One of the greatest things that you would want to experience if you lived in the ancient world.
If you were one of the ancients, you would want shipped.
For example, for those who worshiped ancient Zeus or Athena, they did everything they possibly could to experience the nearness of their hand crafted deity.
And part of that activity would be manifested they believed in what is called enthusiasts or you recognize that word quickly, don’t you?
Enthusiasm, enthusiastic? Well, the it’s a compound word enthusiastic or enthusiastic being controlled to mean this.
The the Greek word e n is to indwell.
Theos is god and Astic is movement, like like spastic or or action or movement.
So the god in you In dwelling causes you to get excited and to then go into motions.
And could be at a NASCAR race. It could be at an NFL football game.
It could be about your favorite dessert. It could be about whatever causes you excitement. It causes enthusiasm.
Well, there’s no greater enthusiasm. In fact, I love what Noah Webster says.
Noah Webster says that the word enthusiasm should be strictly reserved for the Christian, who is indwelt by god.
Well, friends, grab your Bible. Let’s find out what it means to be indwelt by god and to truly be enthusiastic.
Ezekiel, 36 verse 26.
God says, I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you.
Friends, listen. This is what god says. You either believe him or you don’t.
I’d like you to take him at his work friend and try him out.
I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
I’ll take your stony heart out of you, and I’ll give you a brand new soft and pliable heart.
Verse 27. I will put my spirit within you. Did you get that? This is god speaking.
I will put my spirit within you.
Now watch And I will cause you to walk in my statutes, and you will keep my judgments and you will do them.
I’d love this for this reason. Verse 27 is glorious.
Can I read it backwards? Make might make more sense.
You will do my statutes. You’ll do my judgments. You’re gonna keep those. Really? Yep.
Here’s how I will put my spirit in you. That’s how it happens.
It’s the same equivalent that Jesus is saying If you love me, you’ll keep my commandments.
And when you hear that, you feel like surrendering, like give it up. No. No. No. No.
God says I will put within you my spirit. I will cause you to keep my judgments and do them.
This is the born again. Jesus said, spirit filled, spirit led life.
Christianity, don’t sign up for it. Don’t become a member of it.
Let god do it in you by the Holy Spirit of god.
It’s the spirits business to make you more like Jesus. You and I are just supposed to cooperate with him.
It’s remarkable. He’s remarkable. He’s also the life giving spirit.
The Holy Spirit is a life giving spirit. In Romans 8 verse 2.
The Bible says for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
This is so spectacular. The law of sin and death is where I was before I met Jesus.
After meeting Jesus, what happened?
The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus took control of my life.
See, how do you know? Because the things of god began to become interesting to me.
The things I didn’t care about before, now I care about.
You begin to think different. He begins to work his life into you.
I remember years ago in Israel, there was a a tanner.
Now that’s the old that’s the old term.
It’s in the new testament book of acts, but you know, a tanner is someone who works with skins, animal skins.
And, uh, you’ve seen them, like, shot bazaars and, and and kiosk and stuff, these purses, or these whatever it is, and that’s made out of leather.
Uh, but, uh, technically, a tanner did that.
And, uh, they can take hardened skin from an animal, and they work on it and work on it and work on it with oils and lotions and movements, and they start to turn it into.
Does he wanna know what a shammy is? Yeah. Can make it as soft and pliable.
As a shammy. What’s going on? That’s exactly what god does with the human heart. I I came.
You come to god with a hardened heart. We’ve got pain. We’ve got walls built up. People have heard us.
People are bad. That’s bad. This bad. And all this stuff, we bring all of our scars right there.
And god says, okay. Let me in a week. Are you kidding me?
But we open the door just enough for him to start going to work, and he puts a little bit of oil.
He begin he begins to massage and to work in his word.
He begins to go to work and your mind begins to get cleared up. The fog begins to lift.
Your desire start changing. Absolutely amazing. The life giving spirit of the Holy Spirit.
He says in Romans 5 verse 21, sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness.
To eternal life through Jesus Christ our lord. It’s his righteousness, friend, not yours.
Do you want that? Does that sound appealing to you? He’s the active holy spirit.
He is the active holy spirit. John 1723. The Bible says Jesus is speaking.
Listen to this. He’s talking to his father. It’s a prayer.
It’s the high it’s known as the high priestly prayer of Christ Jesus. He’s speaking to his father.
And he says, listen. I and them, that the the them is you.
And you and me that they may be perfect or made perfect or complete in 1, and that the world may know that you have sent me.
And I have loved them. Think of all of you right here.
And I have loved them as you have loved me, Jesus says.
Man, you wanna talk about just love and active and possessive.
And the spirit of god working, he makes the announcement that he’s the act of god of loving us.
It’s remarkable. We also know from Galatians 220. He’s the sanctifying holy spirit.
The Bible says regarding our lives, I’ve been crucified with Christ.
Not only is Christ in me by the Holy Spirit, but the Bible says that I, my life, Jack’s old world, has been crucified with Christ.
It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. Please are you guys awake?
