Pastor Jeremy shares Wednesday in Glendive.

John 5:19-20 Then Jesus answered and said to them,

"Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of

Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever

He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the

Father loves the Son, and shows Him all things that He

Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than

these, that you may marvel."

● To be a son implies a relationship.

● A relationship can take two forms.

○ The first is a positional relationship.

■ This relationship simply means you are

a child of God.

■ You are a child of Mr. Jones. The child

may never see his father in this kind of

relationship, but he is still the child.

○ The second is living relationship.

■ A living or vital relationship means that

there is communication, dialogue, an

exchange of thoughts and feelings,

sharing experiences, sharing vision and

goals between two people.

■ Mr. Jones and his children

communicate, see each other and

express feelings to one another. They

each know how the other thinks, feels

and acts. This is a living relationship.

○ Some Christians, who may have a positional

relationship with their heavenly Father, do

not necessarily have a living relationship

with their heavenly Father.

● For a person to be led by the Holy Spirit means

that somewhere this person is getting to know

God.

● They have fellowship with God.

● They know Him and take on His character and

nature.

● To be born again qualifies a person to be led by

the Spirit of God, however, the believer must

develop a relationship with God in order to walk in

the fullness of His leading.

Philip in Acts 8:26 Now an angel of the Lord spoke to

Philip, saying, “Arise and go toward the south along the

road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is

desert. 27 So he arose and went. And behold, a man of

Ethiopia, a eunuch of great authority under Candace the

queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all her

treasury, and had come to Jerusalem to worship, 28 was

returning. And sitting in his chariot, he was reading

Isaiah the prophet. 29 Then the Spirit said to Philip, “Go

near and overtake this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him,

and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, “Do

you understand what you are reading?”

● Philip found himself running to the Ethiopian's

chariot, getting him saved and baptized. The next

moment he found himself caught away by the

Spirit to show up in another town.

● There is no limit to what God can do with a person

who pleases Him by listening to and obeying the

voice of His Holy Spirit.
