Holy Spirit filled Christians.?

Question

I will be preaching at a rescue mission this afternoon.
What should I preach about?

Cro-magan if you had read the question you would have realized that I wasn't asking you.But thanks anyway.

JON JON ever here the old saying "give a man a fish, feed him for a day.Teach himto fish and he will feed himself". Many today find it easier to give a man a ten dollar bill, than to give him ten minutes of their time.

This is a homeless shelter.

READy 4 Fri. Dear Brother I so much enjoy your input here, but your answer surprised me this time.I often find the Holy Spirit speaking to me through my Brothers and Sisters.Without them I would surely come up short.It is not my nature to do well and I can learn from them as I have learned from you.I seek judgment from them whether it be directly or indirectly.
Isa 1:17a "Learn to do well; seek judgment,......."
Please receive this in love, That is how it was sent.

I decided to let my wife pick the best answer here.But I want to thank all of you for your suggestions and prayers.I could actually feel the peace and comfort that your prayers brought, and in someway you all were a part of it as well.I am confident that God will see to it that you do not go unrewarded.God Bless you all with the cup that runs over.

Answer 1

Whatever God calls you to preach on thats always the only way. HE will give you the words He wants spoken today and then you obey. ISnt God good
OUr sermon today was so awesome, about false religion and all the stuff coming into the world and churches even, about the evil power of tolerance and the spirit also of deception . WE can love the sinner, but hate the sin and we should never allow ppl to think a sin is suddenly ok as we each can hve our own interpreation. Its all in Gods word, and thats what we must know and obey. Takes knowing God to do that, an dbeing born again and walking with the spirit. amen
but love the sinners and pray for them, without ceasing, tho never taking on their sins and saying its ok for you, but not for me. when we dont speak up, silence says its ok and it is now. God calls us to live truth , speak it and takes stands, putting on the full armor of God as we battle spiritual warefare. The HOly Spirit gives us the strength and knowledge to know just how to do it Gods way. amen

Answer 2

I spoke at one last night. God used me to teach about the fact that when two or three are gathered in one place. As I was meditating about the service earlier, God told me that the mental oppression would be what had to be dealt with first. About one third of the men that were at the mission fell asleep as soon as God started teaching. It was OK because the Spirit of the Lord said come unto me and I will give you rest. They rested but the Spirit communicated with them spiritually anyway. I know that they all were in soverine territory for at least a hour. What they do with it may come later, but at least a half a dozen men came up for prayer. Each to a number requested prayer for a confused mind or oppression in the mind. I believe that they were touched in the spirit of their mind and that renewal took place. The best thing you can do is to sing some very uplifting songs. I wanted to sing "Power in the Blood", but the Spirit of God took things right to the message, knowing there were some very tired men there. Praise God My e-mail is [e-mail]

Answer 3

How about forgiveness.
When we take a look at the enormity of God's mercy to forgive us of ALL of our transgressions, we realize that we do not have the right to withhold this grace from others. We have sinned against God infinitely more than any person can sin against us. If God forgives us of so much, how can we refuse to forgive others for so little? Jesus’ parable in Matthew 18:23-35 is a powerful illustration of this truth. God promises that when we come to Him asking for forgiveness, He freely grants it (1 John 1:9). The forgiveness we extend should know no bounds, in the same way that God's forgiveness is limitless (Luke 17:3-4).

RENEW YOUR SPIRIT NOW.. NOT LATER OR TOMORROW, LEARN WHAT'S WRONG IN YOUR LIFE & DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT....

Spiritual Healing is "Desperate Need".
Spiritual sickness and disillusionment is at an all time high. In North America, an average of 1,500 pastors and ministry leaders leave their post each month, again, most never return to the pulpit.

Each day, thousands of believers find too wide a gap between what they are taught in church and what they experience in reality.

Disillusionment then sets in. The believer works hard to make his or her life work, and often the result is burnout, anger or hatred toward the church.

The formulas, gimmicks, and promises haven't worked for these people, and many walk away from the Christian faith hurt and wounded, instead of loved and healed.

Spiritual Healing - Poison in the Pot!
Spiritual healing requires a spiritual diagnosis. When we become physically sick, we often ponder what we ate the day before. When we become spiritually sick, we should examine our spiritual diet.

The Christian Gospel leads to life -- real eternal life with God. If a believer follows a Gospel that leads to anger, resentment, disillusionment and burnout, he's been following the wrong Gospel -- eating from a poison pot! Elisha and his followers had the same experience.

The cook created the stew, and because he was eating it himself, no one ever thought the mixture could be poison. When there's "death in the pot" of the Gospel, it can make a believer spiritually sick, and even lead to spiritual death.

Spiritual healing takes place in the Tree of Life. Living in the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil leads to death. Even the "good" in this tree leads to death.

We must leave the Tree of Good and Evil and enter into "Tree of Life living"! Living in the Tree of Life is a whole new way of thinking for many who are used to "churchianity" - relying on the religious institution, rather than the living relationship with God.

If you asked the father to forgive you, God has forgiven you & no longer holds you accountable for past mistakes

Learn to forgive yourself & forgive others as well, then you will find forgiveness & joy in the Spirit.

Answer 5

Dear, remember when Jesus said, think not what you will say, that in that very hour the Holy Spirit will give you what to say. You need to pray to God that He will give you the right Word to preach because only He knows what the people need to hear. God bless you.

Answer 6

Well, don, guess I buzzed in too late, and your sermon was over and God did lead you to what to say. Let us know a bit about it when you pick best and include in 'notes'? Always good to hear the spirit talking. We do need to stress a lot, however, that above all, remember Jesus IS love. God Bless!

Answer 7

Hi Don, I've been reading your Q&A's for some time now. You won't have any problems when you begin tesifying and preaching. I know it will come from your heart through God.

It's a wonderful thing you are doing and I pray that hearts will be touched and minds opened.

God bless you.

Answer 8

Trust me, you aren't going to find the right answer here. Let the Holy Spirit lead you, because then it is the Lord speaking through you, not you speaking, or one of us speaking. Tell me how it goes, God Bless.

Answer 9

Pray & let God's Spirit lead & guide you Brother. I've prepared sermons before and God has changed It. Always let God be your compass. Blessings to you Brother Don S. May God's Holy Spirit be on you & I pray that God prepares the hearts of all those to receive His word..
