"But Wait, Theres More"

Psalm 27:4 (NIV) 4 One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.

Captivated By Beauty- see something so beautiful its hard to look away. Held captive by what you see. It has such a powerful hold you are literally imprisoned by it.

------“But Wait, Theres More”-------

Matthew 28:18–20 (NKJV) The Great Commission

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.

The disciples had done some amazing things allready. But they had hit a wall or there limit.

Jesus shocks them with his responce.

Because He is upping the game. hes telling themthey are amatures

Matthew 17:20–21 (NKJV) 20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

Acts 1:4 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me;

Isaiah 10:27 (KJV 1900) 27 And it shall come to pass in that day, That his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, And his yoke from off thy neck, And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

Illustration- Words Need breath to be spoken

If you dont have air in your lungs you cant speak. Its very hard for people to speak when they are gasping for breath

Gods Word needs the breath of the spirit for His word to proceed from our mouths

--Jesus Needed The Holy Spirit- Breath of God---

Luke 4:18 (NKJV) 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;

illustration- People can speak scripture and it means nothing

Someone else can say the same scripture and the words contain power.
