Imagine hearing the sound of violent bursting winds but not feeling it. You’d initially think the blast came from the sky but then realize that not a single breeze stirred it. Suddenly a blaze of fire magically shows appears, separates into individual flames above you and your fellow apostles with a single flame resting upon your head & then showering you like rain drops of sparks right before disappearing. That’s the scenario Pastor Johnson describes in this week’s sermon, SINNING BY SUPPOSING; SINNING BY SUSPICION (35 Minutes; SRBC Cyber Sermon #29). Pastor explains how these ‘Tongues of Fire’ represents the endowment of the Holy Spirit that enabled the apostles to speak articulately in languages they didn’t know. Don’t get it twisted, Pastor warns that God is ‘an agent of clarity and not confusion’ that awakened the ‘oneness of speech as a unified power.’ He warns of people sinning by supposing and suspicions and basing thoughts on deceitful assumptions, indecisiveness and imagination. When some tried to blame this phenomenon on ‘Sweet Lucy’ (LOL) & other intoxications, Pastor reminded us that wine ‘doesn’t produce this non temporal/semi high type of power’ and that it instead ‘take it away.’ Pastor urges us to not misuse the gift of our minds that God has given us and to not give up, get mad and retaliate when we are unbelieved or challenged. He tells us to ‘Run on in spite of back bitters, ditch diggers, pitfalls and stumping blocks’, for if we do, God, the divine conquerer will have a ‘BIG WELL DONE’ waiting for us in the end.
