The Voice of Resurrection

 

 

 

 This sermon, entitled "The Voice of Resurrection" was preached at the Mount Zion Fellowship in Jerusalem, Israel on Sunday morning, May 5, 2003. 

 

These were my Sermon notes:

John 6:47-71

The crowds were in love with the miracles, not the miracle-worker.

People, today are in love with the church, not the Bridegroom. (Church activities)

They had a form of godliness, but deny the power, thereof.

What power? Power of Transformation

“If any man be in Christ... new creature.” (Things once loved...)

A lot of people want Jesus on the inside, but they don't want to be inside of Jesus. Baptism of Holy Ghost and Fire. (Don't want to get their hair wet)

The days ahead are days to get in or get out. No straddling.

“How halt ye between two opinions, if God be God....” (Lukewarm I will spew..)

As long as He was multiplying loaves and fishes... they were happy

Homecoming or Food at Church. Every comes.

When He begin to reveal Himself and breath the Words of Life to them...

They couldn't handle the meat of the Word, nor His blood.

Churches are taking the “blood” out of Hymnals and sermons.

Without the blood of Yeshua, we're lost. “Power in the blood”

If we don't eat His flesh and drink His blood, we're doomed to Hell.

He is the Word made flesh. Flesh = Word. Blood is new covenant of salvation.

His Words are Spirit and they are life.

When it came to eating the Word and drinking His atonement, they turned back.

They liked thinking He would deliver them from Roman oppression.

But saving them from ceremonial sacrifice was too much.

There's no other salvation, but through Jesus.

Only one way to the Father. Not through Buddha, Mohamed, Hindu...

He turned to His disciples, “Will ye go also?” Will you follow the ways of the world.

Will you go down the road other churches have gone? Away from Me.

People get disgruntled with church and turn back to sin.

“Thou has the words of Eternal life.” - Not the wisdom of man, but demonstration and power of His Spirit. - Peter

Will we go to the scribes? Pharisees? Great speakers? Follow the multitudes?

He was the Word. (Way, Truth, Light) Foundation (All other ground...)

Even the rulers of synagogue said, “Never man spake like this man.”

The people said, “He spake, “the worlds were framed.” (Let there be Light.)

“In the beginning was the Word... All things were made by Him.”

His Words have a creative force.

His voice can shake the Earth... Hebrews 12:26

His voice can be a still, small leading... I Kings 19:12

He is the voice of resurrection... John 11:25

“To whom should we go?” Standing before them was the Resurrection.

He said, “I go to my Father, but I will not leave you comfortless... I will come to you.

“I will be with you, even in you...”

Day of Pentecost... He came inside

“If the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead... shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Romans 8:11

“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall...”

“He is able to do exceedingly....”

If the Word of God and Resurrection power is not working in you, you're DEAD!

Doesn't matter what church you belong to.

Or who you know in this life.

Who you shake hands or rub shoulders.

How smart you are, or where you live.

If the Holy Ghost power doesn't work in you, you're DEAD!

“Know Him in power of His Resurrection. Not just in passing, but intimately...
