4. We'll read verses 23 through
31. And being let go, they went to
their own company and reported all that the chief priest and
elders had said unto them. And when they had heard that,
they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said,
Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven and earth and the
sea and all that in them is, who by the mouth of thy servant
David hast said, why did the heathen rage and the people imagine
vain things? The kings of the earth stood
up and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and
against his Christ. For of a truth against thy holy
child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate,
with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together. For to do whatsoever thy hand
and counsel determined before to be done, and now, Lord, behold
their threatenings, and grant unto thy servants that with all
boldness they may speak thy word, by stretching forth thy hand
to heal, and that signs and wonders made be done by the name of thy
holy child Jesus. And when they had prayed, the
place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they
were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word
of God with boldness. Our blessed Father, our great,
great glorious God in heaven, Lord, we're so blessed to be
able to come into your presence. We want to acknowledge that you're
God and besides you there is none other. We want to bless
you and praise you that you're not only the creator of this
universe, but you sustain it by the word of your power. You
do everything by your word. And everything that's been said
and done by your word is already be determined before you by your
will. And Father, we thank you for
that. And Lord, we come to you tonight asking for your great
mercies to be on us as we look into your word, not only on me,
but the hearers. And Lord, those who are not with
us through sickness, through providence, for things beyond
their control, We pray for your blessings on them, and Lord,
for those that are sick, Lord, for Barb and Albert and Rick
and Helen, and if there's any that I don't know about, Lord,
God, please have mercy on them. Please strengthen and encourage
them. Meet the needs of this congregation. Forgive us of everything
that's unlike you. Have mercy on our lost loved
ones, and we ask these things in Christ's name, amen. M number 106, 106. Tell me the story of Jesus Write
on my heart every word Tell me the story most precious Sweetest
that ever was heard Tell how the angels in chorus
sing as they welcome this birth. Glory to God in the highest. Peace and good tidings to earth. Bright on my heart every word. Tell me the story most precious,
sweetest that ever was heard. Fasting alone in the desert,
tell of the days that are past. How for our sins He was tempted,
yet was triumphant at last. Tell of the years of his labor,
tell of the sorrow he bore. He was despised and afflicted,
homeless, reaching Tell me the story of Jesus Cried
on my heart every word The story most precious, sweetest
that ever was heard. Tale of a cross where they nailed
Him, writhing in anguish and pain. Tell of a grave where they
laid him. Tell how he liveth again. Love in that story so tender,
clearer than ever I see. Stay with me. Tell me the story of Jesus Write
on my heart every word Tell me the story most precious Sweetest
that ever was heard All right, let's deal with these few verses I
read this evening. What we have here is the first
persecution of the Lord's people after the resurrection and ascension
of our Lord Jesus Christ. But our Master had forewarned
what would happen to them, said, They hated me, they'll hate you.
They persecuted me, they'll persecute you. And it all started, this persecution
started because of healing of a lame man. The man had been
lame from his mother's womb and was above 40 years old. And they
got upset about that. But when it brought them in there,
when the Lord blessed them to heal this lame man, the apostles
took the opportunity to preach the gospel, to preach Christ
crucified, to preach salvation by Him and Him alone, there's
no other name under heaven, whereby we must be saved. Now I'll tell
you something about these men, they didn't care if they went
to the temple, they didn't care if they If they
preached, what they DID care about was WHAT they preached
and WHO they preached. They didn't mind them going to
the temple. They didn't even mind them preaching. But it was WHAT
they preached. They preached the resurrection
of Jesus Christ and charged them with the crime of crucifying
the Son of God, crucifying the Lord Jesus Christ. And that's
what they said. Who gave you the power and authority
to do this? And they threatened these men's
lives And they said, if you continue to preach and teach in the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ, you'll be in trouble. And these religious
leaders, I mean, and there's lots of people in our day the
same way, they intended to stamp out the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ. They wanted His message stopped.
They wanted His name stopped. They wanted His followers stopped.
