTER IT'S JUST THERE. 12:14 -- IN CHAPTER ONE. IT'S JUST THERE. OF COURSE YOU THINK CHAPTER TWO. 12:22 >> IT TO THE COMPONENT. HE COULD SAY THIS TOOK PLACE BEFORE. 12:26 >> YOU COULD DO THIS WAS BEFORE. IT'S ALL GOOD. >> WE HAVE ASKED CHAPTER TWO AND 12:30 THEN PETER IS THE PROMINENT FIGURE IN THE EARLY PART OF THE BOOK OF ACTS PREACHING THE 12:38 POWERFUL 3,000 SOULS SOULS WANTED DAY THE HOLY SPIRIT FALLS ON THE CHURCH IS TAKING OFF 12:43 LOOKING FROM 120 UPPER ROOM TO 3,000 PLUS AND THE GOSPEL IS BEING TAKEN TO JERUSALEM AND 12:50 JERUSALEM HAS BEEN TURNED UPSIDE YOU THINK IT'S BEFORE BUT SURELY AN ACTS CHAPTER TO THE HOLY 13:05 SPIRIT CAME DOWN AND YOU THINK IT IS THE THINGS THAT YOU DRAW ON LIKE A ETCHANT SKETCH AND 13:15 THEN YOU HAVE ALL THE STUFF SHAKING IT OUT. AND I THOUGHT ACTS CHAPTER SHE 13:21 WAS A ETCH-A-SKETCH. THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES DOWN AND IT'S GONE. 13:28 THOSE PRESUPPOSITIONS WE HIT THE DELETE BUTTON AND THEY ARE GONE. AND I WAS READING TO THE BOOKS 13:33 OF ACTS AND THEN I HEAR ACTS CHAPTER TEN PAIR A LOOK AT ACTS CHAPTER TEN. 13:39 THE SAME PETER THAT PREACHED THE POWERFUL SERMON ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST AS A SOUL WINNER AND 13:49 ADMINISTRATOR AND APOSTLE AND THERE HE IS HAVING A NAP. IN THE DREAM THIS BLANKET OF ALL 13:57 THESE UNCLEAN ANIMALS COME DOWN. AND THEN ARRIVES PETER AND HE SAYS NO BUT I HAVE NEVER EATEN 14:07 COMMON OR UNCLEAN AND BY THE WAY SOME PEOPLE ASSUME THAT THIS IS ABOUT DIET BUT PETER KNEW IT WAS 14:11 NOT ABOUT TO DIE BECAUSE LATER ON HE COMES TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THIS IS TALKING ABOUT 14:16 CALLING ANY PERSON, OR UNCLEAN SPIRIT AND THEN CORNELIUS COMES AND THEN THEY HAVE THIS DIALOGUE 14:24 AND EACH WITH GENTILES IN THE HOLY SPIRIT FALLS UPON THEM. HERE IS THING, WHAT WAS THE IDEA 14:34 THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS WORKING ON? IN PETER'S MIND? 14:40 WAS THERE A CULTURAL PRESUPPOSITION? THIS IS ACTS CHAPTER TEN. 14:49 HERE IS A PROMINENT APOSTLE THAT IS IN LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH THAT THE GODDESS AS A LOOK 14:53 YOU'RE DOING GREAT WORK, -- THAT GOD SAYS LOOK YOU ARE DOING A GREAT WORK BUT I'M ABOUT TO TAKE 15:01 THIS THE GENTILES PAUL HAS BEEN CONVERTED HE IS BRINGING THE GOSPEL TO THE GENTILES AND YOU 15:05 HAVE SOME CULTURAL IDEAS IN YOUR HEAD RELATED TO PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT ETHNICALLY JEWS THAT I NEED 15:12 TO CHALLENGE. SO HE GIVES THEM THE SUBMISSION AND CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? 15:16 AND HE SAYS, LOOK, YOU CANNOT COMMON OR UNCLEAN. IN OTHER WORDS THE GOSPEL WAS 15:26 JUST AS MUCH FOR THEM AS IT IS FOR THE JEWS. YOU SEE PRESUPPOSITIONS 15:34 CONTINUED TO EXIST IN ACTS CHAPTER TEN. THIS IS THE THING AND ASKED 15:40 CHAPTER 11, HERE A BROTHER IN JUDEA THAT GENTILES TRIED TO RECEIVE THE WORD OF GOD AND 15:52 PETER CAME TO JERUSALEM AND THOSE OF THE SORT OF SCHISM CONTENDED WITH HIM SAYING YOU 15:57 WENT INTO UNCIRCUMCISED MEN AND ATE WITH THEM. THESE ARE JEWISH CHRISTIANS, 16:04 JEWS THAT HAVE CONVERTED TO CHRISTIANITY BUT BROUGHT WITH THEM THESE CULTURAL 16:09 PRESUPPOSITIONS. THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED PENTECOST BUT THEN WHEN PETER EATS WITH 16:14 GENTILES, THIS IS LIKE TOBACCO AND THEY ATE WITH THOSE UNCLEAN. THEY HAVE LEFT -- THEY HAD LIVED 16:35 IN UNPRECEDENTED PURITY BUT THEY HAVE THIS IDEA THAT ONLY JEWS CAN BE SAVED. 16:39 IF YOU LOOK AT ACTS CHAPTER 11 PETER GOES TO THE WHOLE EXPLANATION AND THEN THEY GO AND 16:46 THEY COME TO THIS CERTAIN CONCLUSION IN REGARD TO WHAT GUIDE IS DOING AND THEN THIS IS 16:56 VERSE 18 AFTER PETER'S EXPLANATION WHEN THEY HEARD THESE THINGS THEY BECAME SILENT, 17:00 THEY GLORIFIED GOD SAYING GOD HAS ALSO GRANTED GENTILES REPENTANCE TO LIFE IN OTHER 17:07 WORDS, I GUESS PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT JEWISH CAN BE SAVED AS WELL. THAT IS LIKE LOOK AGAINST THEIR 17:18 CULTURE. >> LOOK AT THE PICTURE, THE COMMUNITY OF FAITH TO THIS POINT 17:23 WAS AND 99 PERCENT JEWISH AND THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH WAS 99 PERCENT JEWISH AND THE 17:28 MAJORITY OF THEM HELD TO THIS NOTION THAT ONLY. JEWS COULD BE SAVED. 17:37 THIS IS A MOMENT. I GUESS GENTILES CAN BE SAVED AS WELL. 17:43 IN OTHER WORDS OF THIS WAS AN IDEA AND EMBEDDED IN THEIR BRAIN THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS CALLING 17:48 THEM TO GIVE UP AND SO LOOK, IF THE EARLY CHURCH HAD THIS IDEA THAT IS SO LIKE MIND-BOGGLING 18:03 FROM OUR STANDPOINT -- WE ARE NOT ETHNICALLY JEWISH UNLESS THEY ARE THINGS I DON'T KNOW 18:13 ABOUT. WE ARE NOT ETHNICALLY JEWISH. PRAISE GOD THEY CAME TO THIS 18:19 REVELATION BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT BE HERE TODAY IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT WORKING DOWN 18:27 THEM SURRENDER THIS PRESUPPOSITION BECAUSE THE CHURCH WOULD HAVE DIED AT THIS 18:31 POINT OR STALLED IF THE GOSPEL WAS LIMITED TO JUST THOSE THAT WERE ETHNICALLY JEWISH. 