THE PROMISE OF THE FATHER
To the Christian struggling with compromise and sin, the Spirit was given that you might be made holy, to refine you like gold. To the Christian who fears for her salvation, the Spirit was given that you might be held fast in the grip of God the Father and to testify in your weakness that you are his. The one who perhaps doubts the existence of God, doubts the existence of this God, or doubts that God could in any way be for you, the Spirit was given that dead bones might live. He can do that today.
Acts 1:3-11 After his resurrection, Jesus appeared to numerous witnesses and spent forty days instructing his disciples and preparing them for the work ahead. Pastor Rod Bunton delves into the teachings Jesus imparted to his disciples, emphasizing the assistance they would receive and the magnificent event of Jesus' ascension into Heaven. The post The Promise of the Father appeared first on Grace Church of Tallahassee.

This is the first session of The Promise of the Father, Act Bible Study Led by Cricket Albertson Scripture Reading is Luke 1 and Act 1
Acts
Acts chapter two records the day of Pentecost. But pastor Ed is quick to point out that many totally miss the point of this passage, thinking it's just about the gift of tongues. The emphasis is really on God and how He keeps His promises. He's faithful and reliable in every way in our lives. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/302/29

The Baptism in the Spirit is when we receive the Spirit upon us, clothing us with His power to witness. 'Baptism means immersion, so to be Baptised in the Spirit means to be immersed in the Spirit (the Spirit upon us). There is a 2-fold ministry of the Spirit in Scripture for us to receive: (1) the Spirit WITHIN, at salvation, for our own blessing, holiness and life with God, and later (2) the Spirit UPON, at our Baptism in the Spirit. To be baptised in the Spirit, we must first be born again and receive the Spirit within (Matt 9:17), then we can receive the Spirit upon. Jesus Himself (1) had the Spirit within from conception, and then later (2) received the Spirit upon, when He received power for His ministry. At salvation, we were BAPTISED into CHRIST and received the Spirit WITHIN (1Cor 12:13). This is the ONE Baptism ALL believers have (Eph 4:4-5). In the Baptism in the Spirit, the Spirit within us also comes UPON us. The PURPOSE of the Baptism in the Spirit is POWER for ministry, for fulfilling the Great Commission. At our Baptism into Christ, we received the blessing for ourselves through the Spirit within, who connects us to God and His life. Next we need to surrender ourselves to God, to receive His power upon us, to be a blessing to others: “You shall receive POWER when the HOLY SPIRIT has come UPON you; and you shall be My WITNESSES” (Acts 1:8). The same Spirit we receive WITHIN us at salvation, wants to also come UPON us to clothe us with power. Both these ministries of the Spirit (the Spirit WITHIN and UPON) are available for ALL believers, and were prophesied in the Old Testament, as coming to pass through the New Covenant of Messiah. Jesus called this promised 2-fold Blessing of the Spirit: ‘the Promise of the Father', which includes the Baptism in the Spirit (Luke 24:49, Acts 1:4,5). At Pentecost, Peter announced the Promise of the Father had now been received by the exalted Jesus on our behalf, and was now fully poured out and freely given to us (Acts 2:33,38-39). The Father's Promise of the Spirit in both (1) His indwelling through the New Birth and (2) the Baptism in the Spirit is for all believers. The Old Testament Prophecies point to a 2-fold Promise to all believers: (1) The Spirit WITHIN through the New Birth, enabling us to live a holy life (Ezek 36:26-27), and (2) the Spirit UPON to empower us (Isa 59:21, Joel 2:28-32). This New Covenant Ministry of the Spirit is different from what was available before: (1) Before, no one had the New Birth or Spirit WITHIN them, but Ezekiel prophesied in the New Covenant all God's people would have the Spirit WITHIN. (2) Before, although prophets, priests and kings were anointed with the Spirit UPON, generally God's people did not have this, but Joel prophesied in the New Covenant the Spirit would be poured out UPON ALL flesh (the answer to Moses' prayer in Num 11:29). So it was promised that in the New Covenant: (1) ALL God's people would receive the Spirit WITHIN, and (2) the Spirit UPON would be available to ALL believers. This promised double Blessing of the Spirit was only made available through Christ's death and resurrection (Gal 3:13-14). This Promise is also called the Blessing of Abraham (Gal 3:14), which was 2-fold: “(1) I will BLESS you (through the SPIRIT WITHIN), and (2) you will be a BLESSING (to others – through the SPIRIT UPON)” (Gen 12:2). This is parallel to God's 2-fold BLESSING of Adam: (1) He blessed Adam by putting His Spirit within him (Gen 2:7). (2) Then He blessed him by empowering him to impart the blessing of life to others (Gen 1:28). Jesus is our perfect example. His life confirms the Spirit (1) WITHIN and (2) UPON are 2 distinct aspects of God's provision for man of the Spirit: (1) He had the Spirit WITHIN from conception (Luke 1:35), and later (2) He received the BAPTISM in the SPIRIT (Luke 3:21-22, John 1:32-33). In the New Covenant, He makes the same 2-fold provision of the Spirit available to us. But just because (1) we are born again and have the indwelling Spirit, it does not mean we are (2) baptised in the Spirit and have the Spirit UPON, for it is a distinct experience, coming after the New Birth. The Baptism in the Spirit is compared to Baptism (immersion) in Water (Matt 3:11). Just as a baptised man is covered in water, so in the Baptism in the Spirit, He comes upon us and covers us. “(1) UPON whom you see the SPIRIT descending, and remaining UPON Him, (2) this is He who BAPTISES with the HOLY SPIRIT” (John 1:33). (1) Jesus first received from God the Baptism in the Spirit, which (2) enabled Him to baptise us in the Spirit, according to the same pattern. His Baptism in the Spirit is the BLUEPRINT for our Baptism in the Spirit (except He has the Spirit without measure - John 3:34). If we are born again, Jesus wants to immerse us in His Spirit, so that the Spirit comes and remains upon us, clothing us with His power, just as He came upon Jesus.

