SERMON NOTES:
The whole idea of “going for more”? Luke 10:38 – 11:13
“Going for more” is asking for more life in Him, more of Him in us and more of His working in our lives .”
Luke 11 9 “So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
11 “Which of you fathers, if your son asks for[f] a fish, will give him a snake instead? 12 Or if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion? 13 If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
Of all the needs we could use God’s help with why does Jesus encourage us to ask for the Holy Spirit?
John 7 37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.” 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Ezekiel 47 8 He said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah, where it enters the Dead Sea. When it empties into the sea, the salty water there becomes fresh.
Is my soul thirsty?
Where do I go with my soul thirst?
How do I drink from Jesus?
Awareness of “soul thirst” and knowing how to “drink” from Jesus is a revolutionary way to live!