18:41 >> WHEN TO THE PRESUPPOSITION FOR THE JEWS COME? THAT THE GOSPEL WAS ONLY FOR 18:46 THEM? BECAUSE YOU THINK WITH THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL LIKE WHEN 18:49 THEY LEFT EGYPT AND THE STRANGERS AD THE FOREIGNERS WHO JOINED THEM VALVES TO THEM AND 18:55 IF THEY FOLLOW THE RIGHTS AND THE RITUALS AND DID ALL THE THINGS AND SO WHEN DID THAT 19:01 PRESUPPOSITION COME ABOUT? >> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BOOK DESIRE OF AGES THE AUTHOR GIVES 19:05 A FASCINATING PERSPECTIVE ON THE CHANGE IN PERSPECTIVE RELATED TO OTHER ETHNICITIES. 19:12 IN THAT SHORTLY AFTER THE EXILE WHEN THEY CAME BACK TO JERUSALEM THEY RECOGNIZED OF BEHOLDING TO 19:23 THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND NOT BEING INDOCTRINATED BY THE PEOPLE AROUND THEM THAT GOD 19:28 WOULD BLESS THEM. AND RATHER THAN BEING AN ENTITY THAT WAS HOLDING TO A CERTAIN 19:38 IDENTITY AND ADMINISTERING TO THOSE AROUND THEM, THEY WENT THROUGH BY PLACING BARRIERS TO 19:45 THE COMMUNITY AND WOULD NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THE GENTILES BECAUSE THEY RECOGNIZED THAT 19:50 THESE IDEAS ARE COMING IN AND IT WAS LEADING TO THEM BEING TAKEN OFF INTO CAPTIVITY. 19:55 IT LED TO A VERY EXCLUSIVE COMMUNITY OF FAITH THAT CARRIED ON TO THE TIME OF WHEN IT CAME 20:03 TO THIS POINT THAT THERE WAS A SAYING IN THE EARLY JEWISH FIRST CENTURY WHERE A JEWISH MAN WOULD 20:10 GET UP IN THE MORNING AND HE WOULD SAY, LORD, I THINK GOD THAT I AM A JEW. 20:17 AND I THANK GOD THAT I AM NOT THE GENTILE. AND A WOMAN. 20:23 THAT IS ALL THE SAME THAT THEY WOULD SAY. A JEWISH MAN AND SO, VERY 20:29 FASCINATING PERSPECTIVE ON THAT DYNAMIC AND SO YOU CAN SEE THE MINDSET THAT WOULD CREEP IN AND 20:38 THIS WAS A VERY ESTABLISHED PART OF A JEWISH PRESUPPOSITION A TO ACTS CHAPTER TEN. 20:48 AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE PRESUPPOSITION OF FRAMEWORK THAT CONTINUES. 20:54 >> YOU BEING A THEOLOGIAN, HOW MUCH TIME FRAME ACTS ONE TO TEN ARE WE TALKING A COUPLE WEEKS, 20:59 MONTHS, YEAR? WHAT WE TALK ABOUT FRAME WISE? >> TO BE HONEST I'M NOT EXACTLY 21:05 SURE THE EXACT TIME FRAME BUT ACTED CHAPTER ONE TO TEN WE WOULD PUT TOGETHER THAT THIS WAS 21:14 AT LEAST -- WE GET TO SEE THIS VERY QUICKLY. THAT'S 34 AND THEN YOU GET TO 21:22 THE THREE YEARS OF PAUL IN ARABIA AND SO THIS IS SOME TIME WITH IN THOSE THREE YEARS. 21:34 >> OKAY SO SOME TIME HAS PASSED IT'S NOT BAM BAM BAM. >> SO YOU SEE THE PATIENCE OF 21:40 GOD IN WORKING WITH US AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE THE EVIDENCE THAT WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL IN 21:46 ACTS CHAPTER TO KNOW HIM WHO WAS NOT AS THOUGH THEY THEY STEADILY THOUGHT GENTILES COULD BE SAVED 21:50 AS WELL. THE PRESUPPOSITIONS LINGERED. UNTIL ACTS CHAPTER TEN THEN THE 21:56 HOLY SPIRIT WAS WORKING WITH THEM AND IT WAS AT A PLACE WHERE THEY THOUGHT NON-JEWS COULD ALSO 22:01 BE SAVED. AND SO IT DOES SHOW YOU IN PRINCIPLE FROM THE DATA FROM THE 22:11 BOOK OF ACTS THAT PRESUPPOSITION CONTINUES IN THE LIFE OF THE BELIEVER AFTER CONVERSION AND 22:18 AFTER CONVERSION AFTER BEING SPIRIT FILLED, AFTER WINNING THOUSANDS OF SOULS AFTER BEING 22:26 LEADERSHIP, AFTER THE BOARD BUS IN YOUR MINISTRY, WE CAN STILL HAD IDEAS IN IS LIKE I NEED TO 22:35 HAVE HIM SURRENDER THOSE IDEAS THAT ARE COMING FROM CULTURE IN OTHER WORDS, BEING CONVERTED AND 22:41 SANCTIFIED DOES NOT SUDDENLY MAKE AS INFALLIBLE. >> WHY DO YOU THINK THEN THAT 22:45 GOD DID NOT GIVE PETER THE DREAM RIGHT AT PENTECOST? BECAUSE IT DOES TAKE TIME SO WHY 22:51 DIDN'T HE JUST GIVEN EVERYTHING OUT OF THE FIRE HYDRANT? >> THE PROVERBS THAT THE PATH OF 23:00 THE RIGHTEOUS IS LIKE THE SUN THAT DONS MORE AND MORE INTO THE PERFECT DAY. 23:04 IF YOU ARE IN DARKNESS, PRAISE THE LORD, THAT GOD DOES NOT JUST PUT HIS SPOTLIGHTS ON US. 23:13 BOOM. HERE IT IS. WE WOULD GO INTO SHOCK. 23:17 YOU DON'T I'M SAYING? AND IT'S A GOD OF MERCY THAT HE DOES NOT JUST DO A MILLION WATS 23:23 OF LIGHT ON US AND SAY HERE YOU GO. BUT IT'S LIKE THIS A GRADUAL 23:29 THING. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE SUN CAME UP LIKE THAT MIDNIGHT BOOM. 23:35 WHAT JUST HAPPENED. BUT WE CAN HANDLE THE NOON DAY SUN BECAUSE IT IS LIKE SUNRISE, 23:43 AND THEN IT STARTS PROGRESSING AND THE SAME ON A MACRO LEVEL IN TERMS OF THE REFORMATION TO THIS 23:49 DAY BUT IT'S ALSO STAYING ON A MICRO LEVEL, LOOK, I AM SO GLAD THAT WHEN I ACCEPTED JESUS AS MY 23:55 SAVIOR, THAT HE DID NOT PULL OUT THE LIST AND SAY LIKE SON, I WILL ACCEPTED THE WAY YOU ARE 24:03 BUT WE HAVE SOME WORK TO DO AND I WOULD BE WAY -- -- I ACCEPTED WAY THE WAY YOU ARE BUT WE HAVE 24:18 SOME WORK TO DO AND I'LL BE BLOWN AWAY. BUT IT'S LIKE ONE STEP AT A TIME 24:22 AND IN THE NEXT STEP. FOR THE NEXT STEP. >> IT'S THE MERCY OF GOD. 24:26 HIS LOVE. AND I THINK ABOUT PETER WHEN HE REALIZES TO MAKE A CHANGE. 