231209 with Pst Nathan Shaw

Yesterday was awesome, we got to see people drunk in the Holy Spirit and experience getting drunk in the Holy Spirit. It was quite a sight to see people that you never thought was spiritual inclined to be so drunk and so close to God and I am encouraged to know that God is willing and will touch anyone as long as we allow Him to.

Pst Nathan Shaw taught too.

The 3 wells of REVIVAL in the human Heart!

1st well: The Well of JOY

John 15:9-11 (New International Version)

⁹"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. ¹⁰If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father's commands and remain in his love. ¹¹I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete.

There are 2 purpose for His disciples:

1) For His Joy to dwell in them

2) and that the Joy might be full

Psalm 2:4 (New International Version)

⁴ The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.

He laughs and He dance. He can be humorous and fun too you know.

Manifestation in Hebrew means the dancing hand of God.

Philippians 3:1

¹Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord!

Philippians 4:4 (New International Version)

⁴Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

To rejoice is a command, a decision and an exaltation.

Laughter is the overflow of Joy (No wonder they laughed so much and so hard yesterday night. It must have been overflowing with much Joy)

2nd Well: The Well of Sorrow

³ Sorrow is better than laughter,
because a sad face is good for the heart.

Godly sorrow makes the heart better!

Weeping is an overflow of sorrow.

Luke 6:21 (New International Version)

²¹Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.

John 16:20 (New International Version)

²⁰I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.

James 4:8-10 (New International Version)

⁸Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. ⁹Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. ¹⁰Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

Let me just reiterate, WEEPING is an overflow of sorrow.

3rd Well: The Well of Shouting(or in my opinion, the expression out loud, could be singing too)

Shout to God in triumph

Shout- split the ears with sound

triumph- noisy, enthusiastic, energetic, offensively loud praise

Psalm 35:27 (New International Version)

²⁷ May those who delight in my vindication
shout for joy and gladness;
may they always say, "The LORD be exalted,
who delights in the well-being of his servant."

Psalm 66:1 (New International Version)

¹ Shout with joy to God, all the earth!

Psalm 32:11 (New International Version)

¹¹ Rejoice in the LORD and be glad, you righteous;
sing, all you who are upright in heart!

Psalm 132:9 (New International Version)

⁹ May your priests be clothed with righteousness;
may your saints sing for joy."

Do not let self consciousness hinder you from laughing, weeping, or simply just shouting or singing. It has to go cause it carries with it shame and guilt.

When you laugh you're allowing others to see you, who you are, opening up.

So with that, we started to drink, drink in His presence, His spirit.
