The power of resurrection of Jesus, (Matthew 27:52:53)

There are a lot of righteous that was resurrected in Jerusalem as Jesus was resurrected.

 That is why the resurrection of Jesus called as the first fruits, 1 Corinthians 15:20, the first fruit means that the fruit of, example “mango, first fruit of ripe mango, if there is first, there is second, and others that will follow.”

That is why the resurrection of Jesus is the first fruit and it means that there’s next to that, this will happen in topic Future Resurrection.

The Body of Jesus is Resurrected

The body of a believer will transform just like the body of Jesus was resurrected, Philippians 3:20-21

The things that hindered Christians not to be ready for the second coming of Jesus.

Your heart might be deceived.

Wine or Alcoholic drinks 

Ambition

Fleshly Desire

And many more – Gal. 5:19-21

LESSON 4

POWER FROM ON HIGH

 The Last Word of Jesus

Luke 24:46-49; Acts 1:4-5, 8

Before Jesus ascended to heaven, His last words to His disciple were.

A. Walk and preach the Good news to all the nation.

B. Wait until you have the power from the most high.

The PROMISE – Luke 24:49 ; Acts 1:4-5

The Lord Jesus commanded His disciple to recieve the promise of the father. This promise is the Baptism of the Holy Spirit. Through Baptism, the disciples will receive the power to testify about Him.

Understanding of Baptism

The word baptism is from the Greek word “Baptizo” -  it means to sub-merge or to put under water. When your submerge, you will be a vessel of the Holy Spirit, from inside and out it and  you will recieve power.

The word Power – Acts 1:8 – from the greek word “ Dunamis “ which is “Dynamite” in english.

The baptism of the Holy Spirit can make a Christian ( believer ) recieved the dynamite or dynamo or power that comes from God.

The Power of Preaching – Acts 1:8

The baptism of the Holy Spirit is given to the Christian (believer)

For them to be a Witness of our Lord Jesus

To be a witness  means to be martyr

The word is the witness in Acts 1:8 from the Greek word Martus- which means Martyr

Means a person who dies for the truth

To tell the truth

Living in the truth

That’s the reason why we are baptized in the Holy Spirit for us to be martyr in Jesus.

Filled with the Holy Spirit – Acts 2:1-4

All Christian (  120 believers ) who wait for the Pentecost and were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke in different tongue according to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Speaking in Tongue - One of the gifts of Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 12:10

       This gift is given to each us for the following purposes:

Language of Prayer – 1 Cor.14:4 – There is no need to translate“ because no one can    understand this. Even he who believes, because he’s not talking to people but he’s talking to God ” 

Through the will of God – Romans 3:26-27

B. Strengthen yourself – 1 Cor. 14:4 – at the time the believer speak in tongue, he is strengthening his/her self only.

Hindrances

Other Christian were hindered to be baptized by the Holy Spirit because of this reasons:

A. Refuse to Forgive – Matthew 6:15 – if you forgiveothers, your Father in Heaven will    forgive you. 

What is repentance? A decision of not doing any sin again.

B. Forbidden Action – Deuteronomy 18:10-13, 2 Timothy 1:7 

C. Fear – Luke 11: 10-13, 2 Timothy 1:7

  There is no need to fear of the thought “maybe i will be recieving an evil spirit. The Lord gives assurance to us that when we ask the Father in Heaven for the Holy Spirit, the He will gives us the Holy Spirit.

Unbeliever – James 1:6-7