24:32 INCREDIBLE. HE GOES TO DISCOURAGEMENT AND DESPAIR HE DOESN'T DO ANYTHING. 24:37 MY LENSES ARE GETTING CLEARER AND CLEANER AND IT'S LIKE YES ABSOLUTELY. 24:43 ABSOLUTELY. LOOK AT THE MERCY OF GOD AND PETER. 24:45 PENTECOST AND PETER. PETER DENIES JESUS AT PASSOVER. IT IS 50 DAYS FROM PASSOVER TO 24:57 PENTECOST 50 DAYS. THAT'S LESS THAN TWO MONTHS. AND SO YOU SEE PETER THE DENIER 25:07 TO 50 DAYS PREACHING A POWERFUL SERMON. LOOK AT THE MERCY OF GOD. 25:14 AND THEN THREE YEARS LATER THERE IS THIS EXPERIENCE. THIS IS THE MERCY OF GOD RIGHT 25:21 HERE. THE MERCY OF GOD IN HIS EXPERIENCE OF PETER AND 25:26 DETERMINING HOW HE WORKS WITH OUR IDEAS THAT ARE EMBEDDED WITHIN OUR BRAIN >> THIS IS A 25:36 TEXT MESSAGE FROM WYOMING. HOW DO WE DISCERN IF THEY ARE POSITIONED ON A SUBJECT IS 25:43 TAINTED BY THE PRESUPPOSITION OR IF IT IS FORMED BY THE BOOK OF TRUTH IT SEEMS LIKE WE SHOULD 25:48 PLANT OURSELVES WITH THE LORD AND NOT ENTERTAIN OTHER VIEWPOINTS THAT INTRODUCE 25:52 CONFUSION ON THE MATTER BUT WHERE THAT LINE? >> THAT IS GUIDE. 25:59 WE ARE NOT ALWAYS IN THIS REALM OF UNCERTAINTY. WE SHOULD HAVE A SOLID PLATFORM 26:03 OF TRUTH IN TERMS OF THE PILLARS OF OUR FAITH AND SO WE SHOULD NOT BE IN A POSITION OF SAYING, 26:10 I WILL MOVE THE PILLARS AND SO WE COME TO SCRIPTURE WITH A CERTAIN FOUNDATION THAT THE 26:20 VOLUME OF EVIDENCE HAS BEEN PRESENTED AND IT IS THROUGH CONTINUOUS STUDY OF SCRIPTURE 26:27 THAT WE HAVE THIS ENHANCEMENT THAT TAKES PLACE BUT WHEN I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS HERE IT IS 26:35 FROM OUR SOLID PLATFORM OF TRUTH WHEN WE COME FACE-TO-FACE WITH OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE LIKE PAUL 26:45 ON THE ROAD TO DAMASCUS, THAT SHOWS US THAT IDEAS IN MY HEAD CERTAIN IDEAS THAT I HAVE HELD 26:55 ONTO, NEED TO BE SURRENDERED. THAT IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT HERE. 27:02 I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT SAYING THAT YOU NEED TO REVISIT YOUR POSITION ON THE STATE OF THE 27:06 DEBTOR THE SABBATH. THOSE ARE PILLARS AND FOUNDATIONS THAT WE COME TO 27:13 APPEAR BUT I THINK THAT IS WHEN WE COME TO OTHER MACRO VIEWS OKAY, IN TERMS OF LIKE POLITICS. 27:25 SOMETIMES WE UNASSUMING WE HAVE A POLITICAL LENS THAT AND WHEN WE READ SCRIPTURE THE BIBLE SAYS 27:31 LOOK, THE POLITICAL LENS THAT YOU ARE USING IS REALLY A BIBLICAL. 27:35 AND THAT IS A TYPE OF THING. THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I'M NOT ADVOCATING RELATIVE 27:41 TERMS BUT IN ADVOCATING THAT LOOK, THIS NEEDS TO BE THE PLATFORM AND THE FOUNDATION 27:48 THROUGH WHICH WE CRITICALLY LOOK AT EVERY IDEA THAT COMES INTO OUR MIND FROM CULTURE AND 27:58 SOCIETY BUT WE DO NEED TO HAVE A SOLID PLATFORM OF TRUTH. >> VIRGINIA SAYS I CONTINUALLY 28:06 ASK THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING BUT I HAVE DOUBTS AND BEING HEARD. 28:10 I'M A DISABLED AND UNABLE TO GET THE CHURCH SO THIS HAS BEEN MY CHURCH FOR EIGHT YEARS NOW. 28:15 THANK YOU FOR BEING PART OF OUR FAMILY. IS THERE ANYTHING ANYTHING A 28:19 HOMEBOUND PERSON CAN DO TO WITNESS OR GET CLOSER JESUS. AND IT SAYS BY THE WAY PASTOR 28:27 HER CHIN YOU HAVE BECOME ONE OF MY FAVORITE CREATURES YOU ARE EASY TO LISTEN TO THANK YOU. 28:33 BUT HOW TO GET CLOSE TO JESUS BECAUSE OF THE ISOLATED? >> YES AND YOU KNOW THE PANDEMIC 28:39 HAS PLACED MUCH OF SOCIETY AND THIS REALM OF ISOLATION AND THEN TO ADD TO THAT SOME ARE BOUND BY 28:48 AND I AM SO GLAD FOR PAUL'S LETTER IN THE PHILIPPIANS TO THE CHURCH OF PHILIPPI BECAUSE HERE 28:58 IS AN INDIVIDUAL THAT IS A UNDER HOUSE ARREST. HIS EXPERIENCE RIGHT THERE IS 29:08 THAT HE IS IN ISOLATION UNDER HOUSE ARREST LIMITED BUT WHAT HE DOES IS THAT HE MINISTERS AND HE 29:16 IS CONTINUING TO MINISTER EVEN THOUGH HE'S GONE THROUGH THE LETTERS THAT HE WROTE UNDER 29:22 HOUSE ARREST AND SO LOOK YOU TOOK THE GREATEST CHAMPION AND THE GREATEST EVANGELIST IN THE 29:27 NEW TESTAMENT AND HE PLACED HIM UNDER HOUSE ARREST. BUT THEN, HE CONTINUES TO 29:33 MINISTER. HE CONTINUES. SO THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY. 29:36 HE WRITES A LETTER TO THE PHILIPPIANS AND HE READ THE N IT IS THE MOST OPTIMISTIC MESSAGE. 