Welcome to Windber PA's First Assembly of God's The Sermon Stir Up Gifts by David McGee Page

This is a machine transcript of the sermon. It won't be completely accurate of what's said in the sermon.

On the think that things are falling apart whether falling together and so whenever we have to give things of God in our life. We believe that God is causing all things to work together for good, that God is causing our life to fall together a fall apart, and that in these circumstances, God is going to work a divine good that God is going to work things in order that will fit where he wants us to be in our lives begin these Scriptures in second Timothy, chapter one beginning in verse three it says every time I say your name in prayer. This is a Paul, writing to Timothy every time I say your name in prayer, which is practically all the time. I thank God for you. The God I worship with my whole life in the tradition of my ancestors. I miss you a lot, especially when I remember that last tearful goodbye and I look forward to enjoy pack reunion that precious memory triggers another. Your honest faith and water rich faith. It is handed down from your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice NTU. You see, there is what you have what we have is a doesn't originate with us. We have the Scripture we have the outlay of the that the chapters and verses we have the commentaries we have the theologians in their studies and their input into what these verses mean in the context, and so on of where they were written, how they were written to whom they were written. We have always seen so these things were handed down to us these things were imparted to us no end and I think of this my grandmother knew my grandmother was a preacher. My mother was a very godly woman. My dad was a very godly person and so what I have is good and that handed down now, we do not believe that you get to heaven by osmosis. That is if you rub shoulders next to somebody else and their Christian. You don't become one for this case you wanted in a high time I brought my mother went to church. My father with it. Not in a desert in matters that they went to church and matters that they were there but you think God has a rich heritage that comes was not only in our family lineage and we may be the first of our lineage and guess what's going to happen. We're going to pass them on to our family were going to pass this on to our family begins with us. There was a lot made a few years ago about generational curses you know how that occurs was upon your family and upon the family a blessing always overrides a curse. The men of my saying always overrides occurs in the blood of Jesus Christ can extinguish can push aside cover up wash away every sin, every evil. Everything is ever been tried to place upon us. The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin and the effects of sin. The effects now. We recognize that the ways of sin is something that we dried with us through life, and the effects of salvation is that we are free from those failings and those failures are something that we learn from, but are never remembered against us. So God also remember anything against us in all of this has come into our life. All of this good is when you know rolling, and forward into our lives as a flood, I thought of those the other Johnstown flood and how that the destruction of the waves and the upper part of the wave was out over the bottom part of the ways because of it being held up by all the debris and all that stuff and crashing and destroying why you are alive. We have the overpowering presence of the Holy Spirit that washes away sin destroys barriers and sets us free, easy, this is the power of God at work in our lives, and that it is and how good I hand that makes this happen. It's how great God is and how the great. This power is in our life and in Paul is telling Timothy here. I have a precious memory of you. I mean, it was a tearful separation, but I have a precious memory of you and every time I think of you. I pray for you and that happens every day reminds us that when we are reminded of someone we pray for the we can even have our prayer list. My mom how many was on our prayer list. She had a hundred people and she couldn't legally spin, see anymore so she went through every night she laid on her bed and she started with and went through every person, every night over a hundred names, while M she would nailed by her bed or when she was unable to get up anymore. She would like and that and that but she still never stop praying for all those people every night until this is the type of heritage. They him have it to pass on to others. The pass on to our children and our neighbors and our grandchildren. And whoever they may be that we have this heritage that we pray for them and our prayers effectual for prayer of the righteous has great influence. You see, it is about. We had the influence God in us. He holds us, we've given them this place and we are allowing his spirit to quicken our spirit to touch the lives of others by what we say by how we pray and just God be with God help watch over Keith God, you know the need so that precious memory that triggers another year on his face, and which is a rich fit with a rich faith. It is handed down from your grandmother. I add the special gift of ministry you received when I laid hands on you and praying the special gift of ministry. Now here we have what we would call you for Austin. Our denomination of ordination service in which someone would feel alert has has pursued the call of ministry to go and serve as a pastoral or missionary that they would come forward. They were, after all their schooling, and all the tests in an and the interviews and everything come to the final part where they would stand before a congregation and before the press