When the Spirit Comes in Power
Is the Holy Spirit real? What's his place in
scripture and history? Is he active in your life
now? What happens during revivals? Why are they
important to Evangelicals? What can we know about
the Vineyard, the Toronto Blessing? What is the
meaning of signs, wonders, tongues, words of
knowledge, being slain in the Spirit, etc. Holy
laughter, barking, ego trips, personality
cults Can conservative Christians experience the
Spirit's anointing? How do we 'catch the fire?'

Why Revival was Needed

• In 1730's and 1740's England was foul with
  corruption and crippled by spiritual decay. The
  ruling class were primarily deists, it they were
  religious at all. The church in England was the
  Church of England. The preaching from the pulpit
  at that time was quite cold, and the primary
  concern was that none should show any sign of
  being "enthusiastic" about religion. Meanwhile,
  public behavior had become so outrageous in
  England that importing liquor was banned (1689).
  The result was the gin craze, where everyone made
  their own liquor. The effect, according to the
  Bishop of London, was that gin made the English
  people what they never were before, cruel and
  inhuman. In those days, the rich got richer, and
  the poor got poorer. Street children and the
  insane were cruelly treated, the London Mafia
  thrived, gambling was everywhere, and stage
  productions were obscene even by today's
  standards. The point is that a Great Awakening
  was just as improbable then, as it may seem
  today. That is why we must study it. The only
  solace for Christians in that era was in the
  formation of small private societies. The Church
  had sanctioned and even encouraged their
  formation, and by 1730 nearly one hundred existed
  in London, and a hundred more scattered
  throughout England. Societies didn't actually do
  much. But their very existence at such a time was
  meaningful, for they would be the cradle of the
  Great Awakening.
• But at the very time when revival seemed
  impossible, all of England was stilled by the
  voice of preacher barely 22 years old, George
  Whitefield. He began to speak from the pulpit
  with fervor and power. And soon, no church could
  hold the multitude that flocked to hear him. No
  one could preach or even sound like Whitefield.
  His voice was like a trumpet, which could be
  muted or played to its full power. It was
  excellent in melody and range, and his messages
  were emphasized with graceful gestures. The voice
  of George Whitefield also had phenomenal carrying
  power. One author simply concluded, he preaches
  like a lion.

  service

26
Dichotomy Conservative vs Liberal

5 Perspectives

• Roman Catholic- Scripture and sacred tradition as
  interpreted by the Mageisterium
• Reformed- turning back to original gospel
  scripture over tradition
• Wesleyan- Christian perfection achievable in this
  lifetime perfection in love toward God and man
• Pentecostal- baptism in the Holy Spirit (tongues)
  necessary to empower, guide, and equip the church
  for mission and worship
• Charismatic- cross-denominational movement
  historically mainstream congregations adopt
  beliefs and practices similar to Pentecostals

56
Theologian of the Holy Spirit
57
The Pentecostal View

• H.S. Baptism subsequent to faith empowerment for
  service and evidenced by speaking in tongues
• Powerful experience of the HS that is that
  initiates believer into the prophetic dimesnion
  of the Spirit's power Bold witness, in face of
  opposition
• Results in enhanced sensitivity to sin, greater
  seeking after Christlikeness, deeper awareness of
  the judgement of God against ungodliness

58
The Pentecostal View

• Not ashamed of experience
• Read quote on pg 56
• A second work of grace
• All believers entitled to receive and should
  ardently seek and expect the baptism
• Received through prayer
• Manifested by known tongues
• Baptism in HS an endowment of power for service
• Gentiles with Cornelius were already believers in
  Christ
• Confidence in passing on Gospel
• Ecumenical draw

59
The Reformed View

• One work of grace in conversion wherein believer
  is baptized into the body of Christ and made to
  drink of the Holy Spirit
• Multiple subsequent fillings
• Walking in faith and obedience leads to the fruit
  of HS
• Accepts that narrative seeks to guide the reader
  to relive the truth encapsulated in the story
• Was subsequent Bap HS normative or just
  descriptive?
• Luke does argue for a Baptism of the Spirit for
  salvation. (Samaritans, Cornelius)
• Luke was Paul's companion

Walter C. Kaiser, Jr
60
The Charismatic View

• The Spirit-filled life is normative for all
  Christians
• Speaking in tongues is normal among us,
• not necessary for all
• Look at the fruit worldwide
• Look at the unifying effect

Larry Hart
61
Charismatic Gifts in the Early Church

• Early Church embraced gifts
• Near 260 AD, gifts decline
• Church became highly organized, well-educated,
  wealthy, socially powerful lost the special
  moments when God broke in
• Emphasis on role of bishop, demphasized role of
  laity in worship.
• Precisely timed worship leaves no space for lay
  involvement/ expression of gifts
• Pentecostal Charismatic churches risk becoming
  functional cessationists

Dr. Ronald Kydd
62
John Piper
The point is this whether Luke expects these
kinds of effects to happen in one initiatory
receiving of the Holy Spirit or in a two step
process with "baptism in the Holy Spirit" after
conversion, or in an ongoing sequence of fillings
(or some combination of these three), one thing
is clear Luke expects the receiving of the Holy
Spirit (however we receive him) to be a real,
identifiable experience of the living God, not
just a logical inference from a human act of will.
63
The Holy Spirit in Scripture