29:43 REJOICE TO THE LORD ALWAYS AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE I HAVE LEARNED IN WHATSOEVER STATE I AM 29:48 TO BE CONTENT HE SAYS WORRY ABOUT NOTHING BUT PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE PEACE OF GOD 29:53 THAT PASSES UNDERSTANDING SHALL ABIDE IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH AND SO I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU 29:57 TO READ THE BOOK OF PHILIPPIANS AND BE INSPIRED HOW GOD CAN USE A PERSON THAT IS IN ISOLATION 30:06 BECAUSE HE. HE CAN GIVE YOU INSPIRATION TO MINISTER TO PEOPLE WE LIVE IN A 30:10 PHENOMENAL AGE PAUL HAD TO SEND A LETTER THROUGH A MESSENGER BUT TODAY THROUGH A TEXT YOU HAVE 30:20 THE WORLD AT YOUR FEET. YOU CAN TEXT PEOPLE, CALL PEOPLE , MINISTER TO THEM, YOU 30:25 CAN EVEN SEND THEM VIDEOS TO SAY LOOK I AM PRAYING FOR YOU I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO HAVE A 30:30 PRAYER LIST AND THE CHURCH OF PHILIPPIANS SAID I MENTION YOU IN MY PRAYERS EVERY DAY SO HE IS 30:38 MINISTERING THE AND WHAT A POWERFUL MINISTRY IT WAS. I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ 30:42 THE BOOK OF PHILIPPIANS AND KNOW THAT GOD CAN USE YOU THERE AND BE INSPIRED AND IT'S ONE OF THE 30:47 WAYS THAT WE GROW IN GRACE IS THAT YOUR MINISTRY. AND TO BE INSPIRED BY PAUL'S 30:55 EXAMPLE. >> THIS LOOKS LIKE ARNOLD AND HE IT SAYS IS A THEOLOGY STUDENT IN 31:01 THE PHILIPPINES AND HIS QUESTION IS AND ASKING FOR THE INDWELLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT HOW CAN I 31:06 KNOW THAT THE SPIRIT IS ALREADY DWELLING IN MY HEART? HOW CAN I DISTINGUISH IF THIS IS 31:11 IT JUST ME OR IF IT'S REALLY GOD SPIRIT? >> ONE OF THE VISIBLE 31:21 MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SPIRIT IS WHAT WE CALL FRUIT. AND THE -- NOTICE THAT GALATIANS 31:32 522 DOESN'T SAY FRUITS IT AND THERE ARE GIFTS PLURAL AND ONE OF THE REASON IS THAT FRUIT 31:43 IMPLIES THAT THEY ALL COME TOGETHER LOVE JOY PEACE LONG SUFFERING MEEKNESS AND 31:48 TEMPERANCE. AND SO YOU CANNOT SAY LOOK AT LOVE IS JUST NOT MY FRUIT. 31:55 IT'S LIKE LOVE MAY BE YOU ARE FREE BUT IT'S NOT MINE. GENTLEMEN, THAT IS YOUR FRUIT 32:00 BUT THAT'S NOT MINE. THAT DOESN'T WORK. A GIFT CANNOT BE A GIFT BUT YOU 32:07 CAN'T SAY IT'S NOT MY FRUIT. PRAISE THE LORD FOR THAT WE WOULD HAVE QUITE HERE YOU ARE 32:15 RUDE TO SOMEONE AND YOU CAN JUST SAY THAT'S NOT MY GIFT. AND SO FORTH. 32:19 BUT ONE OF THE WAYS THAT YOU TRANSFER ME -- IS THE TRANSFORMATION. 32:25 IN THE WAY THAT FRUIT WORKS, WHAT, IF YOU HAVE THE ROUTE YOU HAVE THE FRUIT. 32:33 YOU DON'T PLAN TO APPLETREE AND THE NEXT DAY YOU GET THE FRUIT. IT IS A GRADUAL PROCESS. 32:39 IT IS A GRADUAL PROCESS. AND THE THING IS MANY TIMES WE ARE UNCONSCIOUS OF THIS. 32:47 WE ARE UNCONSCIOUS OF IT AND I WOULD SAY LOOK, IF YOU FIND YOURSELF GETTING THE VICTORY 32:54 VICTORY YOU KNOW, THE LORD IS THERE TO PICK UP US -- AS A POINT FALL BUT IF YOU FIND 33:03 YOURSELF AGREE MORE LIKE JESUS AND YOU CAN KNOW THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS WORKING IN YOUR LIFE 33:07 AND IN THAT SAME CHAPTER OF GALATIANS THEY TALK ABOUT THE WORKS AND YOU CAN COMPARE THAT 33:12 WITH THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT AND IF YOU FIND THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS MAKING YOU A MORE LOVING AND 33:20 LOVABLE CHRISTIAN YOU CAN KNOW THAT IT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT, GOD 'S SPIRIT IS WORKING. 33:29 >> WE WERE IN ACTS CHAPTER TEN AND WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT PETER EVEN AFTER BEING A SOLDIER WAS 33:41 STILL IN NEED OF GOD WORKING ON THE PRESUPPOSITIONS BUT I WANT TO SKIP OVER TO GALATIANS 33:47 QUICKLY BECAUSE WE HAVE THIS FASCINATING EXCHANGE BETWEEN THE TWO MOST PROMINENT INDIVIDUALS 33:52 IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. BETWEEN PETER AND PAUL AND THIS IS A FASCINATING EXCHANGE. 33:59 LOOK, WE JUST NOTED THAT PAUL AND IT IS MY TO THE PRESUPPOSITION THAT WAS FRAMING 34:04 HIS MIND AT THIS POINT AND HE SPENT THREE YEARS IN ARABIA BUT THEN IN THE BOOK OF GALATIANS WE 34:13 INTERESTING EXCHANGE BETWEEN PETER AND PAUL. AND GALATIANS CHAPTER TWO AND 34:25 VERSE 11 WE SEE THAT THERE IS THIS CONFRONTATION BETWEEN TWO PROMINENT APOSTLES. 34:31 AND GALATIANS CHAPTER TWO VERSE 11, WHEN HE PETER HAD COME TO ANTIOCH, I WITHSTOOD HIM TO HIS 34:38 FACE. BECAUSE HE WAS TO BE BLAMED FOR -- OR A CERTAIN MAN CAME FROM 34:44 JAMES HEALEY WITH THE GENTILES BUT WHEN HE WAS A AND SEPARATED HIMSELF WITH THOSE WHO WERE OF 34:51 THE CIRCUMCISION. AND THE REST OF THE JEWS ALSO PLAYED THE HYPOCRITE WITH HIM SO 34:59 EVEN BARNABAS WAS CARRIED AWAY WITH THEIR HYPOCRISY. A LITTLE ISSUE GOING ON HERE. 35:06 TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. >> SO YOU HAVE PETER WHO'S HANGING OUT THE GENTILES AND 35:12 THEN SUDDENLY THESE AND HE CANNOT HANG AROUND WITH THEM ANYMORE AND THEN PAUL REBUKES 35:20 HIM OPENLY BEFORE EVERYBODY AND THEN PETER'S EXAMPLE WAS SO INFLUENTIAL THAT EVEN BARNABAS 35:26 WAS INFLUENCED BY IT. AND, SO, YOU HAVE TWO PROMINENT INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE HAVING THIS 35:35 CONFRONTATION AND THERE HAVING A CONFRONTATION AND WHAT IS IT OVER? 35:40 IT IS OVER GENTILES. THE ASSOCIATION. THE SAME ISSUE IN ACTS CHAPTER 35:45 TEN. I WOULD ARGUE THAT AT THIS POINT IS IT AFTER ACTS CHAPTER TEN 35:49 EXPERIENCE. YOU CAN SEE A. THE REVERSAL. 