Pastor John Hagee - "The Power of the Holy Spirit"

[Music] turn with me to act chapter 1 verse 8 as we talk today about the power of the Holy Spirit We Begin this new and exciting series of sermons titled you shall receive power say that with me you shall receive receive power how many of you would like to have unlimited power with God it's possible because the Bible says ask and you shall receive which means you have as little or as much of God's power as you want how many want the power of God to destroy destructive habits to eliminate fear to take worry and doubt away and to live with the confidence and the hope that God has for your future how many of you'd like for that to happen today the power of the Holy Spirit read with me acts 1 verse 8 ready but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem and in Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the Earth Heavenly Father We Gather in the house of God today to discover the anointing and the power of the Holy Spirit to be released in our lives in Jesus name we pray and all of God's children said amen you may be seated you have heard the expression that knowledge is power Albert Einstein created the world famous equation e equal mc² which produced the atomic bomb e equals mc² means that all matter has energy and that energy captured and released can released world changing power at the speed of light that's what that means I hold in my hand God's atomic bomb the energy and the power of the Holy Spirit that's released can quickly in the twinkling of an eye change your life the power of the Gospel released under the anointing of the Holy Spirit can change the world can change America and can change your destiny the Bible says in Psalm 68:35 he gives strength and power unto his people Romans 13:1 says all power comes from God say that with me all power comes from God Romans 1513 listen to Paul May the god of Hope fill you with all joy and peace so that you may overflow with hope how by the power of the Holy Spirit John 1:12 to as many as believed to them gave he power to become the Sons and Daughters of God the kingdom of God came with power the greatest need of the church in America today is the preaching of the word of God on the anointing of the Holy Spirit what's in this book The pulpits of America right now are flooded with timid preachers who are saying things like if you'll repent to some extent you can be saved to some degree maybe the message from God Almighty is the soul that sinth shall surely die the wages of sin is death the gift of God is eternal life can I get a amen amen St Paul continues the theme of power he says for I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God to Salvation to everyone who believes do you believe he says to the Jew first and to the Greek that would mean the Gentiles the Jewish people had this message long before we ever knew it existed don't ever say that they're cut out God Almighty loves the Jewish people with an everlasting love there are two kinds of power in the Bible there's power over people and then there's power to serve people the power over people is to crush to control and to conquer if something in you seeks to control other people that's a demon Spirit the Bible calls it the spirit of witch intimidation manipulation that leads to domination is witchcraft whether that's in the government whether that's in the church whether it's in your marriage recognize it for what it is and stop it the second kind of power is the power of the Gospel gives you the power to serve Jesus Christ who was the greatest among all men he and his disciples arrived at the upper room they were getting ready for the feast they all had dirty feet because they had been walking in the dust and dirt of the road Jesus was the one who washed the feet not the disciples why didn't they because they were concerned about what their image would be in the Kingdom that they thought Jesus was going to do on the earth how can they rule and Reign other people and bow and wash feet but the one who had greatest strength the Son of God knelt on his knees and washed their dirty stinking feet because he was the only one who had enough power to do the unthinkable task do you do you do you have the power to do the unlovable task the Unseen task the unnoticed task the task that will not get your name printed in the church newsletter serving God in the 21st century demands Supernatural power demons do not leave because you think positively they leave because you have the power to drive them [Applause] out Mark 16 and 17 and these signs shall follow them that believe in my name they shall cast out demons that requires power from God diseases do not disappear Because You Weep with emotion they disappear because there's healing power in the word of God the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise them up are you or someone in your family facing a deadly disease or someone has been critically injured or someone is overwhelmed by disappointment or depression pray for that person unto the anointing of the Holy Spirit and they will recover that's God's promise to you do that spiritual Revival will not come to America while the church lives with compromise in carnality it will come when the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached under the power and the anointing of the Holy Spirit ritual is replaced with repentance when hype is replaced with Holiness when ceremony has been replaced to the confession of sin righteousness exalts a nation righteousness exalts a church but sin is a reproach to any people Psalms 11 says if the foundations are destroyed what can the righteous do the