Where Were You When He Moved?

Acts 2:1-4

When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

And suddenly there came…

Unawares, Unexpectedly

Even though Jesus had told them of the coming Holy Spirit many times, when He came, He came suddenly, with no other forewarning

If you were there when He came you got in on the outpouring

There is one sure way to miss out on a move of God… Be somewhere else when He comes

Not necessarily physically somewhere else, but mentally or spiritually somewhere else

One device satan uses are distractions

They are the things that get our attention off of what is important

Hebrews 12:2a

Looking away [from all that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our faith

Priority

Something that is more important than other things and that needs to be done or dealt with first

Priorities : the things that someone cares about and thinks are important

What Takes Priority In My Life?

Your marriage and family are to be a priority in life
 
If you have suffered the loss of someone you love you know how important love, marriage and family are

Matthew 6:33-34

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

The Distractions Of This World Want To Dictate Your Priorities

There is nothing as important as your spiritual wellness

Spiritual wellness will heal the other issues of life

There is a promised outpouring of God’s Spirit on this generation

But this generation is the most distracted generation of all time

Diligence in seeking God is out of fashion

Holiness is “old school”

In This Generation…

Faithfulness to one’s spouse is optional but so is marriage

But the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon those who are seeking Him will spill out and overflow on a generation that has had no time for God

Our passion for Christ will become contagious

It Is Up To The Church To Get This Right So The World Can Be Affected

Mark 16:15

He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation.

2 Corinthians 6:14-18
 
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?
What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people." "Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you." "I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty."

Can we be the stewards of God’s power?

Can we ask Him to trust us with more?
 
Then Be Ready For

A Suddenly