35:54 AND IN OTHER WORDS, HERE PETER IS SUCCUMBING TO HIS OLD PRESUPPOSITION OF FRAMEWORK. 36:00 HE IS SUCCUMBING TO THE PRESSURE AND PAUL SPENT THREE YEARS IN ARABIA APPEAR AND CONFRONTS HIM 36:10 ON IT. THIS IS A PRESUPPOSITION OF CONFRONTATION. 36:13 THIS IS GALATIANS. >> I AM PROCESSING THIS. DOES THIS MEAN THEN THAT 36:22 PRESUPPOSITIONS CAN BE FEELINGS AND NOT JUST IDEAS? >> ABSOLUTELY. 36:26 >> PETER CLEARLY KNEW THAT THE GENTILES COULD BE SAVED AND YET HE WAS AFRAID OR APPEAR PRESSURE 36:32 WAS PUSHING HIM TO MAKE THE WRONG DECISION BUT HE KNEW IT WAS THE RIGHT DECISION AND 36:38 NUMBER FOUR ACT TEN MAYBE DIDN'T KNOW BUT AFTER THAT HE SHOULD HAVE KNOWN HERE IT WAS FEELING 36:44 BASED. >> YES. AND ONE COULD ARGUE THAT PETER 36:51 KNEW INTELLECTUALLY BUT SUCCUMBED ON AN EMOTIONAL LEVEL BUT YOU COULD ALSO ARGUE THAT 37:00 THE CONVICTION OF ACTS CHAPTER TEN HAD BECOME A BIT MORE DIMINISHED IN THE LIGHT OF THE 37:11 EXTERNAL PRESSURE. SO IT SHOWS SOMETHING ABOUT CONVICTION. 37:16 YOU CAN READ SOMETHING AND BE SO CONVICTED AND THEN YOU DON'T READ IT FOR A WHILE AND THEN THE 37:22 CONVICTION STARTS TO DIMINISH A LITTLE BIT AND YOU'RE CAUGHT IN A CERTAIN SITUATION AND THEN 37:27 IT'S LIKE OKAY THE CONVICTION IS NOT THERE IS MUCH AND SO YOU CAN SEE THAT ENGAGEMENT HERE IN 37:36 GALATIANS CHAPTER TWO BETWEEN PETER AND PAUL. I WILL KEEP READING IN REGARD TO 37:41 WHAT TOOK PLACE, BUT WHEN I SAW THAT THEY WERE NOT STRAIGHTFORWARD ABOUT THE TRUTH 37:45 I SAID TO PETER BEFORE THEM ALL, IF YOU BEING A JEW WHO LIVED NOT IN THE MATTER OF THE GENTILES 37:51 AND NOT AS THE JEWS WHY DO YOU COMPEL GENTILES TO LIVE AS JEWS? WE WHO ARE JEWS BY NATURE ARE 37:59 NOT SINNERS OF THE GENTILES AND THEN HE GOES ON INTO JUSTIFICATION BY DAVID AND THIS 38:05 WAS A CRITICAL MOMENT BECAUSE IF PAUL WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED? >> IT WOULD HAVE PROGRESSED. 38:16 >> YES THIS IS A PROMINENT INDIVIDUAL THERE ARE CERTAIN TIMES THAT CALL FOR COURAGE AND 38:21 FOR OPEN REBUKE. THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THIS IS WHERE PAUL HAD THE COURAGE TO 38:28 SAY LOOK, BROTHER, YOU ARE WRONG YOU ARE WRONG. AND WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THE 38:34 GENTILE CHRISTIANS HERE? WOULD HE DO TO THE GENTLE CHRISTIANS? 38:38 THESE PREPOSITIONS -- IS PERFECT AS PRESUPPOSITIONS ARE POWERFUL AND YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY BRING 38:46 WITH IT. ESPECIALLY WHEN EVERYONE ELSE HAD THE SAME PRESUPPOSITION OF 38:50 FRAMEWORK AND THEY EXPECT YOU TO TOW THE LINE IN A CERTAIN PERSPECTIVE. 38:55 YOU CAN KNOW IT HERE BUT THEN IT'S IN A CERTAIN ENVIRONMENT FROM THE PRESSURE. 39:05 IT IS AROUND US. PRESUPPOSITIONS BRING A SOCIAL PRESSURE AS WELL. 39:13 BUT WE COME TO ACT CHAPTER 15 WE SEE THE FIRST GENERAL. AS IT WERE, AND IT'S INTERESTING 39:23 BECAUSE ACTS CHAPTER 15 IS INCIDENTALLY DEALING WITH PRESUPPOSITION AS WELL BUT 39:26 BEFORE WE GO THERE TO HAVE A QUESTION? >> IDEA AND THAT'S TO DO WITH 39:31 WITH CHAPTER 11 THIS PERSON CHECKED IN ABOUT ACT 1111 SO SINCE WE COVERED THIS AT THIS IS 39:36 BROUGHT FROM NORTH CAROLINA THINK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. HOW DOES IT HAPPEN LIKE IT SAYS 39:40 IN ACTS 1115. THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL ON THAT. 39:44 I DO NOT GRASP FULLY WHAT THAT MEANS. WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR THE HOLY 39:48 SPIRIT TO FALL ON ON SOMEONE? >> THAT IS A FASCINATING QUESTION BECAUSE YOU SEE THAT 39:53 THE HOLY SPIRIT FALL SEVERAL TIMES IN THE BOOK OF ACTS. HE FALLS IN ACTS A CHAPTER TO DO 39:58 WITH THE WHOLE HOUSE WAS SHAKING AND THEY ARE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT THEN IN ACTS CHAPTER 40:04 FOR IN HIM I THINK IT IS THERE IS ANOTHER OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THIS IS THE 40:10 FIRST INSTANCE IN WHICH THE HOLY SPIRIT FELL UPON THE GENTILES IN PARTICULAR. 