Inleiding:

2 Grootste Behoeftes van die mens:

• Unsaved person’s greatest need is to be saved.
• Saved person’s greatest need is to be filled with Holy Spirit.

Luke 24:44-49 (Amp)

Net voor Jesus se Hemelvaart

44 Then He said to them, “This is what I told you while I was still with you, everything which has been written about Me in the Law of Moses and the [writings of the] Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.” 45 Then He opened their minds to [help them] understand the Scriptures, 46 and said, “And so it is written, that the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed) would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, 47 and that repentance [necessary] for forgiveness of sins would be preached in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49 Listen carefully: I am sending the Promise of My Father [the Holy Spirit] upon you; but you are to remain in the city [of Jerusalem] until you are clothed (fully equipped) with power from on high.”

…10 dae later.

Acts 2:1-4,32,33 (Amp)

The Day of Pentecost

2 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place, and suddenly a sound came from heaven like a rushing violent wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 There appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were being distributed [among them], and they rested on each one of them [as each person received the Holy Spirit]. 4 And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues (different languages), as the Spirit was giving them the ability to speak out [clearly and appropriately].

3 Dope hersien:

• Wedergeboorte – Heilige Gees oortuig en doop jou in Jesus Christus in die ligaam van gelowiges in.
• Doop in water – (Enige gelowige kan hierdie doop behartig) simbolies en publieke verklaring van ons ou sondige self wat sterf en nuut opstaan soos Jesus aan die kruis sterf en opstaan uit die dood. Ons gees word lewend gemaak by wedergeboorte.
• Doop met Heilige Gees – Jesus doop ons met Heilige Gees. Stort Heilige Gees op ons uit. Vul ons met Sy gees die Heilige Gees. This is when we are filled to overflowing with the Holy Spirit and receive power (A) to walk in our new life in Christ & to (B) be His witnesses.

Spirit in me = For me & Spirit on me = For you

1. Heiligmaking (Vol maak)

Aanhoudend vloei en borrel binne in jou. Tranformasie en meer soos Jesus word.

• How do you get rid of the old self? By pouring more of Holy Spirit to displace the old.

1. Getuie wees (Oorloop/uitgee)

• How do you know that you are full or filled with Holy Spirit? You flow over!
• Not a once of but continue being filled

3 Fases tydens die uitstorting van Heilige Gees in Handelinge 2:

• Doop (hoor wind geluid en sien vuur Tonge)
• Individuele “Infilling”/vol maak beskikbaar vir almal (not only upon the certain chosen like OT)
• Uitvloei/Oorvloei – praat

Kyk na Johannes 4 en 7 wat jesus sê:

John 4:14 (AMP) The Samaritan Woman

14 But whoever drinks the water that I give him will never be thirsty again. But the water that I give him will become in him a spring of water [satisfying his thirst for God] welling up [continually flowing, bubbling within him] to eternal life.”

John 7:37-39 (AMP)

37 Now on the last and most important day of the feast (of Tabernacles), Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’” 39 But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).

*As die hart vol is en oorloop, loop dit by jou mond oor.

Matthew 12:34b (Amp)

34 … For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

Water glas voorbeeld 2 tipes:

• Gewas en nuut
• Vol wat gebruik kan word (met ’n doel) en oorloop.

*Ons het altwee nodig!

Doping met Heilige Gees is ’n eenmalige doop en daarna ‘n voortdurende vol word en oorloop. Continue being filled / word geduring gevul (drink gedurig)

MAAR…

…ek is nie ’n evangelis nie. Ek is nie Billy graham of Reinhart Bonke wat honderd duisende mense op ’n Crusade bereik nie.

Dis nie wat die Here vanoggend vir jou vra nie…

Hy sê: Wees my getuie sodat mense om jou dit kan SIEN en HOOR.

(Sometimes actions speaks louder than words)

The Holy Spirit gives us the power to be witnesses.

Acts 1:8

8 But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.”

Jy sal krag (bonatuurlik) ontvang om siele te wen en God se koninkryk te help bou en goeie nuus/evangelie te deel.

Wonders en tekens sal deel wees daarvan saam met jou getuienis deur jou lewe maar ook uit jou mond.

• Your life makes statements whether you open your mouth or not.
• There’s no such thing as a silent witness.

Hoe het die dissipels dit reg gekry?

VOOR en NA die uitstorting/doping van Heilige Gees:

And yet after Pentecost they were completely different. They did not flinch in the face of danger. They stood up to the very ones they had previously been cowering in fear of. Instead of a constant flow of foolish and cowardly statements, there are strong and righteous statements coming forth from their mouths, like “Whether it is right in the sight of God to give heed to you rather than to God, you be the judge; for we cannot stop speaking what we have seen and heard.”(Acts 4:19-20). They were filled with joy even in the face of great suffering, living lives that gave vibrant testimony to Jesus Christ, going all over the world to boldly proclaim the gospel of Jesus, laboring tirelessly, loving not only their friends but even their enemies, willing to die for the cause of Christ. They were men of great wisdom and stability.

Perus se verandering.

Van verloën voor 3 mense tot getuie wees en 3000 kom tot redding.

Wat verhinder ons: Fear of rejection. We want the approval of others

If we will empty ourselves and be filled with the Spirit. The Holy Spirit can give us the courage we need to be witnesses for Christ.

Toepassing vir vandag: (Dis hoekom jy vandag ’n botteltjie water gekry het.)

Hoe? (*Side 4)

1. Being Hungry and thirsty for the fullness of the Spirit. Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” (John 7:37-38) “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.” (Matthew 5:6)
2. Asking our Heavenly Father for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him! (Luke 11:13)
3. We must receive the Holy Spirit (DRINK) Jesus said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.” (John 7:37) “Drinking” represents an active process of receiving.  The infilling of the Holy Spirit cannot be received by a negative or passive attitude, just as no one can drink with a closed mouth. The Lord says, “Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.” (Psalm 81:10)  God cannot fill a closed mouth.  We must open our mouth to receive the fullness of the Spirit

Kern gedagtes:

• Ons het nodig om gedoop te word met Heilige Gees en dan herhaaldelik gevul te word.
• As jy nie VOL IS, en VOL BLY nie kan jy nie oorloop nie.
• Om ‘n getuie te wees moet die wêreld om jou dit kan SIEN en HOOR.

Slot:

Ephesians 5:15-18 (AMP)

15 Therefore see that you walk carefully [living life with honor, purpose, and courage; shunning those who tolerate and enable evil], not as the unwise, but as wise [sensible, intelligent, discerning people], 16 [b]making the very most of your time [on earth, recognizing and taking advantage of each opportunity and using it with wisdom and diligence], because the days are [filled with] evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish and thoughtless, but understand and firmly grasp what the will of the Lord is. 18 Do not get drunk with wine, for that is wickedness (corruption, stupidity), but be filled with the [Holy] Spirit and constantly guided by Him.

Dalk is dit jou eerste vul met Heilige Gees

Dalk het jy vanogend ’n vars invulling nodig. 

Gebed:

• Vul ons op-nuut
• Vul ons met krag

“Die Here sal julle seën en julle beskerm; die Here sal tot julle redding verskyn en julle genadig wees; die Here sal julle gebede verhoor en aan julle vrede gee!

Die Here sal jou bly vol maak en deurdrenk met Sy Gees en vir jou krag gee.

Amen.
