Faith Chapel SD Podcast

The Apostles are doing remarkable things with great power and great grace. There’s a reverence developing amongst the community who are witnessing what the Lord is doing through them. It’s truly creating a cultural shift in the land. Everything seems to be going to another level! Even Peters “shadow” is healing the sick as he walks by! As ministry is developing there’s problems arising but then there’s answers to the problems presenting themselves through the wisdom and leadership of the Apostles. They’re finding those full of the Spirit and of wisdom to serve the community. We uncover the benefits to such leadership wisdom they display and pull out truths we in America should be utilizing as well. This is for everybody!

Pastor Josiah takes us to the Pool of Bethesda where Jesus encounters a man who has been crippled at this pool for 38 years. In one encounter with Jesus, EVERYTHING CHANGED! Furthermore, there’s a deeper intention to this encounter. Jesus wasn’t just interested in a temporary healing, but an eternal one. This man, near the Sheep Gate in Jerusalem must have seen thousands upon thousands of sheep led through that gate to be sacrificed in order to, at best, cover the sins of the people. Now the true Sheep Gate, with the ability to remove sins forever was before him and an unprecedented opportunity for eternal cleansing was available.

So many of us have gone through incredible trauma from our past and it’s difficult to see what the Lord is building within us when we’re right in the middle of it. But if we’ll remain patient and near to the Lord, He’ll showcase the wonderful plan He had all along for us — even through our pain.

Right after Peter is filled with the Spirit of God, he starts ministering in such a powerful way. God is filling his mouth with incredible wisdom and boldness which is bearing incredible fruit quickly. In a matter of moment’s he’s disarming those with accusations against his message. Doing things which look an awful lot like how Jesus operated. Furthermore, this experience of being filled with the Spirit is not a one time thing. It’s a powerful experience available to the seeking heart over and over again. The disciples were filled again and again, we should too expect the same!

Still riding the generated wave from the week prior, Pastor Josiah takes us into Acts chapter 2. A monumental moment in church history where prophecy is fulfilled and church is filled with power. The results are laid out incredible fruit. 9 things are mentioned as a wonderful template for todays church to model after this Spirit baptized church. A church full of power, bears much credible fruit.

Jesus reached out to everybody because He was on mission. He knew that He was the dominant influence in every relationship He had. So, when He eats with tax collectors and sinners it’s not just to enjoy their company, but rather to influence them with Kingdom impact. There was a great deal of intentionality behind it. We should expect the same. People all around you need Jesus and the ones you may be called to reach may not look like you, act like you, dress like you, vote like you or have a whole lot in common with you. Minus the fact that Jesus is pursuing their heart like He’s also pursued yours and He may be partnering with you to reach them. Are you available?

The Spirit of God simply took over this service. This recording was the short preaching in the middle of an intimate yet action packed gathering where the Spirit of God came through in power. People were filled with the Holy Spirit for the first time and many lingered in His presence for hours! Long after the service had ended and some had gone home. Many didn’t want to depart from what the Lord was doing. We need to live Baptized and empowered by His Spirit.
