The Original Pentecost

Having previously posted about a second Pentecost, the Lord dropped these thoughts into my head today!

When the original Pentecost came, the first church was born.

Then, as now,

Those who prayed in tongues were persecuted.

Those who layed hands and healed were persecuted.

Those who publicly prayed to Jesus were persecuted.

Those who publicly worshipped God were persecuted.

Those who proclaimed Jesus Christ as Saviour and Messiah, were persecuted.

That church still grew like wildfire!

Have you experienced any Deja vu yet?

The first church was the original Pentecostal Church!

Perhaps this is why the present Pentecostal Church is so ‘persecuted’?

Perhaps this is why present day Pentecostalism is so suspected by other denominations?

Perhaps this is why Pentecostalism is growing exponentially when other denominations are withering and many will soon have died?

Perhaps this is why Satan is trying so hard to persecute and break the modern Pentecostal church?

My ‘prophecy’ is that, just as a Pentecostal Church founded the birth of the Church, so the same Pentecostal church will carry the whole Church through the coming revival all the way to the Rapture!

I haven’t even thought this through yet - maybe I don’t need to and it can stand as given. Time will tell! I just feel the Holy Spirit wants me to release this NOW!!!!

Just me going along with Holy Spirit today!

You Have Said So...

MastodonWEEK 4 – “YOU HAVE SAID SO, BUT I SAY TO YOU...” Much of the content for this week’s devotions is from Chapter 4 of The Final Days, by Matt Rawle. MONDAY – The plot unfolds Matthew 20: 26b-28 Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave— just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 26: 1 & 2 When Jesus had finished saying all these things, He said to His disciples, “As you know, the Passover is two days away—and the Son of Man will be handed over to be crucified.” Read Matthew 20: 20-28, 26: 1-56 The disciples had been in the presence of Jesus for three years, had been present for all His teachings and miracles, and had frequently asked Jesus, after a busy day, to explain to them some of what He had said and done during the day, and He did. He had in the course of such discussions outlined His Gospel mission to them in many different ways and had three times predicted His death on the cross, but since their spiritual senses were not yet strengthened by the presence of the Holy Spirit, they did not understand that Jesus had to die on the cross “as a ransom for many”. Consider: In Gethsemane, when Jesus prayed earnestly He asked God, His Father, whether the “cup could be taken from Him, if at all possible, because He knew what was going to happen. I have often wondered how I would react when in a really challenging situation. In the past fortnight, in our small group Bible study, the leader asked us for testimonies about difficult periods in our lives, and in virtually every response the immediate choice of those who testified was to say they started praying, earnestly and persistently. When you find yourself in a difficult situation, life-threatening or otherwise, is seeking God’s help and/or advice in prayer your “go-to” solution? Prayer: Dear Abba Father, I praise and worship You for the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Passover Lamb, who died for all of us on the cross. The huge sacrifice Jesus made shows the enormity of Your love for all people on earth AND gives me the opportunity to choose to be rescued from spiritual death. I pray this in the name of the RISEN CHRIST. AMEN TUESDAY – You know the answer, but what is the question Matthew 26: 63b, 64 The high priest said to Him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if You are the Messiah, the Son of God.” “You have said so,” Jesus replied. “But I say to all of you: From now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” Read Matthew 26: 57-67 In the course of His teachings, Jesus asked many questions to His disciples, followers and the crowds. Most of these questions were asked in response to a question asked of Him. His questions were typically phrased in such a way that answering yes or no was not really an option. In order to answer the question Jesus had asked, they had to think carefully about their own journey of faith. His answer in Matthew 26: 64 above is not a direct answer but an invitation to both the high priest and the Jewish leaders to think – as you can see they reacted very differently to the exact same words. In Matthew 26 - 28 I find 18 references to scriptures in the Old Testament. Matthew wanted to make sure that the reader does not experience this Gospel, and especially its final chapters, as a failed campaign, but rather as a joyous victory over sin, the realisation of prophecies made hundreds of years earlier by the prophets. What a wonderful realisation! Consider: I once asked a colleague what his main work related goal was for the next 12 months. His answer, “I want to, by the end of this year, do what I now do between 5 and 8, between 8 and 5” was both confusing and crystal clear. He wanted to focus on his work life and achieve a better work/home balance, and he did! Is that how you sometimes feel when you hear God’s voice – “What does that mean?” It happens to me too, and over time I have learnt to persist until I discern the crystal clear message in God’s answer. Prayer: Dear Lord, grant me a discerning heart and mind to clearly see Your will for my life, so that I may walk in Your light and not veer off into darkness. I ask this in the name of Jesus, the RISEN CHRIST. AMEN WEDNESDAY – Three perspectives on the forgiveness of sins Romans 10: 9-10 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. Read Matthew 26: 31-35, 69-75; John 21: 15-25 (Peter); Matthew 26: 14 16, 47-50, 27: 