And as lots of people do that today, they still want nothing
to do with the Lord Jesus Christ. Step out from under heaven and
earth the name, the person, the work of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And I'll clear heaven and earth of Jesus and Nazareth so people
don't have to deal with Him anymore. And I tell you what, that's why
our Lord says, you know, they said, we will not have this man,
we will not have this man to reign over us. And they're not
so out and out against it the way they used to be about the
forces of evil, they're just more subtle. They've learned
to work from within. They have another spirit, they
have another gospel, they have another Jesus. But I tell you what, they let
these fellas go and they was threatened. Now, let me show
you something. Let's see what happened when
they went back to their own company. Look what it says here in verse
23. Let's look what they did when they said when they let,
and being let go, in verse 23, they went to their own company
and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto
them. Now, oh my. They didn't look at one another,
and I'm going to tell you what they, I should tell you what
they didn't do, what they didn't do. When they left the company,
I'll tell you what they didn't do. They didn't look at one another
and say, boy, we rushed it. We rushed the message too much.
We said too much too soon. We gave too much to the people.
We should have used a little bit of diplomacy. Let's lay low
for a while. let the commotion die down, then
we ll start preaching again. No, they didn t use worldly wisdom. No, no, they didn t use worldly
wisdom or carnal reasoning. The worldly wisdom of this world,
God says, is foolishness. John didn t look over to Peter
and say, Peter, I know what we did wrong. I tell you what we
did wrong. We made too much of the resurrection
of our Master. And the Sadducees, they didn't
believe in the resurrection. We made too much of the resurrection.
Tell you what we need to do, we need to tone down our message.
Don't preach things that people don't like. We'll be ambiguous. We'll use general terms. Don't
preach the miracle power of Christ. Don't preach His resurrection.
Then folks will like us and the church will grow. It'll grow.
Oh my. We'll have to tone down our message.
And I know this is the way religion thinks. This is the way religion
thinks. You can imagine Peter and John
talking and said, I know what we did wrong. We didn't seek
advice from the world. Let's call in some successful
businessmen. you know, and they'll tell us
what we need to do to reach people without being offensive. So we,
you know, fellows who know how to run a good business, they'll
know how to run a church, and they'll tell us how to reach
people, and we'll have it to really grow. Huh? Oh my, can
you imagine God's people talking like that? Could you imagine
apostles talking like that? But that's the way the world
has done today. You would not, I used to get
all kinds of stuff about marketing. Marketing, how to market your
church, how to make your church grow. And you know that one of
the biggest selling books of all time, religious books of
all time is called The Purpose Driven Church. That means you
gotta have a purpose. And I was reading something to
Shirley yesterday, I said about is Jesus still relevant in the
21st century? Is Jesus still relevant in the
21st century? They're asking stupid questions
like that. And they go and they take surveys to see what people
want to hear, how they want the building to be in, what kind
of music do they like. And so they go on and on and
on, and then when they find out through the marketing, that's
what they start out doing. That's what they start out doing.
And after a while, after a while, they got to enlarge the parking
lot, they got to enlarge the building, two or three services
a day. Because they use worldly wisdom. But these preachers,
they didn't do that. What did they do? Look what it
says there in verse 23. Being let go, they went to their
own company. You know what they did? They said, I wanna go be
with the Lord's people. We just got threatened. We just
got misused. We just got treated miserably.
We just got treated very, very badly. But said, we're gonna
go to our own company. That old saying, birds of a feather
flock together, that's true. That's true. And here these fellas,
they wanted to go be with the Lord's people. I want to go be
with God's people. And they went to the saints,
just like you and like me. And then look what it says, and
they reported all that the chief priest had done unto them. Oh my, people think that a certain
group, that the leaders should deal with everything. That ordinary
believers don't have no part, and have no saying, and have
no power. There's no such thing as an ordinary believer. There's
no such thing as an ordinary believer. How could you be an
ordinary believer if Christ shed His blood for you? If Christ
died for you? If Christ saved you by His grace? If Christ opened your heart and
opened your mind, your understanding? All of us, all of us have something
to do in the kingdom of God. But they went to their own company.