That’s exactly what I’m talking about. I may offend somebody. Listen. Listen.
Just to be an e I’ll equally offend everybody right now just to get this point across.
When he says I’ve been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the son of god, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Did you hear me stress that? Why is that important?
Because you coming to this church does nothing to get you into heaven.
You being a Lutheran, a Catholic, a methodist, assembly of god, what flavor are you?
There’s 31 of them. Which one is it? Doesn’t matter? Are you in Christ?
Does he dwell in you? Is he the son of god? Did he give himself for you?
These are things that we must answer. I know you may not like me after this message.
I don’t really care. I need to say this to you.
Do you know that if you were to die today that Christ would invite you or open his arms wide and embrace you into the presence of his heaven?
You need to know that. You must know that, Christian. You are to know that.
He’s the sanctifying holy spirit. Next, he’s the working holy spirit. This is amazing to me. He never stops working.
He did amazing. Jesus was here, and he sent it back to him, and then he sent the Holy Spirit.
And Holy Spirit’s been working here for the last 2000 years.
That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you, the Phhesians 3 17. Sorry.
That Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you being rooted and grounded and love may be able to comprehend with all of the saints What is the width, the length, the depth, the height, to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge that you may be filled with all the fullness of god That’s the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.
Next, he is the securing spirit.
Securing by that, I mean, just uh, protecting you, wrapping you up, keeping you safe. Philippians 123.
Pulses for I am hard pressed Listen to this. I’m hard pressed.
I’m being squeezed on every side between the two. What is it, Paul? What’s crushing you?
He’s saying this reality, I have a desire to depart and be with Christ. Was he sick?
No. Was he chained up with what? Listen. This is Paul’s life. His target.
His target was to be with Jesus.
And he says, by the way, which is far better. He didn’t mean to insult them. The Philippians.
He’s saying, Hey, you guys, look, I longed to go be with Jesus, like, right now.
Here’s the deal. God wants me to stick around to help you guys grow.
Will you hurry up? No. I added that part.
But if I were Paul, I would have said, can you guys, like, step it up a little bit?
I can get out of here. Can you imagine? It’s amazing. See, really?
Jack, is that kind of morbid? Well, it all depends on what spirits in you. Yes.
I I look. I told you before.
If you Paul, he was the greatest known convert to Christianity. The world has ever seen.
Probably ever will see. He says to live as Christ. Alright.
So okay. So you wanna live for Christ. That’s right. Well, then we’re gonna kill you.
Well, to die is game. Yeah. So wait a minute. Say, what’d you say?
I said to live is Christ, and to die his game. So wait a minute.
If we kill you, you’re happy about that because you’re gonna go see Jesus. That’s right.
Well, we don’t like you. So we’re not gonna kill you to live as Christ.
Which is it? To live as Christ to die his game.
You understand if your target is heaven and the spirit of god dwells in you, No professor, no teacher, nothing.
No cultist is gonna sway you. It’s impossible. It’s impossible. God listen.
God is not swayed by the h’s.
The same convictions the martyrs had to die for their faith, those truths are still available to us today in the word of god.
The Holy Spirit is still alive. He still undwells his people.
Then, listen, that fact is this to live as Christ, to die as gain.
We leave this world. We go to his arms. That’s not bad, ladies and gentlemen. That’s quite awesome.
Remarkable. The Bible tells us that he is the gracious holy spirit, colossians chapter 2 verse 13.
And you being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he has made alive together with him.
This is that quickening I told you about.
Having forgiven you all of your trespasses and having wiped out all the handwriting of requirements.
That is the list of sins that you’ve thought and or have done that was against us. God knows.
Isn’t that amazing? Well, look what god did with that list.
That list, which was contrary to us, and he has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Wow. That’s awesome. Jesus died in our place. Took away our curse that was upon us.
I’ll speed this up. He’s the overwhelming holy spirit. Overwhelming. John chapter 4 verse 14.
Jesus said, whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. That’s quite a statement.
Is it not? You drink the water I give, you’ll never be thirsty. Really?
But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life.
This is not of this earth friends.
These next two passages don’t miss them. In fact, write this down.
He’s the satisfying Holy Spirit I wanna ask you a question. I wanna set you up for this.
Do you know when have you ever thought about what was the what was the first time?
If you have to be born again and enter the kingdom of heaven, which Jesus said you do, Then when was the first account of people being born again in the Bible?
That’s a good question.
I’m gonna show you where John chapter 7, we’ll start with this. John 7 verse 37.
Watch this. Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out saying, if anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink, He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.
It’s caught in the old testament.
But this, he spoke concerning the Holy Spirit whom those believing in him futuristic would receive for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Gorified means he was not yet crucified and resurrected from the dead. You got that, everybody? Yeah. We’re almost done.
You got that? Next passage is the answer.
When was the first person or congregation to ever be born again, you’re gonna know the answer.
John chapter 20, beginning of verse 19. Jesus now is resurrected from the dead. Watch what happens.
It’s it’s kinda funny, actually.
