The Power of Pentecost

Speaking in Tongues

May 26, 2024 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Luke 24:48–49, Acts 1:4–8, Acts 2:1–4, Acts 10:44–48, 1 Corinthians 14:1–2

When we receive Holy Spirit, we should expect to speak in tongues.

Holy Spirit doesn't take over your tongue, but does tell you what to say, giving you the words to speak out of your mouth. We have to speak what He says.

First - We are filled with the PERSON of HOLY SPIRIT.

THEN - Holy Spirit tells us what to say.

It's Holy Spirit's job to give us the "utterance," but it's our job to do the speaking.

"While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who heard the word. And those of the circumcision who believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also. For they heard them speak with tongues and magnify God. Then Peter answered, “Can anyone forbid water, that these should not be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then they asked him to stay a few days." Acts 10:44-48

Women Be Quiet in Church - WHAT?

September 15, 2024 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • 1 Timothy 2:8–15, 1 Corinthians 11, 1 Corinthians 14, Mark 7:3, Galatians 3:27–29

Church we have taken scripture that was meant for a specific people, with a specific issue, during a specific time, and used it in 2024 as God's law, rather than recognizing it as the law and tradition of man. There are no laws according to God that says that women cannot speak in church. Paul did not contradict himself in 1 Corinthians chapter 14 and chapter 11. Women - you have the same access & right to the promises of Abraham as heirs of Christ, as the men do. We must stop comparing ourselves with one another, pushing one another down. We must be secure in who we are in Christ. Be secure Woman! Be Secure Man! You must be who God called you to be.

Paul wrote to the church at Corinth for the purpose of speaking about the expectation of being in harmonious relationships and unity in the house of God, and then instructed them with how that is accomplished in light of using the gifts to bring Edification, Unity & Peace. The Church should be: Speaking in tongues ✓ Interpreting in certain situations ✓ Prophesying ✓ Desiring spiritual gifts ✓ Not forbidding speaking in tongues ✓ All things done decently and in order ✓ We must trust God to let Him say what is "decent" and "in order" and not our tradition. If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.Therefore, brethren, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid to speak with tongues. Let all things be done decently and in order. I Corinthians 14:37-40 NKJV

The Power of Pentecost

Holy Spirit is IN YOU for NEW LIFE, and He comes UPON YOU for POWER & GIFTS for ministering to people. Tongues is a gift we receive when we are baptized in Holy Spirit, allowing us the ability to speak to God, and in the spirit speak mysteries. The Church must not forbid it. It's going to be essential for all believers, the Church, to operate in the Power of Holy Spirit in the days to come. The wisdom needed in the end days comes from the Bible, and it's available. We must be on the cutting edge of prophecy. What is God saying in this hour?