You know why? Because we never know who God's
gonna use. And I know one thing, there ain't
never been a revival or an awakening in a cathedral, that's for sure. And I tell you, and look what
else they've done, down in verse 24. Not only do they go to their
own company, but they told them what the priests and elders had
said unto them, told them everything that they said, how they had
threatened them. where they got their power, what their authority,
don't you dare go preaching and teaching this name again. But
oh no, you know what they did? Look what it says, and when they
heard that, what did they do? They lifted up their voice to
God. Lifted up their voice to God. Now there's a whole bunch
of people here, but did you notice that word voice is singular?
Singular. You know why it's singular? because
we all got the same purpose, and all going to the same place,
all calling on God. And that's what they did. And
they were with one accord. After they heard what was done,
they lifted up their voice. One voice, one voice. And they
were with one accord. And when the apostles had come
and told them what happened, and how they threatened them,
and threatened their lives, and couldn't preach anymore, name
of the Lord Jesus Christ. How did the saints react? How'd
they react? Well, if something like that
happened now, they'd get their feelings hurt, and preachers
would get their feelings hurt and QUIT! That's what they'd
do! But oh, they didn't say, I tell
you what, let's get a committee together, and oh, my, and see
what we ought to do! And oh, Brother Said, I second
that emotion, I second that emotion, and that thing carried, and so
they had this committee. They wanted to straighten everything
out. No, no, no, no, no. Look what
they did. They lifted up their voice with
one accord. You know what they did? They
prayed. They prayed. They prayed. They was in trouble,
so they prayed. They was threatened, so they
prayed. They were persecuted, so they prayed. Why did they
pray? Why in the world did they pray?
What else are they going to do? Huh? What else are they going
to do? Here's a handful of ignorant,
unlearned people, no great names among them, no great names among
them at all. They had no money. They had no
influence. They had no power. As far as
the world's concerned and those Pharisees and them were concerned,
just a bunch of insignificant people. and the authorities and
the power that be, and the people of substance and power, everybody
and anybody was against them, was against them. But these people
knew enough about God, knew enough about their self, and knew enough
about their inabilities and their weaknesses, that they seen that
there wasn't nothing they could do, that they couldn't do anything
of any value in themselves. They had only one hope, one hope,
one place to turn, one thing to do. They lifted up their voice
to God. They prayed, they prayed. Oh my. And you know when people
pray, when they're in trouble. As long as things going pretty
good, we don't pray much, but oh my. And this word prayer,
and this thing of prayer, It's used so lightly, so glibly,
so thoughtlessly. They say, let us pray. Oh, we'll
pray about it. It's easier to talk about prayer
than it is to pray. Sometimes it's very difficult
to pray. And I'll tell you for myself,
I don't know much about praying. I really don't. I don't know
much about prayer. and they got all kinds of books about prayer,
and I haven't read any of them, and I'll tell you why, because
if you do, it's gonna make you feel guilty. I know, I know that
I know very little about prayer. Even the disciples, they come
to the Lord Jesus Christ and said, Lord, teach us to pray. We don't know how to pray. Teach
us how to pray. Teach us to pray. And oh my. how difficult it is often to
pray. And oh, how do we know anything about prayer? I don't
know much about it. But here we have a beautiful
example of how God's people in trouble prayed. These things
were desperate for these people here. They were desperate. They
were desperate. And oh my, you know the way to
pray and you know when you'll really pray when you're in trouble.