1-10 (Judas); Matthew 27: 11-26 (Pilate) In these three different events in Matthew 26 to 28 we are reminded how important it was to receive forgiveness. By reading the scripture passages highlighted above, you can see that Peter was so filled with regret for his inability to stand by Jesus, that he disappeared from the group, thinking that all was lost, not knowing that Jesus had already forgiven him, in fact Jesus had an important commission for Peter; whereas Judas had regret and when the Chief Priests did not want their money back, went away and took his own life. Pilate, on the other hand, although he could not find any guilt in Jesus, gave in to the crowds and handed Jesus over to be flogged and crucified. For true forgiveness one has to repent and confess one’s sin and in faith believe that Jesus paid for it in full on the cross. Romans 10: 9 basically says that the core elements of what a sinner’s prayer should embody are: confession, belief and salvation. Consider: The narratives above on Peter, Judas and Pilate do not really show us how to ask God to forgive our sins and to lead us to salvation. How do you handle it when you have sinned and want to ask for forgiveness? “Pray continually” says 1 Thessalonians 5: 17. There is no verbatim sinner’s prayer, but the prayer below contains all three elements of the Romans 10 sinner’s prayer. Prayer: Abba Father, I admit that I am a sinner. I both need and want Your forgiveness. I accept Your death as the penalty for my sin and recognise that Your mercy and grace are a gift You offer to me because of Your great love, not based on anything I have done. By faith I receive You into my heart as the Son of God and as Saviour and Lord of my life. I ask this in the name of the RISEN CHRIST. AMEN THURSDAY – Reconciliation is not what you think Colossians 1: 19-20 For God was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him, and through Him to reconcile to Himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through His blood, shed on the cross. 2 Corinthians 5: 18-19 All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. Read 1 Corinthians 5: 11-21 Have you ever done something that is totally wrong, or unfair to the affected and/or impacted party but you cannot get yourself to forgive that person when they then cut you out of their circle of friends; well knowing that it is actually you that should be asking for forgiveness, and that only once that has happened can you hope to be reconciled with them? I have. In his book “The Final Days” Rawle says that forgiveness, more than faith, is the outward and visible sign of the Christian community. He then says the following reconciliation with God: about “It seems that at the end of it all, Matthew wants us to know, more than any other Gospel, that reconciliation with God is less dependent on our fidelity to Christ as on Christ’s fidelity to God and us.” I was unsure of the meaning of “fidelity” in scripture and looked it up. I learnt that it implies loyalty to the New Covenant and good faith and trustworthiness relationships. in Consider: The Apostle Paul in his letters to the Colossians and the second letter to the Corinthians elaborates on and explains reconciliation to the readers. So against this background, do you agree with Matt Rawle’s statement about fidelity, and if not, how do you see it? Prayer: Loving God, I acknowledge my need for reconciliation, both with You and with those who have wronged me, as well as with those that I had wronged. As You have forgiven me through Jesus, I pray for the grace to forgive others, to heal past hurts, and to build bridges of understanding and compassion. May Your spirit guide me to seek unity and peace, just as You have reconciled us to Yourself. I pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN FRIDAY – A rendezvous arranged from “beyond the grave” John 20: 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.” Matthew 28: 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see Me.” Read Matthew 28: 1-10 and John 20: 24-29 During His three-year ministry, which is considered to have started at His baptism by John the Baptist and ended at the Last Supper with His disciples, Jesus travelled, preached and performed miracles. Of all of those who had encountered Jesus and in many cases followed Him around, the 12 disciples and the women who travelled with Jesus had received the most detailed and intimate teachings of all. Yet, as we know, they were ill prepared for what was about to happen at the crucifixion. Jesus had explicitly predicted His death three times in the final days and at the Last Supper. Even after His resurrection, when Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, who on the morning of the third day after the crucifixion had gone to the tomb, went back to the disciples and told them what they had seen and heard and that an angel inside the tomb had told them not to be afraid because Jesus had risen and was alive. The women went on to tell the disciples that they had then actually seen Jesus and that He had spoken to them, but still, some of the disciples did not believe. However, after all that had happened, Jesus then appeared to the disciples, and later also to Thomas, who had not been present earlier (John 20:10). Only then did the message that Jesus had given Mary Magdalene and the other Mary in the garden at the tomb, hit home and they went to Galilee to await their rendezvous with Jesus. Consider: Have you discerned the call to your “Galilee”, or are you still searching? Give it over to Jesus. Prayer: We praise You, Jesus Christ, for defeating the powers of death; and we thank You for Your sacrifice on the cross for our Salvation. We stand in awe of Your resurrection; You are truly the RISEN MESSIAH. Come, Holy Spirit, come! We pray this in the name of Jesus. AMEN