40:16 THE ONLY WAY TO EXPLAIN IT IS THAT THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE EARLY AND THE LATTER RAIN. 40:23 ON A MACRO LEVEL WHEN WE LOOK AT THE CHURCH THE EARLY RAIN WAS PENTECOST AND THE LATTER RAIN 40:30 WILL TAKE PLACE SOMETIME BEFORE THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS AND THE RAIN IS A METAPHOR 40:37 DESCRIBING THIS AGRICULTURAL ELEMENT OF THE LIFE OF A PLANT AND SO WANT TO SEED IS PLANTED 40:46 IN YOU NEED TO EARLY RAINS OF THE SEED CAN GERMINATE. SO HERE ARE EARLY CHURCH NEEDED 40:52 A EARLY RANGE OF THE CHURCH COULD START AND THEN RIGHT BEFORE THE HARVEST AND THE 40:57 SECOND COMING OF JESUS COMES WITH A SICKLE AND ITS REVELATIONS THAT YOU HAD A 41:01 LATTER RAIN FOR THE LAST BOOST BEFORE THE SECOND COMING AND ON THE MACRO LEVEL, THAT IS THE 41:06 DYNAMIC OF THE EARLY IN THE LATTER RAIN BUT THERE'S ALSO THE MICRO LEVEL IN WHICH MY LIFE WE 41:11 HAVE THE EARLY RAIN AND THE LATTER RAIN BUT ON THE MACRO LEVEL YOU HAVE OUTPOURING OF THE 41:16 HOLY SPIRIT AND OUTPOURING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THE EARLY RAIN IS IN THE BOOK OF ACTS AND NOW 41:20 AS A JUST POINTED OUT, WE NEED A DAILY REFRESHING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THAT IS A DEALING 41:28 ABIDING IN CHRIST AND AGENCY TO THE HOLY SPIRIT BUT THIS IS TALKING ABOUT THE EARLY AND 41:37 LATER TALKING ABOUT THESE SPECIAL OUTPOURINGS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT IS GIVEN TO THE 41:41 CORPORATE BODY AND YOU CAN SEE THAT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN IT SAYS THE HOLY SPIRIT 41:47 FALLS UPON THE DISCIPLES OR THE GENTILES, IT'S TALKING ABOUT THE EARLY RAIN. 41:53 IT'S TALKING ABOUT THESE EMPOWERMENT FOR MISSIONS BECAUSE IN ACTS CHAPTER ONE HE SAYS THE 41:59 HOLY SPIRIT SHALL COME UPON YOU AND YOU SHALL HAVE POWER TO BE WITNESSES IN JERUSALEM JUDEA AND 42:04 THE UTTERMOST PARTS OF THE WORLD SO THIS HOLY SPIRIT POWER, WHAT DOES IT DO DURING PENTECOST? 42:09 THE GIFT OF TONGUES FOR GOSPEL MINISTRY THIS IS SPECIAL EMPOWERMENT THAT IS GIVEN TO THE 42:15 CORPORATE BODY TO TAKE THE GOSPEL TO THE WORLD AND THAT IS WHAT. 42:19 THAT IS IN A NUTSHELL THE FALLING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT EARTHLY RING THAT EMPOWERS THEM 42:23 FROM WITHIN THE MINISTRY. >> WE COME TO ACT CHAPTER 15 AND ACT CHAPTER 15 IS ALSO DEALING 42:33 WITH PRESUPPOSITIONS BECAUSE IF YOU LOOK IN ACTS CHAPTER 15, VERSE ONE AND AND CERTAIN MEN 42:39 CAME DOWN FROM JUDEA AND SPOKE A BROTHER AND UNLESS YOU ARE CIRCUMCISED, ACCORDING TO THE 42:44 CUSTOM OF MOSES, YOU CANNOT BE SAVED. HERE'S ANOTHER PRESUPPOSITION, 42:49 CAN YOU IMAGINE, JEWISH CHRISTIANS WERE STILL HOLDING ONTO THE PRESUPPOSITION OF 42:54 FRAMEWORK OF CIRCUMCISION. AND LOOK WHAT THEY SAID, UNLESS YOU ARE CIRCUMCISED YOU CANNOT 42:59 BE BLESSED. SAVED. WOW. 43:02 OKAY THAT THE PRESUPPOSITION OF FRAMEWORK. AND CAN YOU IMAGINE? 43:05 AND BAPTISMAL STUDY TODAY YOU TYPICALLY LEAVE THE HEART TILL THE LAST AND YOU GO THROUGH ALL 43:10 THE BIBLE STUDY AND THEN YOU'RE LIKE OKAY, WE JUST WANT TO BREAK SOMETHING TO YOU HERE, BEFORE 43:17 YOU CAN ACCEPT INTO OUR FELLOWSHIP, MY BROTHER, YOU HAVE TO GO THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF 43:26 SURGERY HERE AND YOU MAY BE LAID UP BUT IT IS CRITICAL BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE SURGERY, YOU 43:33 ARE NOT SAVED. TALK ABOUT A HIGH BAR FOR FELLOWSHIP. 43:43 I MEAN THIS IS A CRITICAL MOMENT BECAUSE THEY WERE CULTURAL. >> THIS IS CULTURAL. 43:49 PEAK HANGING ONTO CULTURE IDEAS. >> BUT THEY THOUGHT WAS BIBLICAL >> THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BIBLICAL. 43:54 >> IS THE BIBLICAL EVIDENCE FOR CIRCUMCISION? ABSOLUTELY. 44:02 ESPECIALLY FOR THE JEWISH COMMUNITIES OF THIS IS A TRANSITION BUT THE MEANING OF 44:06 CIRCUMCISION AND THE IN TERMS OF THE JEWISH PEOPLE WAS AN IMPORTANT ONE. 44:13 JEWS ARE CIRCUMCISED BUT NOW WE SEE A TRANSITION WHERE THE JEWISH STATUS AS THE FAVORED 44:24 NATION IN TERMS OF THE STEWARDSHIP OF TAKING THE GOSPEL TO THE WORLD WAS LOST WHEN 44:33 STEPHEN WAS STONED. IT WAS OVER. THIS IS NOT SAYING THAT JEWS 44:37 CANNOT BE SAVED AND THAT STEWARDSHIP WAS THE COVENANT THAT INVOLVED CIRCUMCISION. 44:45 THAT ENDED. NEVER SING A TRANSITION BUT A LOT OF THE JEWS WERE HOLDING 44:50 ONTO THIS BELIEF OF CIRCUMCISION AND IT LED TO THIS DISSENSION AND ACTS CHAPTER 15 VERSE TO 44:58 THERE FOR PAUL AND BARNABAS HAD NO SMALL DISSENSION AND DISPUTE WITH THEM THEY DETERMINE THAT 45:02 PAUL AND BARNABAS AND CERTAIN OTHERS GO UP TO JERUSALEM SO THIS WAS A HOT QUESTION THAT WAS 45:08 IN THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL I'M STARING AT THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL BUT THE COMMUNITY OF 45:11 FAITH AND YOU COULD ASK CHAPTER 15 VERSE FIVE BUT SOME OF THE PHARISEES WHO BELIEVED ROSE UP 45:17 SAYING IT IS NECESSARY AND TO COMMAND THEM TO KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES. 45:24 AND HERE WE HAVE, THE STAGE IS SET FOR ACTS CHAPTER 15 WHICH IS REALLY. 