EXPLAINING
SPIRITUAL TRUTHS.....
The Church was not just born on the day of Pentecost as I have heard some beautiful and precious people preach. Jesus had already told the church that their names were already in the book of life...saved... (Luke 10:20). Jesus had already revealed what believing and receiving Him caused to happen to those that believe..saved (John 5:24 & John 1:9-13). Jesus had already said that they already believed and belonged to Christ and the Father...saved (John 17:5-10). Jesus had already said of his believing disciples and followers that they were not of this world even as He was not of the world...this all means that they were SAVED (John 17:14-17) You cannot become anymore NOT OF THIS WORLD than as Jesus is not of this world and that is the very level of belonging to God and not of this world that Jesus used in that expression of all of us that believe He Is the Christ, the Son of God ( John 17:14-17 & 1st John 5:1-5) And all this was said of them that believed and belonged to Christ long before the day of Pentecost.....
These scriptures and there are more, show us plainly the spiritual belonging of those believers before they went to the upper room. They were already born of God in the spirit by faith in Jesus Christ. The Word of the gospel ITSELF is alive and a living thing of Gods Spirit. Jesus revealed this clearly in John 5:21 , 26...the Son in these scriptures is THE WORD OF GOD....The Word of the gospel is as alive itself as the Eternal Spirit of God. Heaven and earth Jesus said shall pass away, but My Words My Words shall never pass away. The word of the gospel is so alive itself being spoken and breathed out by the Eternal Spirit of God that it is life giving and gives life to all those that believe and mix faith with it (Hebrews 4:2) (1 Peter 2:23-25).
The creation itself shows the life giving power of the Word of God, the Seed of the Spirit, of the Lords Spirit. The creation is born of Gods Spoken words and so also is every one who is born of God by THE WORD OF THE GOSPEL BELIEVED.....
On the day of Pentecost, those who already believed and belonged to God by faith in Jesus Christ were all assembled together in the upper Room as OBEDIENT CHILDREN OF GOD IN CHRIST doing as Jesus told them. Those whose names were already in the book of life had gathered in the upper room. Those who Jesus himself said were not of this world even as He is not of this world were assembled together in the upper room.
So what then did happen on the day of Pentecost in the upper room? Well Im glad you asked....What happened was EXACTLY what Jesus said would happen to his already established church....You shall receive Power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you (Luke 24:49 7 Acts 1:8). God gave all the world Christ to receive for salvation. Then afterwards God gave (THE SAVED) those who first received Christ, He sent them and gave them the other comforter, the promise of the Holy Ghost. Ephesians 1:12-16. Also as it is properly written of this matter in Galations 4:4-6) And because you are the believing ones, BECAUSE YOU ARE SONS (Not everyone on earth is a son or daughter of God, many are still children of the devil), God therefore has sent the Spirit of HIS SON into your hearts...Amen...deno.....share freely.
