The Presence Of God Will Command A Response There are two responses shown in this verse: The Pharisees Response The Disciples Response The Pharisees response is to not acknowledge Him and to stop anyone who does acknowledge His presence. They said “rebuke your disciples”. A religious spirit opposes the passionate cry of heart felt worship. The disciples joyfully shouted with a loud voice. They made much to do about Jesus coming into Jerusalem. Jesus did not stop them and He still to this day inhabits the praises of His people. Mark 10:46-52 The gospel has been watered down so much that it is normal for the church to go through the motions and never have a manifestation of the Holy Spirit.
Confession: Father, I Will Praise You With My Whole Heart, I Will Follow You With All My Strength, And All My Might And All That Is Within Me. The disciples response is to erupt in praise and worship and cry out His Name and magnify His glory. 1. We must respond to the presence of God with praise and worship 2. We must respond to the word of God with verbal acceptance as well as accepting it into our spirit. 3. We must respond to the gifts of the Spirit when the gifts are in operation. If you don’t respond because you are too embarrassed, or shy, you cut yourself off from your victory. Sometimes a word of knowledge is given and the Holy Spirit does not prompt us to have you come down front for prayer. That is because the person the word was for is receiving with their faith. Sometimes we ask you to come to the front so we can lay hands on you, this is because the Holy Spirit is going to manifest another gift like the working of miracles or gifts of healing. When the gifts are flowing, faith is flowing as well, learn to respond quickly to the Holy Spirit. The greater the response the greater the manifestations of the Spirit. Comments are closed.