45:32 AND I WONDER, HOW MANY OF OUR THEOLOGICAL DEBATES THAT ARE HEATED TODAY -- I WON'T MENTION 45:43 THEM. BUT THE CULTURAL PRESUPPOSITION ASSOCIATED WITH IT. 45:49 BECAUSE WE LIKE TO FOCUS ON METHODOLOGY BUT LOOK, THIS IS A STRONG PRESUPPOSITION OF 45:54 FRAMEWORK AND IT LED TO THIS HUGE DISCUSSION IN THE BOOK OF ACTS SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO 46:01 THEY HAVE THIS OPEN DISCUSSION YOU CAN PICK IT UP AND SEE THE MINUTES HERE FROM THE JC SESSION 46:06 ACTS CHAPTER 15 VERSE SEVEN AND WHEN THERE HAD BEEN MUCH DISPUTE PETER ROSE UP AND SAID, MEN AND 46:12 BRETHREN YOU KNOW A GOOD WHILE AGO GOD CHOSE AMONG US GENTILES THAT THEY SHOULD HEAR THE WORLD 46:16 OF THE GOSPEL -- WORD OF THE GOSPEL AND BELIEVE. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED 46:23 PRIOR TO ACTS CHAPTER FIVE, 15 VERSE SEVEN BUT WE KNOW THIS IS A HOT TOPIC. 46:32 THEN FINALLY PETER SPEAKS THAN PAUL AND BARNABAS PEAKS AND YOU CAN SEE WHERE THE DECISION TURNS 46:37 IN ACTS CHAPTER 15 VERSE 13 AND AFTER THIS THEY HAD BECOME SILENT JAMES ANSWERED AND SAID, 46:44 MEN AND BRETHREN, LISTEN TO ME, SIMON HAS DECLARED HOW GOD AT FIRST VISITS TO GENTILES AND 46:49 TAKE THEM AS A PEOPLE FOR THEIR NAME AND WITH THIS, THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET AGREEING. 46:55 JUST AS IT WAS WRITTEN. AND THEN HE QUOTES THE OLD TESTAMENT HERE AND THEN AFTER 47:02 THIS THEY SAY AMEN AS A DECISION BEING MADE. LOOK AT THE THEOLOGICAL DEBATE. 47:07 FOR THE DISCUSSION I SHOULD SAY. YOU KNOW BIG DECEPTION. -- DISSENSION. 47:19 THEN JAMES SPEAKS AND HE SAYS, WITH THIS THE WORDS OF THE PROPHET. 47:25 AGREE. IN OTHER WORDS, COOPERATION. BASED ON WHAT THEY HAD A 47:31 SCRIPTURE WHICH WAS THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THEN AFTER THAT WHEN YOU READ ACTS CHAPTER 15, 47:36 IT IS DISCUSSION. IT'S OVER. IN OTHER WORDS, THE BIBLE BECAME 47:41 THE AUTHORITY ON WHICH THE EARLY CHURCH SETTLED THE PRESUPPOSITION ALL DILEMMA. 47:51 THE BIBLE SETTLED. IN OTHER WORDS, THIS IS TO BE THE AUTHORITY FOR DETERMINING 47:58 WHETHER MY PRESUPPOSITIONS ARE RIGHT OR WRONG. AND IN THIS WHOLE DYNAMIC IT IS 48:03 VERY INTERESTING BECAUSE LATER ON WHEN THEY SENT OUT A LETTER TO IN ACTS CHAPTER 15 VERSE 28 48:09 YOU CAN SEE A PART OF THE LETTER PAYING FOR IT SEEMS GOOD TO THE HOLY SPIRIT AND TO US TO LAY 48:16 UPON YOU NO GREATER BURDEN THAN THESE THINGS NECESSARY OF CIRCUMCISION WHICH WAS 48:23 INCIDENTALLY CIRCUMCISION NOT PART OF AND THE WORD SAID SO IT SEEMS GOOD TO THE HOLY SPIRIT 48:27 AND TO US AND IN OTHER WORDS, THEY VIEWED THE OLD TESTAMENT COOPERATION AS THE HOLY SPIRIT. 48:38 IN OTHER WORDS, THE HOLY SPIRIT SPEAKS TO >> I LIKE THAT. >> YOU CAN SEE IN ACTS CHAPTER 48:47 ONE WHERE PETER STANDS UP IN THE UPPER ROOM AND SAYS, FOR GOD SPOKE TO THE MOUTH OF DAVID IN 48:51 OTHER WORDS, THE HOLY SPIRIT TOTE THAT SPOKE TO THE AMOUNT OF DAVID, AND OTHER WORDS, THE HOLY 48:57 SPIRIT IN THE BOOK OF ACTS THROUGH THE SCRIPTURE. MANY TIMES IN THE HOLY SPIRIT IS 49:06 JUST AN IMPRESSION AND I DO BELIEVE THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES IMPRESSIONS BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT 49:12 SPEAKS WITH THE WORK SPECIFICALLY. >> HOLY MEN OF GOD. 49:16 SPOKEN BY THE HOLY GHOST. >> RESULT IN ACTS CHAPTER 15 THE CHURCH STRUGGLING WITH THESE 49:25 PRESUPPOSITIONS AND I WANT TO GO HERE TO ACTS CHAPTER 21 AS WE LOOK AT A VERY FASCINATING 49:33 DYNAMIC THAT TAKES PLACE BETWEEN JAMES AND PAUL. ACTS CHAPTER 21 VERSE 17 THROUGH 49:41 24. AND WHEN WE HAD COME TO JERUSALEM THE BRETHREN RECEIVED 49:45 EYES AND ON THE FOLLOWING DAY PAUL WENT WITH US TO ALL THE ELDERS WHO ARE PRESENT AND WHEN 49:53 HE GREETED TOLD THEM ALL THE THINGS THAT GOD HAD DONE TO THE GENTILES IN THE MINISTRY AND 49:58 WHEN THEY HEARD IT THEY GLORIFIED GOD AND SAID TO HIM, YOU SEE BROTHER HOW MANY MYRIADS 50:03 OF JEWS THERE ARE WHO HAVE BELIEVED AND ZEALOUS AFTER THE LAW BUT THEY HAVE INFORMED ABOUT 50:09 YOU THAT YOU TEACH ALL THE JEWS WHO ARE AMONG THE GENTILES TO FORSAKE MOSES SAYING THAT THEY 50:14 OUGHT NOT TO CIRCUMCISE THEIR CHILDREN OR WALK ACCORDING TO THE CUSTOMS AND THEN HE GOES ON. 50:22 JAMES IN ACTS CHAPTER 15 PRESIDE OVER COMES IN AND SAID THAT CIRCUMCISION IS NOT ESSENTIAL. 50:29 PAUL GOES ON THE NEXT MISSION AND COMES BACK TO JERUSALEM SAYING WHETHER JAMES, AND HE 50:34 SAYS, PAUL, MY BROTHER, THERE ARE SOME JEWISH CHRISTIANS HERE THAT HAVE HEARD SOME RUMORS 50:43 ABOUT YOU THAT YOU ARE SAYING THAT JEWISH CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT HAVE CIRCUMCISE ANYMORE AND 50:48 HE SAID NOW WE HAVE ONE CRITERIA BUT THE JEWS ARE DIFFERENT IN OTHER WORDS THERE IS SOME 50:57 REVERSION TAKING PLACE IN JAMES AND SO HE SAID LOOK, PAUL, JUST SO YOU CAN SHOW THAT YOU ARE 51:03 ORTHODOX TO THE JEWISH CHRISTIANS WHY DON'T YOU GO TO THE CEREMONIAL RIGHT IN 51:08 JERUSALEM AND SHOW YOUR ORTHODOX AND THAT TO THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF PAUL BECAUSE HE GETS 51:14 ARRESTED AND HE'S BASICALLY INCARCERATED TO THE TIME OF HIS EXECUTION. 