• Without the Spirit, it is impossible to be
  intimate with God
• All believers have the Holy Spirit indwelling
  them
• The Spirit clothes people to minister in power to
  bring about conviction, repentance and
  deliverance
• Apostles preached the gift of the Holy Spirit as
  a major benefit of salvation
• Everywhere in Acts and in the NT, the Spirit
  comes tangibly
• Charismatic manifestations persisted up to the
  Constantinian era (Kydd)

The Meaning of Signs Wonders

• Highlight the fact that the nature of our bondage
  is essentially spiritual, not social or economic
• The Kingdom and Power of God and his Christ have
  come and are staking their rightful claim against
  the dominion of Satan
• The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of
  POWER

76
The Toronto Blessing
77
Is this the work of God?

• 1. Does it exalt God, Father, Son, Spirit?
• 2. Does it honour the whole of Scripture?
• 3. Is love for God and love for people central?
• 4. Desire for purity and authenticity?
• 5. Is there real freedom offered?
• 6. Is it continuous with apostolic teaching?
• 7. Is there concern for social justice?
• 8. Do the prophecies come true?
• 9. Is there concern for truth, reason,
• 10. Humility Will leaders admit it if they are
  wrong?

78
Are Tongues Language?

• Glossolalia vs Xenoglossia
  Tower of Babel
• "Over a period of five years, I have taken part
  of meetings in Italy, Holland, Jamaica, Canada,
  and the United States. I have observed old
  fashioned Pentecostals and neo-Pentecostals, or
  Charismatics. I have been in small meetings in
  private homes as well as in mammoth public
  meetings. I have seen such different cultural
  settings as are found among Puerto Ricans of the
  Bronx, the snake handlers of the Appalachians,
  and the Russian Molikhans of Los Angeles. I have
  interviewed tongue speakers and tape recorded and
  analyzed countless samples of tongues. In every
  case, glossolaliaturns out to be linguistic
  nonsense. In spite of superficial similarities,
  glossolaliais fundamentally not language."

Spirit Song J. Wimber

• O let the Son of God enfold You?
• With His Spirit and His love?
• Let Him fill your heart and satisfy your soul?
• O let Him have those things that hold You?
• And His Spirit like a dove?
• Will descend upon your life?
• And make you whole

81
Chorus Jesus O Jesus come and fill your lambs
O come and sing this song with gladness? As your
hearts are filled with joy? Lift your hands in
sweet surrender ? To His name? O give Him all
your tears and sadness? Give Him all your years
of pain? And you'll enter into life?In Jesus' name
82
Receiving the Spirit

• If you have trusted in Christ, he lives in you
• How does he release his power within us?
• Is the Spirit's baptism a tangible experience?
• Knowing God and making him known

83
Conclusions

• Revival is a regular part of the way God
  revitalizes his church and he has been pouring
  out his grace in this way in different parts of
  the world
• Widespread conviction of sin leading to
  repentance and a deep surrender to God produce
  lasting change in people so touched by his
  Spirit.
• There is a progression from hunger, to prayerful
  waiting, to breakout, to a spreading movement
  that results in renewal, evangelism, leading to
  social and societal change.
• Manifestations such as speaking in tongues,
  falling down, shaking, visions, healing, weeping,
  and prophetic utterance have been visible
  expressions of his power in since the Second
  Great Awakening and are firmly within our
  Evangelical heritage.

84

• The Second and Third Waves are world-wide
  phenomena and are responsible for the
  revitalization of churches that were dying. They
  have also brought increased unity and dialogue
  between Protestant, Roman Catholic, and to some
  degree, the Orthodox churches. Generally they
  have brought back belief in the resurrection of
  Christ and his power to save.
• Worldwide missions has owed much of its impetus
  to the signs and wonders of the Spirit that bear
  witness to the power of the Gospel. Where
  spiritual darkness must be challenged, there
  also will we find the signs and wonders of the
  kingdom of light. (Dr. S. Kamaleson, personal
  communication)
• Satan seeks to neutralize the impact of the
  Spirit's work by false signs, mimicry, and
  bizarre and disturbing excesses. He also likes to
  destroy leaders through temptation to become
  proud, sexually immoral, prophetically dogmatic,
  or discourage them through the slander of other
  clergy.
• We are commanded to not quench the Spirit but we
  are called to discern the spirits. We must apply
  the tests mentioned earlier.

85

• The following are things I cannot
  explain
• Many people are miraculously healed of terrible
  afflictions of mind and body many are not
• Many people receive this release, the Baptism of
  the Holy Spirit through earnest seeking and
  persistent prayer some receive because a person
  with an anointing touches or prays for them, many
  seek earnestly but do not receive. Some receive
  this gift though they are resisting God with all
  their might.
• People who do receive this gift are enabled to
  hear Christ's direction, experience a release
  from sin and holistic healing. They are given
  special gifts to create impact on others beyond
  natural reckoning, and speak of the preciousness
  of his presence. Yet some do not treasure this
  and do not bear lasting fruit.
• Except for the speaking of actual human
  languages, glossolalia appears not to be a
  language at all. Nevertheless, it empowers those
  who so pray and it is manifested by people in
  whom the Spirit is doing his work, even those
  in whom there is no initial expectation or
  desire.