foundations of America are being destroyed the foundations of the American family have been destroyed our nation is suffering from the absentee father there will never be enough money to replace an absentee father the foundations of America are being destroyed our government is corrupt our schools are being corrupted socialist indoctrination centers Supernatural power will crush anti-Semitism that now flourishes in America's colleges and universities love is of God and those who have not love listen to this have not God I want to say that again love is of God and those who have not love do not have God the question is asked is it ever right to defy the government and the answer is yes when the government defies the word of God we live by the laws of this government when the government in Washington defies this we practiced this when the government says you cannot attend church this book says forsake not the assembling of yourselves together power from God empowers you to reach your Divine Destiny to be the best you can be to reach for your Highest Potential to conquer the World the Flesh and the devil to stand in the winner circle as a champion for Christ the question is what would you attempt to do for the Lord if you knew you could not fail what would you attempt to do in your business if you knew you could not fail your thoughts and your dreams are not greater than God's ability to provide nothing is impossible to you when you really buy into that you're liberated from fear and doubt and anxiety lie on the wings of Faith to accomplish The Impossible Give the Lord a shout of Praise In The House of God the Bible says unto him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or imagine let your imagination go as far as it will go just for a moment let your mind Escape the Prison of your limitations what can you imagine what would you dare to attempt with your life you can do that God's power will explode within you and you will accomplish your spiritual dream your dream for your life nothing is impossible you have unlimited access to the throne of grace use it in Jesus name Give the Lord [Applause] Praise St Paul said I'm not ashamed of the gospel Paul was a Roman citizen Rome had power over people power to crush to conquer and to control to the Romans the death of Jesus on the cross was a testimony of absolute weakness it was shameful it was pathetic for the Romans it was Despicable much of the Church of Jesus Christ in America is ashamed of the Gospel Jesus Christ said I have come that you may have life and have it more abundantly abortion destroys life abortion is murder fitting all drugs that kill what are we doing about it absolutely nothing this was manufactured in China sent to Mexico plac into Phill form and brought across our Southern border what should we do about it close the border that's what to do about it Jesus said no man can serve two masters we must decide to either offend God or offend the world we are at war with the World the Flesh and the devil compromise is treason in the courts of Heaven the church has watched in silence as America has fallen into this socialist sewer it's time for the Church of Jesus Christ to wake up to speak up to stand up and fight the good fight and fight to win and fight now as the world around us seems to take a very dark turn you might ask yourself is it possible to prosper in every area of life even in such perilous times the answer is yes are you trusting him to lead the way and show you what steps to take next in him you have the ability to prosper to help you grow in your faith and learn how to trust the Lord through your

word the power of the blood the power of His Name arise and do exploits in the name of the Lord Jesus consider the power of the Holy Spirit the benefits the Holy Spirit brings to the life of every believer believer here first is powerful witnessing how many of you witness for Jesus Christ on a regular basis acts 1 and8 for you shall receive power say that with me but you shall receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you shall be Witnesses unto me notice that the witness is unto Jesus Christ because Christ is the answer don't try to sell people on Cornerstone Church sell them on Jesus Christ because this is his [Applause] church on the day of Pentecost 120 were filled with the spirit why were there 120 people there because this was an official National Prayer in the Jewish faith you have to have 10 people to have a prayer meeting there are 12 tribes in Israel 10 * 12 is 120 so this is an official National Prayer 120 in the upper room when they were filled with the spirit they went into the streets and started witnessing to the thousands of people who were there from all over the world it was the greatest evangelism explosion since television came out all over the Earth secondly the holy spirit Power for prayer Romans 8:26 likewise the spirit also helps our weaknesses for we know not what we should pray for as we ought but the Holy Spirit himself the third person of the godhead makes intercession for us listen and he that means god almighty who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the spirit because he makes intercession for the Saints according to the will of God when you are are praying about something that you don't know the answer to you don't know which way God wants to take you you are praying about it from the depths of your soul and the Holy Spirit is your paraclete that's the Bible word actually it means lawyer but he is your Advocate and he goes to God the Father the the Holy Spirit goes to God the father and says this is what she's trying to say this is what he's trying to