Jesus is More than Enough (1 of 4)
Series: More Than Enough
Lenny Ports
1 Peter 1:3
We just came out of the sermon series last month called ''Our House'' in which we learned that because of what Jesus has done for us, He has literally blown the roof off anything that could keep us from God. He has removed the limitations of what could block us from the presence of God. By His blood, He has made the way and given us open access to heaven, to the Father. When we know there's an open heaven, we pray boldly! And we pray boldly we are praying in FAITH. Because we have placed our faith in Christ and our faith is in His blood and in the finished work of what he has done for us, that Jesus
in response to our faith in Him,
in response to our prayers,
in response to our praise,
is pouring down from heaven the very power of His Holy Spirit. The power to overcome, the power to live the abundant life, the power to be His servants and be His witnesses, the power to do that which we could never do on our own. The Holy Spirit is being poured out upon us individually and upon us corporately, and even being poured out in our homes. He has given us His Spirit without measure.
Less is more with Jesus. I must decrease and he must increase. We must live in the place with the Holy Spirit overwhelms and overtakes that part of us which is natural. If we are trying to have Jesus compete with what the world can offer, He's not in that competition. He is not in any competition. His kingdom is not of this world. We are not taken over because He will never take away our free will, but we are overtaken or overwhelmed or blessed with His love, goodness, grace, mercy.
This sermon series we are calling ''More Than Enough'' is for us to see the boundless measure of God 's goodness, His love, His grace, His mercy, His wisdom poured out upon us so that we would truly say ''Jesus is enough.''
I remember when I first gave my heart to Jesus and turned my life completely ...