When you're at the end of your rope, you ain't got nothing else
to do, no place else to go, but call on God. David said it this
way. He said over in Psalm 50, verse
15, God said, call upon me in the day of trouble. Call on me
in the day of trouble and I will deliver you. Oh my. They prayed. That's the first
thing they'd done. They went to their own company and they
prayed. And oh my, remember the trouble
they were in, look what it says now. And they lifted up verse
24 with one voice, with one accord, and this is the first thing they
said. They wasn't frantic, they wasn't upset, and they started
calling on God without being in a hurry, without excitement,
and here's the first thing they said. Lord, you are God. They're not going to somebody
who can't do anything for them. And that's the first thing they
said, Lord, you're God. You're God. You are God. You're the God which
made the heavens. You're the God which made the
earth. They had time to talk and they
was tranquil before God. They didn't come rushing into
the presence of God, calmly into the presence of God. They just
started before, Lord, you're God of heaven and earth. And
I tell you, the scriptures makes it so plain, so plain for us. You know, be still and know that
I'm God. And when I go into the presence
of God or into the house of God, let your words be few. Be not
hasty with your words. Be not hasty with your foot.
And oh my. And here's where most people
really mess up. They start with their selves. Start with their selves. Our problems. And ask God to
do something to straighten out our problems and our problems
and all that. And God won't answer like that.
Most prayers that people pray are an absolute insult to God.
And the first thing these folks did was they remembered who God
was. God said over in Isaiah, I believe
it's 46 somewhere there, and then God said, put me in remembrance. Put me in remembrance. And that's
what they're doing. They're saying, Lord, these fellows
over here think they're something. They think they got some power.
They've threatened us. They don't want us to use your
son's name anymore. They don't want us to talk about
him anymore. And they said they'll put us out of business if we
do it. No, no. They said, oh, the first thing
they done, they remembered who God is, creator of heaven, creator
of the earth. Oh my, no matter what the problem
we've got. no matter how desperate we are,
and don't never, ever start with ourselves. I've said that for
years and years and years. First thing you do is you've
got to address God as God. Like Bruce Crabtree, priest on
the encouragement to prayer. You know, and the first thing
is, is who we're coming in the presence of. Remember this. that we have a
high priest, and he's touched with the feelings of our infirmity.
And I tell you, he started talking about, we're coming. Where? To a throne. It's a throne
of grace, but still it's a throne. And oh my, we're coming into
the presence of God. Huh? Oh my, most folks treat
one another better than they treat God. Huh? Oh, come before Him. Oh, let's
always come before God with reverence, reverence and godly fear. Oh,
pour out our adoration for Him and our praise for Him and our
heart worship before Him. Why do they start out talking
about God and addressing Him as He is and always come to praise
Him first? Because that's the right thing
to do. We're dealing with God. You remember when Esther, the king of Syria, Ahasuerus,
nobody could come into their presence unless he asked them
to come into his presence. And if anybody come into his
presence, he had a scepter, a king's scepter. Big old jewel thing,
and he'd hold that thing out, and if he didn't hold it out
to him, the people come and just immediately took him out and
slew him. You couldn't come into the king's presence without him
telling you to come or somebody bringing you, but if you went
by your own power and your own presence and wanted an audience
with the king, if he didn't hold out his scepter to you, you was
in trouble. Now that's the way it was when
Esther come into the presence of King Hazaruz. She know that
if he didn't step forth that scepter, her and all them Jews
was gonna be destroyed. But he held out that scepter.
And if an earthly king, people treat him that way, how do you
think we ought to do with the Lord of glory? How do you think
we ought to come into his presence? Oh, start prayer with worship,
praise, adoration. And doing that to remind God
of His greatness and His power. He knows He's great. He knows
He's glorious. He knows He's got all power.
He knows who He is. But we need to address Him as
He is. And that's the way we start.
That's the way they did. Lord, You are God. Oh, made heaven
and earth. Oh, it's the right thing to come
in God's presence that way. It's the wise thing to do that.
These people have no power. They know they got no power.
God has all the power. They're helpless, helpless. But
God isn't helpless. And addressing God as he is,
you know what the first thing they did? They lost all fear. They lost all fear. They didn't
think about them fellas over there anymore. What is their enemy's power compared
to the creator of the universe? Oh, what a wise, glorious thing
to do when going to God in prayer, to remind ourselves of who God
is, what God is, and what He is able to do. If we do anything else, don't
be like that Pharisee who went into the presence of the Lord.
