Day 5 UNLEASHED FOR MISSION! Repent and be Saturated with the Holy Spirit

Day 5 UNLEASHED FOR MISSION! Repent and be Saturated with the Holy Spirit

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭6‬-‭7‬

“Seek the Lord while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.”

‭‭Luke‬ ‭11‬:‭9‬-‭13‬

““So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish? Or if he asks for an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!””

The lapse of time has wrought no change in Christ’s parting promise to send the Holy Spirit as His representative. It is not because of any restriction on the part of God that the riches of His grace do not flow earthward to men. If the fulfillment of the promise is not seen as it might be, it is because the promise is not appreciated as it should be. If all were willing, all would be filled with the Spirit. (The Acts of the Apostles, p. 50)

James‬ ‭1‬:‭17‬ ‭

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭7‬-‭8‬

““Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you....

NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE PRAY AND FAST FOR THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WE WILL NOT RECEIVE IT, UNLESS WE REPENT AND FORSAKE SIN AND BE DOERS OF GOD’S WORD.

James‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬-‭22‬ ‭

It is not a conclusive evidence that a man is a Christian because he manifests spiritual ecstasy under extraordinary circumstances. Holiness is not rapture: it is an entire surrender of the will to God; it is living by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God; it is doing the will of our heavenly Father; it is trusting God in trial, in darkness as well as in the light; it is walking by faith and not by sight; it is relying on God with unquestioning confidence, and resting in His love. (The Acts of the Apostles, p. 51)

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭66‬:‭18‬

“If I regard iniquity in my heart, The Lord will not hear.”

Isaiah‬ ‭59‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭

“Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear. But your iniquities have separated you from your God; And your sins have hidden His face from you, So that He will not hear.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭2‬:‭37‬-‭39‬

“Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Men and brethren, what shall we do?” Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.””

1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭9‬

“If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”
