Even though we have been on vacation...


... I still can’t get out of my heart how I want Life Church not to return to normal but to move to supernatural. Thus, we continue the series “Normal or Supernatural”. Peter and John, after they have been filled with supernatural power are on their way to the temple and they encounter a man who was born cripple. Look what happens. Acts 3:6-8 (NKJV) “Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them--walking, leaping, and praising God. Today we are continuing through the book of Acts (if you want to learn more about Holy Spirit, read this book over and over) and we will again see how God wants to take us from normal to supernatural. 

In Acts 2 we see the disciples (120) have been filled with power (You shall receive power) and God is using them to be witnesses in Jerusalem and eventually all over. Lives are about to be transformed because someone’s body is about to be healed. This man is over 40 years old. Church people passed him every day but no one had anything that could help him until now. Holy Spirit had not been poured out, but now, supernatural power has been given to the disciples. Don’t ever miss this, behind every cry from the lost in our communities and in our world, what they are asking for is not all they need. They need Jesus and they need the power of Holy Spirit which is in you. When I meet these people I have to examine myself.

1. What I do have! What did Peter have? What do we have? When we are confronted with situations where supernatural power is needed, can we say like Peter, “What I do have.”

2. I give you! Acts 3:6 (NKJV) Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." 

3. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk! Holy Spirit is on you, Holy Spirit is in you, Holy Spirit power is available to you, but hear this, it is never nor should it ever be about you. It is about Jesus! Make sure you minister in His Name!