Thank you, Lord, that I'm not like that other fella. But when
that publican went up there, he said, Lord, the first word
out of his mouth. Be merciful to me. Oh my. To do anything else, we're just
talking to ourselves. And I'll tell you something else
they saw when they started praying before God. They saw God's eternal
will and purpose being carried out when they prayed. Look what it says now in verse
five, 25 through 28. And then they said, you know,
you made the heaven and earth and everything in them that is.
Who by the mouth of thy servant David has said, and this is quoting
from Psalm two right here. He said, why do the heathen rage
and the people imagine vain things? the heathen raised against God.
They said, We're going to put him out of business. Now, look
what it says. The kings of the earth stood up and the rulers
were gathered together against the Lord and against his Christ. They said, Oh, God, you got a
will, you got a purpose. He said in verse 27, For of a
truth, for of a truth, and this is true, they all got together
to put Christ out of business, put God out of business. for
of a truth against thy holy child Jesus. Now listen to this. Whom
thou hast anointed. Whom thou hast anointed. Huh? Oh my. Both Herod and Pontius
Pilate with the Gentiles and the people of Israel were gathered
together. And listen to this. You know what they was doing?
You know what they was doing? David already told them what
they was gonna do. And he says, you know, for to do, verse 28,
to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before
to be done. They's only doing what you, you
told them what they's gonna do and they done it anyway. They
done it anyway. Oh my, his enemies are in his
hands. God rules and reigns over all.
These haters of Christ didn't take God by surprise. Their attacks
on His saints didn't take God by surprise. And what they're
saying, Lord, they're Your enemies. They're Your, they come against
You and they come against Your Christ. They come against Your
Son. They're Your enemies, Lord. And they will do nothing but
what You will for them to do. Absolutely nothing. Huh? Oh my. And when they prayed, they understood
that the problem really wasn't their problem. It was God's. Oh my, ain't that what they said
down in verse 26? The kings of the earth stood up, hands lifted up into the face
of God Himself, and the rulers were gathered together against
the Lord, just God Almighty, and against His Christ. Oh my. They said, oh, this is,
this, you know, and it's true, he said, they come against you
and against your child. You anointed the son of God.
They saw that they really weren't against them. They were nobodies. They were really against God.
But since they were God's servants and they couldn't get to God,
the only people they'd get to was the people that he saved
by his grace and gave them a gospel to preach. It's against you,
Lord, and against the Lord Jesus Christ of you anointed. It's
you they want to put out of business. It's you they want to get rid
of. And I tell you what, I hear preachers
say, and they ought not never say it. I hope I never say it.
We can't never talk about our church or our organization. It's
the Lord's church. It belongs to Christ. He paid
for it, it belongs to Him. I hear a preacher say, oh, you
know, my church is this and my church is that, and I got this
many people in my church, and you know, and my church does
this and my church does that. But hey, listen, the Lord's the
head of the church. He's the head of it. And every
single one of us are members of the same body. And what a
wonderful, blessed thing it is. All I am, and even though I'm
the preacher and I'm the pastor, I'm just a member just like everybody
else is in the body. And to hurt the church is to
go against God, to be against Christ. That's why when God put
Paul down on the Damascus road, he said, Saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me? Who art thou, Lord? I am Jesus,
whom thou persecutest. I didn't say anything. I'm not
doing that. You're going after my people. You're bothering my
people. You're hurting my people. And
when you do that, you're dealing with me. You're dealing with
me. Huh? Oh my. I'd rather be, I'd rather
do anything is be against the Lord's people. Oh my. Our Lord said this. He said,
do you know to offend one of these little ones? He said, You
know what would be better? I mean, it's going to be worse
than this, but he said it would be better for a Neil stone to
be tied about their neck and thrown into the depth of the
sea. And that's an easy thing for somebody to do, and that
would just drown. But what he's saying was, that's
what ought to be done, but instead of that, it's going to end up
in hell. You'd wish you was at the bottom of the ocean. Huh? Oh, now they come to themselves.
