JOHN THE BAPTIST
by Fred Lowery
John The Baptist
Fred Lowery
Called last of Old Testament prophets and first of New Testament prophets 400 silent years - prophetiess
Like sudden clap of thunder Ch 2 - Herod has died, Jesus is born
God called andamp; annointed for a specific task Elizabeth knew that and he knew it
After about 30 years in carpenter shop of his dad Comes this rough and ragged preacher
One message: ''Repent for kingdom of heaven is at hand'' Clear, loud , powerful - ricocheted off rocks' and off walls of the temple in Jerusalem
People came by multi@tu'de@, - curiosity
E.G. Matt. 11:7 - Jesus estimation of John the Baptist. As far as work, energy, ministry - none greater. Then go on to say John's message was Old Testament - we know of the atoning work of Christ by God's grace. We have greater insight than John. We have the Gospel.
John had full revelation for his time But not full in comparison to what we have.
We're not greater in work or energy but more insight Those in Old Tostament had a shadow, a taste - we have the reality E.G. Have Holy Spirit alive and working in us John the Baptist Page Two
Pharisees question - By what authority? John had discernment andamp; could tell the difference in those coming in repentance andamp; those coming out of curiosity and criticism.
Called sin, sin Spoke with annointing of God
Discernment 1. Will view things from his spirit and not his mind E.G. world wants the mind - education One day stopped - behold the Son of Man - not of his mind but his spirit. Knew the moment the Son of God stepped on the scene. 1 Jn. 4:1 - test the spirits Discern = to cut in half andamp; look at it like it really is
So much grey todaiy@ sounds so right E.G. Maybe saying right things, true things but when ask your spirit to receive and not your mind - realize something is wrong.
Don't just accept what you hear One of the Ho-ly Spirit's ministries is to sift Many things the mind will accept, the spirit will never accept