One of the most difficult things to do in life, is to let go, when the Lord is telling us. I learned many years ago, that ACCEPTENCE IS A GOOD FRIEND. This is what the Lord spoke to my heart one day, as I was navigating a space in which it was me holding onto something.

Having been an outpatient psychotherapist, two of my go to therapeutic modalities in the profession that I still use today, are Erik Erikson's 8 Stages of Psychosocial Development, and Elizabeth Kubler Ross's Stages of Grief.

As I've been writing on "The Forbidden Fruit, the Spiritual Disease," over the past 4 years, throughout I've taught on videos that which I've been writing.

When we don't get our identify (form) from God in Christ Jesus, then we will enter spaces, such as relationships, jobs, opportunities, church, etc., looking for ourselves. Therefore, when we lose a space or relationship we've been in, we think we're only grieving that space or relationship we no longer have, when it is also, that we're grieving a version of ourselves that we identified with.

I remember navigating a situation years ago, and as I was out walking, the Lord spoke to my heart, "Robin, ACCEPTANCE can be a good friend."

It was such a profound statement, knowing Elizabeth Kubler Ross's stages of Grief, of Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression, and Acceptance, in which there's no order, and going through them, is different for each individual. Many individuals jump from Denial to Bargaining then to Depression and Anger, before moving into Acceptance.

In pondering on this Wisdom, I knew the ultimate aim the Lord had for me was PEACE; Acceptance brings Peace.

In hanging onto things or individuals, we can get sidetracked and think it's those things or those people, who define who we are in life, pulling our identity from those spaces. We have to understand that we are God's and all that we do is of God, and we have to live this life with open hands. We cannot hold onto anything or anyone.

The Lord has you reading this post to ask you this question? Where are you right now in your emotional health? Where are you presently with any stage of grief, in which you're wrestling to hold onto someone or something?

Let Go, and Let God, BE AT PEACE!

God bless!

Robin Kirby Gatto

"Peace I leave with you; My [own] peace I now give and bequeath to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. [Stop allowing yourselves to be agitated and disturbed; and do not permit yourselves to be fearful and intimidated and cowardly and unsettled.]" John 14:27 AMPC