They come to the self, up to now it's God with whom they have
to do. What did they ask for? Did they ask for peace? Did they
ask for a little respite? Did they ask a little tranquility,
a little comfort, a little consolation? No, you know what they asked
for? Look what it says now, down in verse 29 and 30. And now Lord, now Lord, you behold
their threatenings. You listen to their threatens.
And he said, I'll tell you what we want you to do for us. You
got the power to do it. Grant unto thy servants that
with all boldness they may speak thy word. That's the only thing
they ask for. When I preached and I can do
it with boldness. And he says, speak your word,
your word. That's what we want. That's what
he said. That's all we want, Lord. You've heard they're threatening
to just give us the boldness to preach your word. And oh my. And then look what he'll say.
Oh my. We don't ask for rest. We don't
ask for peace. We just ask power to preach thy
name. Power that thy son may be honored. Power and boldness to preach
and that your son be glorified. They're not concerned with themselves,
they're willing to suffer. And look what he says there in
verse 31. And Lord, speak thy word, give
us the bone to speak thy word, and then stretch forth your hand,
your hand to heal. Ain't that what they told about
that man? Said, it wasn't us that caused this man to be healed,
but the Lord Jesus Christ, the one caused this man to be healed.
And oh my, they were, They were concerned about the name of God,
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's all they was concerned
about. And they said, By stretching forth your hand to heal, and
that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy
child, the Lord Jesus Christ. my, that s all they wanted. They
want the power, they want the authority, they want the boldness
to honor God, preach His Word, glorify His blessed Son, and
Lord, You do the work! You do the work! Oh, my! And then look what happened in
verse 31. What happens when you pray like that? And when they
had prayed, The place was shaken. What that means is that the Spirit
of God came upon them in such a way that it shook them, shook
them. I don't think that building shook
or anything like that, that the place was shaken, that they were
shaken. And I tell you what, where they
were assembled together, oh my, is God able to do this? Here's
your answer. Oh, God said, yes, I'm great
and I'm going to show you. And God's gonna shake everything
that can be shaken one of these days, and the only thing that'll
remain is the things that cannot be shaken, and that's what he
does. And then it says there, they
were all filled with the Holy Ghost. Oh my. And they spake the word of God
with boldness. The Holy Spirit gives us assurance,
enables us to believe, makes us fearless, and strengthens
us for the battle. GOD'S LOVE IS SHED ABROAD IN
OUR HEARTS BY THE HOLY GHOST, AND IT SAYS, THEM THAT BELIEVED
WERE OF ONE ACCORD, AIN'T THAT WHAT IT SAYS THERE IN VERSE 32?
AND THE MULTITUDE THAT BELIEVED WERE OF ONE HEART AND ONE SOUL.
ONE HEART AND ONE SOUL. NO WONDER THERE WAS JUST ONE
VOICE. ONE HEART, ONE SOUL. WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING IF
YOU HAD A group of people like that, one heart and one soul. And them that believed, oh God,
make us that way. Fill us with the Holy Ghost.
Make us as one heart, one thought, one mind, one purpose, one will. That's what happens. Take things
to God. Dress Him as God. It's your work. You protect and
preserve it. It belongs to you. Our Father, in the blessed name
of Christ our Lord, thank you, Lord. Bless your holy name. Praise
be unto you. Lord, just your word is so simple
and so plain and so pointed and has so much in it. And Lord,
we're thankful. that you made yourself known
to us so we can address you as you are. Great and glorious God. Lord, you made the heavens, you
made the earth. The earth is your footstool and
the heavens is your throne. Lord, you put all the stars in
the heavens and you call them by name. Oh, Lord, bless your
name. You told us as long as this earth
stands, it'd be four seasons. regardless of what men say, regardless
of how they try to disregard you. Lord, we believe you. Give us the grace, give us the
boldness, give us the fearlessness, Lord, that we need when we need
it in any situation that we need it in. We look to you to meet
our needs, and we bless you in Christ's name. Amen. Amen. Turn your eyes upon Jesus Look
full in His wonderful face And the things of earth will grow
strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace See you Sunday,
God willing. You reckon it's gonna rain today?
