Introduction Many people turn from Christianity today because it is often presented as a list of donts But Christianity is not

not about what you do not do but about what you get to now do because of who you have become We should not aim to be famous because of what we did not do but because of what we did.

There is more, much more Becoming like Jesus is the goal not just in character but also in performance, in the works John 14:12 1 John 4:17 - as he is so are we in this world. We are already like Jesus in the Spirit God now wants us to live it out It is not just being like Jesus inner your heart there is more, much more Wow! {illustrations of what Jesus did that we are called to do much more} o Word of knowledge to the woman at the well o Healing of the daughter of the syrophenician o Speaking to the atmosphere to calm the storm o Touching the eyes of a blind man o Healing of mentally ill boy no one could help o Took 12 barrels of water and turned them into wine. Five loaves of bread and two fish and fed 5000 This is what Jesus says we have been called to do? It is because Jesus did it as a man anointed by God Yes the only reason Jesus expects us to have such a life is because - even though he was God, he did not live on earth as God he lived on earth as man anointed by the Holy Spirit Luke 3:16 22. Luke 4:1, 14 21; 31 - 44 Acts 10:38 he was anointed by God and God was with him. Here is the point: if you are full, you will overflow. The evidence that you are full is that you are overflowing. Jesus was so full of God he overflowed! Sin cannot stand in the presence of God, sickness cannot stand in the presence of God This is what the Lord is calling us to be as Christians Christ-like! That is why Jesus said in John7:37 - 38: if you thirst (for what, the Holy Spirit) come and drink and out of your belly shall flow Allelulia. The same Holy Spirit that overflowed Jesus - is available to you today! So that you can be like Jesus! Its not just to have the Holy Spirit inner your heart tucked in a corner its to have him like a tour-de-force in power and demonstration - Acts 1:8 What are some of the things that can happen to us after we have received the spirit in this way? 1 Cor 12: 1 11

o John Wimber saw adultery on a mans forehead and then had an impression of the name Jane. Does the name Jane, mean anything to you? o Kevin Dedmon who when someone asked him what do you do he answered I am a healer and she said I am a healer too I use yoga and meditation etc to reduce anxiety. Kevin when asked said I channel. I invite God to come and fill me. Then I leak him to people around me. When his presence touches people things like cancer, asthma, fibromylegia, broken bones, they often get healed Could you heal my husband! o What about Nancy Cobb who was speaking to the guy fixing her internet Do you work in a cubicle? Then she saw picture frames of trees on his wall Do you have such and such pictures on your wall? yeaah Is there a chair facing you and to the right of a desk a CD player playing instrumental music? Ok, who is this? You know its not a co-incidence that you have the nicest cubicle and people like to come stay there to relax. God has given you the gift of hospitality o This same lady, her pastor asked her to pray for someone who had just be diagnosed with breast cancer. And soon as she put her hand on her shoulder to pray for her in her minds eye she see a bowl of corn. She first thought it was because she was hungry. I dont know if this means anything to you so she began to describe the bowl of corn and as she went on God continued to show her stuff And when she looked up, the woman is crying. You have just described the house I grew up in I was raised on the farm and we grew corn! Do you know that time in your life when you were 8 and you did not have a care in the world God wants me to pray that peace back into your life the Father is taking care of you like that now! o Matt was praying for a couple all of a sudden he said to them I feel like the Lord saying to me, you have 3 children. The eldest is a son. He has gone away. But the Lord wants me to tell you his heart is in His hand! Their son had backslidden, then suddenly died in a ski accident and they had agonized for years whether or not he was saved! God wants to fill you with his Holy Spirit so you can do the same works that Jesus did Luke 11:9 - 13 Ask and keeping on asking, until you receive. Seek and keep on seeking, until you find. Knock and keep on knocking, until the door opens 1 Cor 12: 31; 1 Cor 14: 1 3 Earnestly pursue; earnestly desire, earnestly seek But if God is so eager to give, why does he want me to pursue and desire? Because he wants you to be just as eager to receive. It cost God a lot to make his Holy Spirit available. It is available to all. But to those who will be humble and seek his face. God wants all of us here to be able to prophesy to be able to hear specifically from God and speak to people words that will build up, encourage and comfort not words that will tear down and cause division. When the Holy Spirit descends on us in a might way during this Holy Ghost revivals there would be prophetic words flowing 1 Samuel 10:5- 11; Acts 19:1 11 why is this important because it is with the spoken word that healings, signs and wonders are performed but it is speaking the word that has been received from God to heal, to encourage, to build up and to comfort!

Eph 5:18 19 - when you are filled with the Holy Spirit you will speak to each other - to heal, to build up, to edify!
