GOD CAN MAKE IT HAPPEN ACTS 1:8

Introduction  Getting the right perspective determines how we respond to truth.  When Goliath came against the Israelites, the soldiers thought:

 “He is big. We can never kill him.”  David looked and said “He is so big, I cannot miss.”  How do we reflect the fullness of God’s glorious truth?

1. HIS AUTHORITY.  In Matt.28:18-20, Jesus emphasizes His authority over all things.  He supplies us with the power and authority to complete His mission.

A.His power is over all heavenly and earthly powers of opposition.(Matt. 28:18-20) B.In Luke 24: His authority is available to any one who will go in His name and for His sake.

 He will protect, propel and empower us for His name sake.  His presence will go with us and give us rest, assurance and confidence.

 We need not be worried about the results since we are called to obey and trust His name.  C. John 20:21 – we are sent by Christ as he was sent by the Father.

 Story  Two battleships assigned to a training squadron.  Heavy fog. See a steady light in the distance.  “Signal the ship to change course – twenty degrees” says the captain.

 Answer came back –”You change your course.”  “I am a captain of a battle ship”.  “ I am a Lighthouse.”  The captain changed course.

2. HIS ENABLEMENT.  Christ’s enablement gives us the means, resources and the strength to carry out His purpose for our life. a.Matt.28:18-20 – He is WITH US to the end of the age.

a.John 14:16,17 – Another Counselor to be with you forever.  To give knowledge, insight and wisdom.  Very often, we neglect spiritual maintenance even though we are “clothed with power” – Luke 24:49.

c. Acts 1:8 – The Spirit’s power is perfectly set to supply each of us.  He will infuse you with motivation, strength and energy. Story  Rose parade in America.  A beautiful float suddenly runs out of petrol.

 Someone runs to buy petrol.  The float belonged to the Standard Oil Company which has vast resources of oil.

3. HIS MESSAGE.  Not enough to just preach the Gospel but we are to teach it.  We must first be informed, then persuaded, then taught to teach others.

 Let us teach transformation and not just for information sake.  We need to be examples of Christ’s so that others can imitate Him – Luke 6:40

 Find the best ways to disciple others.  Nearly 90% of people listen to their family and friends.  Preach the whole counsel of God.

 Speak in love so that people will be able to grow up in Christ.  We are seeking followers not babies.

4. HIS GUIDANCE  In order to accomplish the Great Commission, we must gain skills in teaching, disciple –making and be ready to go to different people groups.  There are about 18,800 people groups.

 Approximately 2.7 billion people have yet to hear the gospel.  We need to cooperate with people around the globe to do God’s will.

Conclusion  Story  Shoe manufacturer sent two sales men to explore the Congo market.  One ed back: “Prospects nil. No one wears shoes.”

 The other: “market potential terrific. Everyone is barefooted.”  There are many longing and waiting to hear the message.  It will rescue them from misery, pain, sin and judgment.  What is our response?  How do we look at it?