say this is what their problem is God the Father brings the answer back and whether you know it or not the problem is solved but it's coming back from Heaven sometimes God leaves you hanging on the cliff but he will always answer prayer I don't know why God always answered my big prayers at the last second but he has never failed me thirdly the holy spirit Power for teaching you all things John 14:26 the helper the Holy Spirit whom the father will send my name will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I have said to you the holy spirit is the author of the written word of God that's the Bible and he's the one who comes to help you understand the word of God it was the Holy Spirit that opened my mind in my my eyes to the truth of God's word concerning Israel and the Jewish people for instance in seminary I was told to stay away from Romans 9:111 our professor had an earned doctorate degree and was highly touted as a theologian but why should I not look at Romans 9:10 and 11 this was Paul's position paper on the Jewish people given to him by God the holy Spirit why should I not know what's in that scripture I found out very quickly replacement theology is a false Doctrine saying that God has replaced the Jewish people with the church is wrong God has given the Gentiles their day of salvation but he hasn't cast the Jewish people off God loves the Jewish people has God Cast Away his people Paul says certainly not certainly not he said says I am a Jew and God is still using me he's not done using the Jewish people Romans 11:7 teaches that Jewish people were judicially blinded to the identity of Jesus as the Messiah this was a major Discovery for me think this blindness was not their choice God did it God did it the Jewish people come to know the Messiah by by Revelation by literal appearance Gentiles come to know Jesus by propagation that means preaching the word of God but remember the conversion of St Paul where God knocked him off his horse and God says why are you persecuting me now Paul was throwing Christians into prison they were being killed when Paul called himself a murderer in the Bible he was a murderer he used his position to get Christians killed the conversation ended this way Paul said who are you Lord and what would you have me to do who are you Lord and what would you have me listen and the Bible records in Acts 9:18 I'm talking about the blindness then Saul whose name was changed to Paul I'm reading from the Bible arose from the ground and immediately there fell from his eyes scales scales CA blindness Romans 11 The Tap Root of Judaism Abraham Isaac and Jacob support the Gentile branches which were grafted into the Olive Tree The Olive Tree represents the combination of Jews and Christians but there were Christians who got the idea that we're Superior in some way and Paul said do not boast Against The Roots the Roots of that tree are Abraham Isaac and Jacob fourthly you need the holy spirit Power for guidance and warning John 16 when he the spirit of Truth is come he will guide you into all truth and tell you things to come listen to that phrase and will tell you things to come God the holy spirit is God he knows the future the two things in the Holy Spirit can bring to you guidance and warning of things to come when I was looking for property to build this church it was divine guidance that brought me to this property on a country road covered with rocks and rattlesnakes there was nothing for miles around here my human advisors called The Church board screamed no one is ever going to live out here today this property is priceless we are here by Divine guidance this is Holy Ground this is Holy Ground fifthly the Holy Spirit brings to you a warning the Bible said he will tell you of things to come when I was pastoring the first church one Monday morning as I sat at my desk praying the message came straight Out Of Heaven by Holy Spirit Express you will be attacked but you will not be harmed that Wednesday night as I was teaching my congregation on how Jesus dealt with demons because the movie The Exorcist was out and a man walked into my church with a loaded pistol he walked down the aisle roaring like a lion we have a recording of This by the way when I saw the gun the message that I had received that Monday morning brought peace in a very troubled time that man walked within 10 ft of the pull pit and shot at me six times he missed every shot by the grace of God I encourage you when you have your prayer and your Bible time before you jump up and start eating tacos just give the Holy Spirit just give the Holy Spirit the chance to chat with you get in a place where it's quiet throw the cat out the back door and shut off the television and listen to what God the Holy Spirit wants to say to you you'll be amazed at how quickly some of your problems are going to vanish because he will lead you into all truth and everything that you have asked for that you have the right to have in this book will be yours by the power of the Holy [Applause] Spirit can we stand together what I want you to answer is this question have you invited the Holy Spirit into your life to guide you through the problems that you're now facing have you invited the Holy Spirit into your life period to be your counselor and to be your advisor the holy spirit will not come to you until you invite him in so we're going to pray this prayer and I want you to just absorb the presence pres of the holy spirit will you lift your hands to the throne of grace our most gracious heavenly father there are people in this room right now that need to receive the Holy Spirit and those of you who have not pray
