Spirits on SermonAudio

Tonight we look at the account of Ananias and Sapphira, and their lying to the Holy Ghost and its effects.

Let the Bible Speak - TV Recording 408. Preacher: Rev Maurice Baxter. Bible reading: Genesis 1 : 1 - 13. Subject: The Work of the Holy Spirit. The United Presbytery Choir will sing Glory be to God the Father.

The sermon exposes the stealthy and pervasive tactics of Satan, who operates as a roaring lion seeking to devour believers through various forms of occult activity and spiritual deception. It emphasizes the necessity of knowing the enemy's strategies to effectively resist his attacks, drawing on biblical warnings against divination and spiritism found in Deuteronomy 18. Through illustrative accounts of demonic influence and personal deliverance, the text highlights the reality of spiritual bondage and the destructive nature of Satan's systems compared to God's life-giving truth. Believers are urged to put on the full armor of God and rely on the authority of Christ to overcome these forces rather than relying on secular or occult remedies. The message concludes with practical guidance for helping others by listening, discerning symptoms, and leading them to submit to God and renounce sin.

We are shown through Jesus' conversation with the woman at the well that true worship must be centered on the Father and grounded in both spirit and truth. Many people are willing to talk about worship and religion while avoiding the truth about their sin, just as the woman shifted the conversation from her immoral life to the question of where to worship. Jesus did not allow her diversion to take control, but lovingly and wisely brought her face to face with the truth about herself, her false worship, and her need for God. Believers must not be deceived with this common modern type of worship that is built only on emotion, music, tradition, or religious excitement, and seek true worship that responds to the truth of God's Word through the witness of the Holy Spirit.

Genuine spiritual revival is universally accessible to any group of believers who fully surrender to God, regardless of their location or resources. It identifies intense, persistent prayer and a deep reverence for the Bible as the essential prerequisites for experiencing the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Historical examples from the Moravian movement, the Wesleyan revival, and various missionary fields illustrate how fervent intercession and scriptural fidelity have consistently preceded powerful spiritual awakenings. The text warns against relying on human organization or ecclesiastical efficiency, asserting that these are merely idols that hinder divine intervention. Ultimately, the message calls for a return to absolute dependence on God through prayer and His Word to bring about global evangelization.

This sermon clarifies the biblical doctrine of election and predestination, asserting that these concepts apply exclusively to believers rather than determining eternal destiny. The speaker explains that God foreknows who will believe the gospel and marks them out for a special purpose, emphasizing the role of the Holy Spirit in sanctification and sealing the believer. Key theological themes include the spiritual blessings granted to the elect, such as adoption as children of God and an eternal inheritance. The message outlines the process of predestination: being called, justified, and ultimately conformed to the image of Christ. The tone is pastoral and instructional, aiming to provide comfort through the security of salvation while urging believers to live in obedience and glorify God.

Isa. 59:12-13a 12 For our transgressions are multiplied before you, and our sins testify against us; for our transgressions are with us, and we know our iniquities: 13 transgressing, and denying the Lord, and turning back from following our God, - Gospel Need (vv.2b-3) Ro. 5:12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 2 Thess. 1:7b-9 7 .. when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels 8 in flaming fire, inflicting vengeance on those who do not know God and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might, Jo. 3:7-8 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You[d] must be born again.' 8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit." 1 Jo. 2:29 If you know that he is righteous, you may be sure that everyone who practices righteousness has been born of him. 1 attachment

Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | Genesis. 2:7-17 The sermon explores the divine order established in Genesis 2, emphasizing that life and provision originate solely from God. It details the formation of man as a living soul composed of spirit, soul, and body, highlighting the intricate design of human existence as evidence of a Creator. The preacher contrasts biblical creation with secular evolutionary theories, affirming that humanity is the crown jewel of God's work. Key themes include God's clear permissions and prohibitions in the Garden of Eden and the serious consequences of disobedience. Ultimately, the message calls for total obedience to God's Word, recognizing His sovereignty over life, death, and moral law.

Church: (Gk ekklesia) a called-out assembly; a public gathering. Hebrews 10 tells us that once we know what Jesus & the Spirit have done for us: 'Do church or else.' Hebrews 12 says doing church is being part of the wonder of something that shakes heaven & earth.