Then the same day at evening, being the 1st day of the week, that’s Sunday, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst of them.
The word is Jesus suddenly appeared. He didn’t go through the door is what it means. Can you imagine?
Thomas, are you scared? I’m scared. Peter, you Peter, I’m, I’m really scared.
James, James and James, are you scared? We’re super scared. Matthew, you’re pretty terrified, aren’t you?
We’re just terrified. And then all of a sudden, And look, well, he asked me.
He look what he says. He says, peace be with you. Don’t freak.
Peace be with you.
And when he had said this, he showed them his hands in his side. Look, you guys, it’s me.
Cause you know what? They would have thought. Being good Jews, they would have thought. This is a spirit.
That’s what they would have thought. This is a ghost. This is a manifestation. Jesus is here.
Look at my hands. What’s in his hands? Holes. Opes up his robe.
What’s in what’s over here on the right side? Whole. Wow.
Then the disciples were glad when they saw the lord So Jesus, here it comes.
So Jesus said to them again, peace to you.
As the father has sent me, I also send you And when he had said this, here you go.
Remember, he breathed on them and said to them, received the Holy Spirit, and this receive the Holy Spirit is not the coming upon.
That’s the Greek word EPI epi.
It means to come upon for service God, the Holy Spirit, comes upon Christians, who are going to go do something for god.
He does it by his power, not by their power. This is not that word.
This is the word e n.
The spirit of god, when he breathed on them, the spirit of god moved inside of them in that moment, And let me what I’m hap let me tell you what I’m happy about what it doesn’t say.
It doesn’t say, and Matthew got goosebumps all over his body. Didn’t say that. It’s not recorded.
Do you feel that? Oh my gosh. Do you feel that? Well, are you feeling this? None of it’s recorded.
I believe that’s deliberate. Why? Cause that’s irrelevant. The Holy Spirit moved inside.
They became born again in that second.
The spirit had moved in and began to go to work. And then we end here.
What does he go to work doing? Purifying us.
So listen, if you’re non Christian today and Christians have brought you, Let me I’m on your side right now, buddy.
The Holy Spirit at work in the life of the believer. Listen.
None of us will be perfect, but we’re not the people who used to be.
And by the way, that hasn’t come about because we’re getting older or because we we’ve been conditioned.
Listen. We’re not the same people who used to be because the Holy Spirit’s been working.
No. We’re not listening. We still mess up.
But if we’re really walking in the spirit, you’re gonna be the first one to know because we’re gonna turn to you and say, listen.
Uh, Louis. I’m thinking Louis. Lucifer, Louis, your friend. Listen, Louis.
What I just did, that’s not I Christians don’t do that. That was wrong of me.
That did not represent Jesus Christ. That was a bad attitude.
I’ve asked him to forgive me, and I’m asking you to forgive me.
Don’t judge Jesus based upon what I just did because that was wrong. Okay?
So unbelieving friend, you can always hold your Christian friends accountable to that one.
That pastor said that day if the spirit of god speaking to you, You’re gonna say, you’re sorry.
Well, that’s true. Why?
Because the spirit of god’s purifying us Just cleaning up our thoughts. Thoughts.
Did you hear me? Thoughts. And I, like you, am concerned, the Bible says that before Christ comes back, people, their lives will be like the days of sodom, like the days of Gamora.
And he says it’ll also be like the days of Noah.
Do you know what characterized the days of no one.
God said that every thought of every man’s imagination was wicked constantly. Does that not sound like our day.
But you know what?
We are all in that direction, in that point at one place, and he’s been changing us.
By his power. It’s not reformation. You can have reformation. Doesn’t work. I want transformation.
So listen, friends, god is the purifying spirit. That’s why he’s called the Holy Spirit.
He loves you. And he wants nothing but good for you.
I know that for some of you, you wanna argue about that because you’ve had nothing but bad happen in your life.
Listen, I want you to know the bad that has happened in your life is not from god.
It’s from a fallen sinful world. And by the way, let’s put blame where blame is due.
Satan is a very, very nefarious and mean and wicked entity that’s against us, but know this, god is for you.
And the god of the Bible loves you, and he’s good. And he always, the Bible says, loves us.
Now here’s the thing in life.
As a believer, we want to receive god’s love in action, getting to that word enthusiasm again If god dwells with innocent, he loves us, then let’s get up and do something about it.
Right? You wanna make sure you make decision for Christ because if you are not a Christian, then you know what?
Is your enthusiasm? Money. Memmon is the word for money. Maybe it’s your looks. Maybe it’s power.
Maybe it’s politics. Maybe it’s, uh, some sort of status And listen, when you have something dwelling in you that’s not real, isn’t it funny?
You try to project that out of your thinking to the world around you.
It’s fake, it’s acting, but it’s your enthusiasm, but it’s gonna fail.
Why not have the enthusiasm, the indwelling god be active within you to transform your life.
We don’t need any more reformation. We need transformation.
With what’s going on in our world today, the answers Jesus Christ for every single problem and its transformation.
