Salvation is not like an airline ticket to Brussels, Belgium.  It is not just to provide us a passage to eternity and the Holy City.  The baptism of the Holy Spirit is coupled with the great commission: “Ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”  You need to share what you know.

The knowledge God gives is not given as a private keepsake to be stowed in a curio cabinet.  God intends for us to share the knowledge we have received with other people—with our children, our families, our neighbors, our countrymen, and with people from every nation in the world.

When gold was discovered in 1849 in Sutter’s Mill in Sacramento, California, the word spread and the gold rush began.  Men left their Eastern cities and farms, and journeyed over the hot and dry trails to California.  From man to man, from mouth to ear, the knowledge was shared.  As the knowledge of transportation has advanced, the information about the automobile, the steamship, the railroad, the ocean liner, the airplanes, and the rocket ships has been passed on.  How much more should the biblical discoveries and revelations be passed on to others.

May God help us fall in love with and remain in love with preaching. We must be a worshiping church, but not at the expense of preaching. It is good that we are a musical church, but not at the expense of preaching. We’d better be a friendly church, but that doesn’t replace preaching. We must be visited by the supernatural, but the moving of His Spirit and the demonstration of His might should only lead us to and confirm the truth of preaching. Such is the testimony of the apostles: “They went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen” (Mark 16:20). How can one establish the value of preaching? What is the estimate of having a man of God who will fulfill the instruction of Ezekiel: “They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean: (Ezekiel 44:23)? What is the worth of a voice that will declare the Word of God? What is the significance of preaching? I can please God only with faith, and faith comes by hearing His Word. (See Hebrews 11:6; Romans 10:17.) Preaching convicts sinners, preaching heals the wounded, preaching brings hope, and preaching builds the church. And yet amazingly much of the Christian world is turning its back on it.

The Meaning of Easter

In Old Testament times, the priest would bring bulls, goats or a spotless lamb without any blemishes to be sacrificed as a sin offering for himself and for the people. The blood would purify and make atonement (forgive, make amends) for their sins. This was  the  old order of atonement. When Jesus came, He was  a representation of the   sacrificial  lamb  to  take  away  the  sins  of  the  world. He  was  the final sacrifice. We  no  longer have to  sacrifice  animals  to make  atonement  for our sins. Jesus has done this once and for all. It’s His blood that cleanses us from all sin. He was crucified on the cross (the form of execution in those days). The sin of  the world  was  upon Him, yet He was without sin  and  blameless. He bore it all. This  is  why  Jesus  is  referred  to  as  the  ‘Lamb of God’.   He  was  bodily resurrected  (came back to life)  on  the third day. He appeared to many – eating and drinking with them. He appeared to them for 40 days, then ascended (went up to) Heaven. Acts 1: 1-11.

The mantra of the day seems to be, “Just give me a praise band and a worship team.  Just give me a fellowship circle and some refreshments.  Just give me a support group and an accountability partner.  Just give me a coffee bar and moments of quiet reflection.”  I suppose all of those things have some merit, but let the cry of the true Apostolic ever be, “Give me a red-hot preacher saturated with prayer.  Give me a message from God’s throne that pierces deeply into my heart and spirit.  Give me conviction that springs from the energy of God’s Word.  Give me preaching.”

Lose God’s Presence?

David did not have the opportunity to receive the Holy Spirit the way New Testament believers have received the Holy Spirit.  His anointing was for ministry.  The Spirit came upon him at special times for a special work,  but the Spirit of God did not fill him as it fills believers today.

If David was afraid to lose his empowerment from God, how much more should we panic at the thought of losing God’s presence?  We should take the advice of Scripture and avoid quenching or grieving “the holy Spirit of God”

(I Thessalonians 5:19; Ephesians 4:30).

Joy comes after Forgiveness!

Joy comes after forgiveness.  The big dilemma with unrepentant humanity is that they go on in life trying to find joy without being cleansed of guilt.  They want to laugh, but all their laughter carries the hollow echo of unresolved life issues.  They try many things in their effort to obtain joy and gladness.

Like pouring good milk in with sour milk, trying to discover happiness without forgiveness of sins will never sweeten one’s life.  Rather, we must dump the spoiled contents of our sinful lives at the cross of Christ.  Then God can fill us with the milk of His goodness.  What lightness and happiness a person experiences who has found the freedom of forgiveness!