for three out of our denomination they would lay hands on them and confer a stall upon them that they would now be officially ordained into the ministry, and it was in that type of say that setting somewhat like that that Timothy had received this calling from Paul and this transference is aware of this is opening up the gift that is Vince B that has been bestowed upon you and I I think it reminiscent in the context that God had called Tim to this ministry by Paul Timothy to do this to being this and that, whenever Paul was praying for him. He was initiating and stirring up in bestowing upon him. What God had already laid in his heart that he has this place of service that Timothy wanted to be that God wanted him to be an was bestowed upon him, and Paul's telling him and then the special gifted ministry received Riley hands on you and pray keep that up, ladies keep that ablaze. Do not allow what God has given to you to die out. Keep it up, ladies like inverse coals hot coals, you know, if you don't put fresh wood, new wood on that and started up, it will die out the burn itself out. But whenever you keep putting new wood new combustibles on top of that, it continues to getting the flame continues, and it are alive. They resist blaze of God 's Spirit. There is this initiation of what God continual initiation of a God must do every day. It's renewed every day, every day gods call upon our life is renewed. It is a sense of direction as a sense of where we are going and knowing that God is at work and how that he confirms this over and over and over again how that God is at work and he begins by touching our spirits down in our heart, God places truths places nuggets in the places direction replaces things in our life and then we pray about them. We pray over them, and then we allow God to just move upon us and we begin to go in that direction and see how God is going to take us down this path that he has for us how God is going to lead us in their life. Remember last week that the light that God shines upon our path may be only enough light to take one step, but is it that all we need light enough on our path to know where we are stepping if she were here were Teller don't step on cats and that she broke her leg, get them checked out allaying like to see the path is a cow like that now. So we want alike to me. I was shined upon our path. David and El Salvador. He was walking down the path and him talking to me on the radio on his cell phone and his crazy mouse, El Salvador, you can be on the most desolate place where very few people even is no electricity, and they know that very few people and vehicles, and he thought was on the south of himself in a bottom of assignee. I hear all of our voting when the plot was what happened David Gordon didn't hear anything so it's okay now what happen they resist really most poisonous snake in Central America was on the path a normal step on it then I somehow know that God has enough light to shine upon our path for our next step. He thought it wasn't hurt, so we see the things that that that we are to keep the ablaze and then God doesn't want us to be shy with his gifts. God doesn't want us to be shy about what he has given to us no, no, I don't like to brag, but New Zealand and I will like to draw attention to myself. I don't like to use our system. Think of it in the context that they were spiritual people that impetus is this true story, the farmer was just illustrations throughout. I like to brag, but the big Cheyenne withholding and like drawing attention to ourselves and in reality we are drawing attention to God drawing attention to God for what he has done what he has given to us, and there was a time that four for me. There was a time in which there were people who were supposedly set themselves up as very spiritual people and they talked a very spiritual talk and they made everybody else feel inferior to them because of how spiritual they were and I refused to use their language. I refuse to talk the way that they didn't use those spiritual terms, the way they did because I felt it was so phoning because I felt they were phony, and they were, but the truth of who we are. Our language should refund reflected and that we should not say what we don't mean we should say what we mean and mean what we say that we should complement, we should complement, we should complement, we should complement, we should build with our words, we should build with our spirit, and with our presence, we should be. We should be the greatest encourages on the block. Now whenever somebody seasons come and they go all my another word of encouragement. I can't take it at that. And I'll always should wish of innovative encouragement when you do this you know we can work this out. There is a plan. There's a pattern there is a way that God is going to work in this. It is not this spiritualizing everything. It is the everyday reality of dealing with the hard realities of life and knowing that God is there to keep you protect you see you through these most difficult times and that has been the source of strength. I offer of people that I serve never thought of it this way, the town it takes a lot of God to people with dying people every day takes a lot to be able to stand there and hold her hand and tell the mist would be okay when you die, takes that knowing that God is bigger and that they are safe here and they will be safe over there. You see, it's not about talking about how we are going to make it happen. It's how that God is going to make it happen in us in what we do what we say because it's God 's spirit that makes the difference, not our words, since not how we say it. If the anointing behind our words, if the anointing behind what God is putting in your hearts see anointing behind that still small voice that says this is going to be good for