"Acts of the Apostles"
Acts Chapter 2: 1-37
Acts 2:5 -7
Why and How was it significant that the people were speaking in other languages?
* God is not the author of confusion as it was understood all that was said.
* Acts 2:11 "...we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God."
Acts 2: 17 "And it shall come to pass in the last days , says God, That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your Old men shall dream dreams."
Reference Verse Joel 2:28 "And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour our my Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions."
-What is afterward ? After there is repentance for sin; After unrighteousness and sin is removed
*Prophesy: To speak the mind of God concerning a matter.
If God says it, it has to happen. It doesn't matter how long.
Acts 2:36 "Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
*Christ: anointed one
*Lord: Savior/Master
Many times we keep him as Savior and struggle with Master, as master implies ownership.
Galatians 2:19 "For I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ."
*Crucified: put to death
How did Jesus conquer death? Why could death not hold him?
He was without sin. He became sin, paid our debt, and rose on the third day.
1 Corinthians 6:20 "For you were bought with a price therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."
Increase comes from making him Lord. God wants to give you deeper revelation, but it will happen when he becomes Lord.
1 Corinthians 3:2 "I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal."
