An Unmistakable Presence Acts 4:13-22 Faith Community Church

Recognizing the Presence Living the Moment o Action words observed  understood  recognize  seeing  standing o Stares of intimidation

Recognizing the Presence Looking for Opportunity o The Sanhedrin o Observing, watching, seeing hoping … o This is what Satan does. “For Satan is like a roaring lion wondering about seeking whom he may devour.” o Be careful to understand o Its easier to intimidate another …

Recognizing the Presence Leaving them Speechless o Ordinary people o uneducated and untrained o So how does a couple of uneducated and untrained fishermen leave 71 members of the Sanhedrin speechless including the high priest? o “...they...began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.” o How do you know someone has been with Jesus?

Dealing with the Presence Seeing the Signs o Unmistakable signs o Confidence o John G. Patton, “...no weapon forged against you will prevail, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you.” Isa. 54:17

Dealing with the Presence Speak the Obvious o “...a noteworthy miracle has taken place through them is apparent to all...we cannot dent it.” o What an admittance!!! o This is huge o Remember …

Dealing with the Presence Silence the Power o DON'T SAY THE “J” WORD!!!!! o “Another Pastor's Prayer Censored”

Witnessing of the Presence Heeding Who? o So what did the authorities do? o Why is there such hatred? o Pity Brad Pitt o His gospel still says no to the forbidden fruit. o Brad Pitt wants to govern. o Christianity did not work for him or the Sanhedrin because it requires moral and ethical transformation. o “Be Holy for I am Holy.” o Brad Pitt says this just didn't work for him. o The world and culture says nothing unholy should be withheld. o Let us experience all things holy & unholy. o So from Brad Pitt's reasoning:

Witnessing of the Presence Honoring Your Experience o This is the question for us all. o Peter & John made it clear… o So instead of embracing the Gospel and it messengers, the Sanhedrin chooses political safety

Things to practice and remember: Be careful to understand Satan is no lion… We've been made more than conquerors, over-comers in this life. Do others recognize that you have been with Jesus? Is it settle for you? Christ and His Gospel is what we honor and heed. Amen.