me and my life in my household. It's going to be good and then we need to see how God is going to make that good contour reality how that God is going to comfort those who mourn how that God is going to give them strength to go through the most difficult thing they will ever face in their life. How that God is going to be there to be that strength that undergirds that help that power to become what needs to be in the face of great loss. See that God at work and that's God at work within the dreams that he places in our hearts and our minds and we keep that ablaze and were not to be shy with the gifts were not to be shy with the promises that are in our hearts were not to be shy about what God wants to bestow upon someone's life by giving a compliment by giving a word of encouragement by saying you know what God can make all this work together. God can cause all this to fit into place. We just need to every day wrote this in the letter about giving every day. Thank God for what he has given us, and that he and place of Thanksgiving. We are looking to God for his provision, not how I'm going to make it work, but how God is going to make it work and Paul says here today. Maybe God doesn't want us to be shy but the bolt and loving insensible. That's an odd combination ball plumbing, insensible, most able to be bold and is a lot of able to be loving very few presentable at the commonsense is an oxymoron. It's not common in many there's no sense in it. You know, and so we find that God has that combination of what God wants to bestow upon us is the combination of his word. The combination of his word, coming together with life and with problems with difficulties that are bigger than life, and that there can be a sense about it that I don't understand. I trusted my know that God can help God can provide. God will empower that sensible power of the spirit that speaks to our hearts in a way that challenges us to motivate us to belong to give us the strength to take our next step on the path that he is shining his light on, and I don't know about tomorrow, but I know who holds the day. I know who holds my hand. I know where I imagine I know that God is with me and that he will see me through your eye right this to stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance* appear throughout Europe. Your minds that we focus on keeping our minds and our hearts. You're before God. They were asking God to set a hedge about our thoughts and about what we see and what we allow ourselves to see about the things that would give us that quickening in our spirit that says don't go there, don't do that and don't listen to Doctor don't look at that big God is telling us to keep our minds PR in our hearts to your because agenda place of PRC that he just resides there were forgiven word home with him and were safe. The gift store it up as a fire on him. Embers of fire underneath a piece of wood. If you know what that's like, come some time that furnaces out downstairs will show you that that that that that we've got a hard coal Stoker and sometimes it's a hard, cold storage alike so and so whenever we are looking at this and troubles come our way troubles, difficulties obstacles speed bumps whatever you want to call them when they come, there's a purpose. There is a purpose of the devil, but it doesn't matter if it's the devil or the weather words, the neighbor or whatever it is, God is still the solution. You see, we have the solution to every difficulty. It doesn't matter who originated it doesn't matter where it comes from it matters only that God is the one of the solvent and my relationship with God is what he's going to start in my heart he is going to resolve or solve or give us the strength to go through throw it around or over it. It's going to be done and he is going to give us that insult when these problems come. He's staring, staring up what's inside of us, he's starting and we can never pray for God to change something or someone else without first asking is, is something that I need to change in the what do I have to take nothing about compromise will have to compromise to get this now what do I have to change in my viewpoint. How I see things how I believe what I have change what revelation does not want to bring to my mind and my heart in my spirit. One revelation does he want to break upon my spirits upon my heart about this trouble. This difficulty. This person to see if I do not. If I'm not caught up in destroying the person or belittling the situation or avoiding the situation. I will look for solutions and be at peace as I deal with them because it is his piece that enables me to face the difficulty. It is his page that enables me. I am at peace. It is a help of all aisles. Peace I leave you peace I give unto you, not as the world gives this piece is there to quiet our client our spirits and quieter mouth that it may not grumbling and complaining. Started up. It means all of the gifts and graces of God. All of the gifts and graces of God. The only most the time we think of the fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, meekness, kindness, forbearance and long-suffering weaving of those things being in there, then they are, but we also know that God has given us apostles and prophets and teachers and miracle workers and healers and helpers and organizers and those who pray in tongues and he is also given us the word of wisdom than the word of knowledge to get the faith, the gifts of healing the workings of miracles, the prophecy, the discerning of spirits and divers kinds of tongues, which is wise counsel clear understanding simple trust, healing the sick Dracula facts proclamations being able to distinguish between good and evil. These are all in the pot and we can say we've got been. But the real the real goal is a difficulty. The real initiative is