Having been with Jesus Christ throughout His ministry, His original 12 apostles became deeply saddened when He told them He would be going away. But what awesome event turned their sorrow into joy? And what should that singular occurrence mean for us today?
Promise Of The Father 4 - 23 - 23
In this lesson, we connect the dots in the gospel of John to discern the prophetic emphasis of the gift of God, the Living Water, the promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit given to those that believe in Him. Jesus confronts and deals with our sin first, so repentance is required from us. We also discuss the spiritual meaning and significance of eating His flesh and drinking His blood in order to prepare hearts to receive His Spirit. When we do receive His Spirit, we will begin to learn what to say and what to do in this life as we yield to His Spirit, living life just as Jesus did in the days of His flesh.Support the showWebsite: ourfathersheart.orgPodcast: https://www.ourfathersheart.org/podcast or https://ourfathersheart.buzzsprout.com/shareYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_4PEL5CenmViSz2zjH3M6wRumble Channel: https://rumble.com/c/c-877845

Pastor Jim Alter Acts 1, Matthew 3
Acts 1:4And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father… The Promise of The FatherIsaiah 9:6-7For unto you a child is born, unto you a son is given… Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever.. The prophets not only prophesied about a promised child but also about the promised indwelling and outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Ezekiel 36:26-27And I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you. I will take out your stony, stubborn heart and give you a tender, responsive heart. And I will put my Spirit in you so that you will follow my decrees and be careful to obey my regulations.God will put His Spirit IN YOU was a radical, radical thought. John 20:19-22Suddenly, Jesus was standing there among them! “Peace be with you,” he said. As he spoke, he showed them the wounds in his hands and his side. They were filled with joy when they saw the Lord! Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.”1 Peter 3:18For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, Jesus died in His body but was raised from the dead- he was made alive by the Holy Spirit. The resurrection was the work of the Triune God. And if we are going to experience resurrection life, we need The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Romans 8:11If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.Joel 2:28-29And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh;your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions. Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.Ezekiel said God is going to put his Spirit in people. Joel said God is going to pour out his Spirit on people. Lee CummingsIt was as if God was saying, "I'm going to pour it out in such a way that nobody is going to escape dry. I'm not just going to pour it out on David. I'm not just going to pour it out in My Temple. I'm going to pour it out on the whole earth. It's going to be young men and old men. It's going to be men and women. It's going to be rich and poor. Everyone is included. There will be no gender differences. No economic distinctions. No age limits. All flesh. I'm going to pour out My Spirit on all flesh.”John 1:26-27, 33-34John told them, “I baptize with water, but right here in the crowd is someone you do not recognize. Though his ministry follows mine, I'm not even worthy to be his slave and untie the straps of his sandal.” I didn't know he was the one, but when God sent me to baptize with water, he told me, ‘The one on whom you see the Spirit descend and rest is the one who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.' I saw this happen to Jesus, so I testify that he is the Chosen One of God.”Baptism - To submerge, to overwhelm, to saturate, to take something under the water. Acts 1:4-5And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”Luke 24:49And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.Acts 2:2-4, 12-17When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested[a] on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others mocking said, “They are filled with new wine.” But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them: “Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. For these people are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day. But this is what was uttered through the prophet Joel: “‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh…THIS IS THATLee CummingsThe believers were supernaturally endued with unearthly power, spiritual dynamite, and divine anointing. Similar to Samson's incredible strength, David's power as king, Moses' ability to perform miracles, and the many other people in the Old Testament upon whom the Holy Spirit came, these New Testament believers received a special anointing that super charged them.Andrew ArndtPentecost was not an isolated incident destined to recede into the oblivion of history… but rather was THE INITIAL COMBUSTION that set off a chain reaction that will one day engulf the cosmos in the flame of the Spirit. Make no mistake: We are living in an ever-intensifying Pentecost. The Lord Jesus said that when God gives the Spirit he gives “without limit” meaning that what began in Acts 2 will grow in potency until the consummation of the ages.God didn't just pour his Spirit out on day 10- He is still being poured out. No matter your gender, age, race, or economic status, YOU NEED TO BE CLOTHED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH. Your destiny is to be transformed into the image of Jesus.What would it look like for you to open your life more to the Promise of the Father?
The promise of the Father is a special and powerful prophecy that Jesus gave to his disciples which has often been overlooked. This prophecy holds many lessons and implications, especially when it comes to our faith. Ignoring this promise leads to missed opportunities and a lack of understanding about the fullness of God's kingdom on earth. In this message, we will explore the dimensions of this special prophecy and its practical ramifications.