51:18 SO IN ACTS CHAPTER 21, YOU SEE THE CHURCH STILL WRESTLING FOR THE PRESUPPOSITION FRAMEWORK. 51:26 IN OTHER WORDS, IT STILL DOES NOT GO AWAY. IT STILL DOESN'T GO AWAY. 51:34 THE BEAUTY OF THE BOOK OF ACTS IS THAT THE BOOK OF ACTS AND'S IN ACTS CHAPTER 28 WITH A 51:42 FASCINATING DYNAMIC HERE IN ACTS CHAPTER 28 PAUL IS UNDER HOUSE ARREST AND HE IS GIVING A BIBLE 51:51 STUDY TO JEWS THAT HAVE COME INTO HIS HOME AND IN ACTS CHAPTER 28 VERSE 23 WHEN THEY 51:56 HAD APPOINTED HIM A DAY MANY CAME TO HIM PERSUADING THEM CONCERNING JESUS FROM BOTH ADULT 52:06 LAW OF MOSES AND THE PROFITS FROM MORNING UNTIL THE EVENING. THE FASCINATING THING ABOUT THIS 52:14 IS THAT LUKE CHAPTER 24 YOU HAVE JESUS GIVING A BIBLE STUDY FROM MOSES AND THE PROPHETS AND THEN 52:23 LATER ON IN THE UPPER ROOM HE GIVES ANOTHER BIBLE STUDY. THERE ARE TWO STUDIES. 52:29 IN ACTS CHAPTER 28 YOU HAVE PAUL GIVING A BIBLE STUDY ALL DAY FROM MOSES AND THE PROPHETS. 52:38 AND HE'S TALKING TO THE JEWS WHO DON'T BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE MESSIAH. 52:43 HOW DOES HE ATTEMPT TO CONVINCE THEM? THAT THERE PRESUPPOSITIONS ARE 52:49 OFF? IT'S HIS OLD TESTAMENT AND THE WORD OF GOD AND THROUGH 52:54 SCRIPTURE AND SO YOU CAN SEE HERE THAT THE BIBLE IS THE ENTITY THROUGH WHICH OUR 53:02 PRESUPPOSITION IS TO BE CONTINUING, REFINED, ENHANCED, AND SURRENDERED BY THE GRACE OF 53:11 GOD. THIS IS KEY HERE AS WE ENGAGE SCRIPTURE I PRESUPPOSITIONS ARE 53:18 REFINED, SURRENDERED, AND ENHANCED AS WE APPROACH IT FROM A SOLID PLATFORM OF TRUTH. 53:26 >> INCREDIBLE STUDY. WE HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS COMING IN. 53:29 >> THIS IS FROM SHARON IN OHIO AND THEY WILL PROBABLY BE OTHER PEOPLE FEELING THIS WAY SO I 53:35 WANTED TO ASK THIS. SHE SAYS SHE'S IN HER EARLY 60s AND WAS JUST BAPTIZED THIS 53:39 PAST JULY AND FEELS LIKE SHE NEEDS TO FAST CHECK FOR SIGNIFICATION. 53:55 SHE SAID I PROBABLY DON'T HAVE MANY YEARS OF LIFE OR MEANING AND NOW THAT I KNOW ABOUT THESE 53:57 PRESUPPOSITIONS I CAN SURRENDER AND BE CONSCIOUS OF IT BUT SHE'S TRYING TO FAST TRACK OF THE 53:58 PROCESS OF DEALING WITH PRESUPPOSITION. >> THE BIBLE BRINGS OUT THIS 54:01 CONCEPT THAT IT SAYS WALK IN THE LIGHT LESS TO BE LEFT IN DARKNESS JON 1235. 54:09 HERE'S THE KEY, THE BIBLE SAYS IT IS A WALK. THE THING IS THAT EVERY TIME GOD 54:19 SHOWS YOU LIFE, BY THE GRACE OF GOD TODAY, YES LORD, I SURRENDER IN THE BIBLE SAYS SANCTIFY THEM 54:30 THROUGH THE TRUTH, THEY WORD IS TRUTH, IN OTHER WORDS, GROWTH TAKES PLACE. 54:37 BECAUSE OF TRUTH. NO GROWTH, NO TRUTH, NO GROWTH, AND THE TRUTH, NO GROWTH. 54:42 NOW IF YOU WANT TO BE ON MIRACLE GROW AND FAST TRACK EVERY TIME GOD SAYS HERE IS THE TRUTH SAY 54:50 YES. >> ACCEPT IT. >> THE REASON WE DO NOT GROW AT 54:54 A CERTAIN RATE IS BECAUSE GOD SHOWS US THE TRUTH AND AND WE GO THROUGH THIS THING BUT I HAVE 55:03 KNOWN INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ON THIS FAST TRACK. I STAYED IN ALASKA FOR LITTLE 55:11 WHILE AND ALASKA IN THE SUMMERTIME THERE IS SON AND I MEAN LIKE IT CAN BE 11:00 AT 55:17 NIGHT AND YOU CAN BE YOU ARE LIKE I WONDER WHY IT'S SO TIGHT IT'S 10:30 P.M. 55:25 AND THE THING ABOUT IT IS I AM LIKE MOWING THE LAWN EVERY OTHER DAY WHY? 55:30 BECAUSE THERE IS SO MUCH LIGHT. THERE IS SO MUCH LIGHT. THEY HAVE CABBAGE THAT IS THIS 55:36 BIG. IT GROWS AND GROWS. CERTAIN TYPES OF DON'T GROW VERY 55:40 WELL BUT YEAR ROOT VEGETABLES DO VERY WELL AND HERE'S THE THING. IF YOU WANT TO GROW AND 55:48 KNOWLEDGE OF JESUS CHRIST EVERY TIME GOD SHOWS YOU TRUTH, WALK IN THE LIGHT. 55:54 ACCEPT IT. FOLLOW IT, LIVE IT IN YOUR LIFE AND THEN GOD SAYS OKAY I WILL 55:59 SHOW YOU MORE AND STEP-BY-STEP EXPERIENCE BY EXPERIENCE, THE LORD WILL CAUSE YOU TO GROW IN 56:05 GRACE. AND IT'S NOT ABOUT THE DESTINATION. 56:08 IT IS ABOUT PROCESS. >> AND FINDING THE TRUTHS IN THE WORD OF GOD AND STUDYING THE 56:15 WORD OF A DAILY BASIS. >> THY WORD IS TRUTH. >> ABSOLUTELY. 56:20 >> THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. >> I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH AND WE ( YOU HAVE AS WELL. 56:26 I WANTED TO SHARE THIS QUICK PRAYER REQUEST IN FROM ANITA. HER SON IS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH 56:34 COVID AND PNEUMONIA AND HE IS AT DEATH'S DOOR RIGHT NOW. JUST WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU AND 56:41 WE WILL CONTINUE TO INTERCEDE TO HEALING OVER YOUR SON AND COMFORT AND PEACE FOR YOUR 56:48 FAMILY. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING US TONIGHT FOR THIS STUDY AS WE 56:53 LEARN HOW TO VIA THE AUTHORITY OF THE WORD OF GOD. AND I ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO THIS 57:02 EACH AND EVERY DAY. EXCEPT HIM AND SAID YES EVERY TIME HE SPEAKS TO YOUR HEART. 57:07 WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN. |