how do we use them, how we use them and you see the problem that comes to us the difficulty that comes to us the person the situation. The government, the then crazy person at the traffic light. It doesn't matter whatever it is that comes in their is stirring, something that we have an answer for that need in that person that comes with a very heart-wrenching most difficult time in their life experience and wise wives wise counsel is not what you heard, or think it's what is triggered in the heart of God that flows to your heart to their heart and comes out of the pot. The doesn't originate with you. It originates with God. It doesn't originate with our thoughts. It originates in the heart of God and his third the need stirs the pot that brings to the surface. The wise the understanding, the compassionate, the person who can heal a broken heart or broken spirits of person wants to quit a person who is full of themselves and can do all that that situation can stir the pot and that it is an left to our thinking out your understanding is left to the heart of God that started the part the part of the gifts that he has inside of us. It brings to the surface. What we need and we give it to someone else. We get we serve it. We serve up a platter of the gift and it is theirs to take or leave behind, but it is God who has brought that to the surface. It has gone through a strike that in each of our lives that we all have that ability, we all have the plot, but you know what we cover it up. Helena wanted to get to called Yahweh don't want to get too cold, too quick and no freeze up, but the starting of the emperors of the power of God and the love of God to touch our lives the way that will make a difference make a difference. Now and for eternity and God is going to use each one of us because he's called us. We are his children. He is already put it in there. It's already in their almost like Prego fits in there and get off the now denied them in there that Pam that the cook band now. So here we are. God has up Pam moment for us and if there is inside of us, and God is bringing it to the surface to use a men stir up the gifts. Stir up his seat. It isn't us standing there with things started. It's all the events of life that come along that started up and we have to always keep our peace and allow the presence of God to bring to the surface. What we need to give not what we need to tell not how we need to direct them come this way. How good God who is the good shepherd leads us each step of the way and then so is a another part that I was greatly using, but we all familiar with the story of the talents, the five three one, and how that the wise servants who had five use them double the one who had three years of double that, but the one who had one hit it. Do not be shy with your talents hit and his excuse was he blamed the giver for being a harsh person, and when we take up the aspect of blaming and grumbling and complaining. We are hiding what God wants to do. Don't hide adult blame, but allow ourselves to be open to be receptive that God has been to take what we are using in Dublin" gods in the multiplication business. He multiplies and multiply. He gives and gives and gives again father, we thank you that inside of each one of us are numerous blessings and gifts and possibilities and souls and everything that is available in your kingdom of God lies in the spirit of each one of us that we're capable of touching the world through you through our prayer through our gifts we pray Lord that you will help us not to hide from what you've given us to be open to be receptive to feel your spirit touching our spirit that we are totally incapable on our own, but we are more than enough in you, so we ask you father to bless us that we might be blessings to star hearts with all the different difficulties and let us be at peace to bring forth the answer that originates in your heart. We pray this in Jesus name and everyone said amen at this time. TheOn the think that things are falling apart whether falling together and so whenever we have to give things of God in our life. We believe that God is causing all things to work together for good, that God is causing our life to fall together a fall apart, and that in these circumstances, God is going to work a divine good that God is going to work things in order that will fit where he wants us to be in our lives begin these Scriptures in second Timothy, chapter one beginning in verse three it says every time I say your name in prayer. This is a Paul, writing to Timothy every time I say your name in prayer, which is practically all the time. I thank God for you. The God I worship with my whole life in the tradition of my ancestors. I miss you a lot, especially when I remember that last tearful goodbye and I look forward to enjoy pack reunion that precious memory triggers another. Your honest faith and water rich faith. It is handed down from your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice NTU. You see, there is what you have what we have is a doesn't originate with us.

We have always seen so these things were handed down to us these things were imparted to us no end and I think of this my grandmother knew my grandmother was a preacher. My mother was a very godly woman. My dad was a very godly person and so what I have is good and that handed down now, we do not believe that you get to heaven by osmosis. That is if you rub shoulders next to somebody else and their Christian. You don't become one for this case you wanted in a high time I brought my mother went to church. My father with it. Not in a desert in matters that they went to church and matters that they were there but you think God has a rich heritage that comes was not only in our family lineage and we may be the first of our lineage and guess what's going to happen.
