Should We Expect More Pentecosts in the Future?
July 20, 2019
Pentecost was a very historic event in the history of the church. Not only was it historic, but it had great significance. It was an event that had already been prophesied and promised by the Lord Jesus Himself. The Old Testament pointed to it. The New Testament records it and shows what happened after it. Not only was it the fulfillment of a promise but it was also the beginning of a new age - the age of the Spirit. It was a great revival for the people - it effected both believers and non-believers. Believers were set on fire for the gospel - nonbelievers were converted to Christ in great numbers. It was a great start for the church. Church history has shown that at particular times - the Holy Spirit has again been poured out with great results. Should we expect further Pentecosts even greater than the ones that have happened in the past?

The crowds were amazed at Jesus' teaching because He was no ordinary man. He was God in the flesh. We should listen to Jesus today because He is God. He has given us His Word and we need to take heed to what it says. Jesus' teaching is unique. The people there on the mountain side heard Jesus directly. They could see him with their eyes and they could hear him with their ears. How do we hear Him today? We hear him through the Bible as it is taught and proclaimed to us or as we read and meditate upon it. The Bible is the Word of God. It is God's message to us. We need to take heed to what it says. Jesus is still speaking. We need to open our ears and listen to what He has to say.

Good works are the product of a good heart. You can't be a true Christian without good works. If obeying the Sermon on the Mount turns you off, then what kind of faith do you have? Saving faith says, "I want to obey Christ's commands - the Sermon on the Mount and all His commands." If you have that kind of faith, then you have a solid foundation.

A Judgement Day is coming and we need to live in the light of that fact. Today's world lives as if there is no judgement but they are wrong. In the light of the Great Judgement Day, we need to be careful how we live and what we profess. We must beware of having a false profession. Jesus says that on the Judgement Day, false professors will be exposed. Their masks will be ripped off and He will declare, "I never knew you."

Many Christians today are being deceived by false teachers. Cults are full of former Christians who could not recognize their false teaching. Christians today are very vulnerable to being led astray because of their ignorance of scripture and the teachings of the Christian faith. Then, there are prophets whose lives don't live up to what they teach. We need to know how to recognize false prophets and false teachings. If we cannot recognize them, then we are very subject to being led astray.

Jesus has shown us how to live the Christian life and now He says enter into that life. This is the kind of life it will be. It is not popular. The world doesn't naturally enter into it because it is a way that is contrary to the way of the world. This is the way you are entering as a Christian. You need to count the cost before you enter this way.

The golden rule not only applies to our actions but also to our thoughts. We are to think of others in the same way we would want them to think of us. If we have evil thoughts toward our neighbor, we are breaking the Golden Rule. The Golden Rule shows us how to live as Christians but it also convicts us of sin and shows us our need of Christ and His forgiveness. Jesus tells us that the Golden Rule sums up the teaching of the Bible as how we are to treat our fellow man. In other words, all the precepts and commandments in the Bible that show us how to treat our fellow man are summed up in this one simple rule - Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you.

The Father has promised to give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. We must lay hold on that promise. We need a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit in this nation to bring revival. We must storm the windows of heaven with our prayers till He answers from on High and sends revival to this land.

As we go through life, we need to recognize that the Lord will be with us every moment. We should always have this realization of living in His presence. All we do and say and think matter to Him and we are always living with Him by our side. That's why Jesus encourages us to pray and to pray often. So many Christians fail to realize their need for daily prayer and communion with the Lord. We cannot live this life alone. We need the Lord daily. We need to be constantly coming before Him in prayer.

Living in the presence of God means to fear God, that is to reverence Him and live our lives accountable to Him with a view to that Great Day. We are to live in the light of God's Judgement Seat. Today, our society lacks the fear of God. So many Christians don't have much fear of God in their lives. We are not living in the light of God's Judgement Seat. Yet, this is what Jesus calls us to do.

We are living in a materialistic society that tends to avoid God. Christians are not to be that way. We are to live every day with God and in His presence. We are to trust in Him and not in our selves or our possessions. We are to live by God's Word on a daily basis and to rest our cares in Him. Living in the presence of God is a great blessing for God's people. Others do not have that blessing. We need to avoid living like those who know not God. We need to guard ourselves from getting sucked in by the world. We are members of the Kingdom of God and we live with our Father everyday. We need to look up to Him and know that He cares for us and wants the best for us.
