Sowing in the Spirit of Grace

As Pastor Landis Fisher continues through the Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Romans, in this installment he reveals an Old Testament prophecy which predicted the time when the Holy Spirit of God would again be close to mankind and available by God’s grace through His Son Jesus Christ. Listen in today as Pastor Fisher teaches a message he has titled: “Sowing in the Spirit of Grace”

Old Testament Scripture Reading: Joel 2:26 -29  (KJV)
Joe 2:26  And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Joe 2:27  And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Joe 2:28  And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
Joe 2:29  And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
New Testament Scripture Reading: Romans 8:6 – 14  (KJV)

Rom 8:6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Rom 8:7  Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Rom 8:8  So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
Rom 8:9  But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Rom 8:10  And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Rom 8:11  But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Rom 8:12  Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
Rom 8:13  For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Rom 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

Transforming Power Statements:

 

1) The prophecy of the coming of the Holy Spirit from the book of Joel tells us about a special time in redemptive history when the giving of the Holy Spirit would become common place which became possible only after the time Jesus Christ came to justify all who would believe the good news of His coming.

2) The reality of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is made possible to all believers in Christ Jesus, and is the on-board teacher Who’s job is to lead us to walking in the truth.

3) Since we are “Sowing” at all times, let us learn to pray about sowing in the Spirit of Grace at all times and more and more.
