Global Center for Christian Development Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost And when the day of Pentecost was fully come (Acts 2:1).

Global Center for Christian Development And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high (Luke 24:49). Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

Global Center for Christian Development And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart form Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence (Acts 1:4-5). Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

Global Center for Christian Development Many think of Pentecostal as being a denomination or a church we can belong to. However, Pentecost is something you experience, not something you join. Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

Global Center for Christian Development All those who truly call themselves Pentecostal possess Pentecost. It is through the baptism of the Holy Spirit that we can receive salvation and become born again. This same Spirit gives us the power to be witnesses (Acts 1:8). So, it is when we receive this same gift that was poured out at Pentecost that we become Pentecostal. Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

Global Center for Christian Development Is it necessary to have the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost If it was necessary for the Apostles, Mary the Mother of Jesus, and other disciples of Jesus Christ then it is necessary for us.

Global Center for Christian Development The disciples had walked with Jesus for three and one half years. They had witnessed, preached, and even cast out devils. They could do these great works because Jesus was there with them. Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

Global Center for Christian Development However, when He ascended, another Comforter had to be sent (John 14:16). This Comforter was the same as having Jesus walking with them again. …Christ in you the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27). Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

Global Center for Christian Development Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost He comes into us through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Global Center for Christian Development If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his (Romans 8:9). Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost This Scripture implies that if we do not have the baptism of the Holy Spirit we do not belong to Jesus Christ.

Global Center for Christian Development But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you (Romans 8:11). Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost We will need the baptism of the Holy Spirit in order to go in the rapture.

Global Center for Christian Development No wonder Isaiah said, until the spirit be poured upon us from on high (Isaiah 32:15). Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost For this reason Jesus commanded the disciples to tarry in Jerusalem until they possessed Pentecost. (Luke 24:49).

Global Center for Christian Development The word tarry means to continue, defer, delay, long for it, wait, have make to have, stay, hope, linger, dwell, endure. Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

We must continue until we receive the power of Pentecost. We must be like the woman in the New Testament who would not quit (Luke18:1-8). Global Center for Christian Development Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

Jesus was relating a parable in which he wanted to point out, Global Center for Christian Development Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost men ought always to pray, and not faint (Luke 18:1).

A widow needed to be avenged of her enemy. The judge handling the case would not pass any fair judgment for some time. Finally, because of fear the woman would continue to trouble him by her continual coming he gave an answer. Global Center for Christian Development Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him ~Luke 18:7. Global Center for Christian Development Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost

We must be like the friend who came knocking at midnight (Luke 11:5-13). He requested, Friend, lend me three loaves of bread. One of my friends has come to visit and I dont have anything to give him to eat. Global Center for Christian Development Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost The other man responded, I am in bed with my wife and children. Dont trouble me now. I cant get up. But because the man tarried, he rose up and gave him what he asked for.

From this story we learn: Global Center for Christian Development Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost Ask… it shall be given you. Seek…and ye shall find. Knock…it shall be opened to you. He that Asks…Receives Seeks…Finds Knocks…Door Opened. (Luke 11:9-10).

Jesus wants to open the doors of heaven and give you an outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost Global Center for Christian Development Your heavenly father knows how to give good gifts He will give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him! (Luke 11:13).

Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost Global Center for Christian Development God made a promise and He keeps His promises.

Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost Global Center for Christian Development Romans 4:21: And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. Numbers 23:19: God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost Global Center for Christian Development When a caravan of travelers is in a desert and in desperate need of water they will let one of the camels go. The instinct of the camel will lead them to refreshing waters.

The story of the camel reminds us of the Scripture about the Pentecost outpouring. Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost Global Center for Christian Development If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water ~John 7:37-38.

Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost Global Center for Christian Development Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord (Acts 3:19). I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely (Revelation 21:6). And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And, let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whoseover will, let him take the water of life freely (Revelation 22:17).

Many times we have a shortage of water but there is no lack of supply when it comes to Gods reservoirs (streams, rivers, or wells). Lesson 29- You Are Only Pentecostal If You Possess Pentecost Global Center for Christian Development

1. Give a Scripture that allows us to know we should tarry for the promise of the Holy Spirit? Luke 24:49.

2. When can we truly say we are Pentecostal? We can truly say that we are Pentecostal when we possess Pentecost.

3. Is being Pentecostal a denomination or an experience? Being Pentecostal is an experience. We receive salvation and become born again through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This experience imparts to us the power of God and enables us to be witnesses (Acts 1:8).

4. Is it necessary to have the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Yes, it is necessary to have the baptism of the Holy Spirit. If it was necessary for the Apostles, Mary the Mother of Jesus, and other disciples of Jesus Christ to have the Spirit then it is necessary for us to have it also. These disciples had walked with Jesus for three and one half years. They had witnessed, preached, and even cast out devils. They could do these great works because Jesus was there with them. However, when He ascended, another Comforter had to be sent (John 14:16). This Comforter was just the same as having Jesus walking with them again....Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27) He comes into us through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

5. What can we learn from the woman who wouldnt quit and the friend at midnight stories taken from the Word of God? From the two stories, the Woman Who Wouldnt Quit, and the Friend at Midnight, we learn the following: ASK...it shall be given you. SEEK...and ye shall find. KNOCK...it shall be opened to you. He that ASKS...RECEIVES; SEEKS...FINDS; KNOCKS...DOOR OPENED. (Luke 11:9-10)

6. Provide a Scripture that proves God will do whatever He promises? Scriptures that proves that God will do whatever He promises are Romans 4:21 and Numbers 23:19. (Note: The student only needs one of these references.)
