voodoo, spiritualism
Moral = Most who claim to be Christian are not, when it comes down to it.
David and Julie were far from christ.
Door shut.
To be Christian, is to follow Christ and place him not only as father, but also as master and Lord.
The predominant God for the Christian west might be: leisure time, work, money, i.e. secularism.
It is pervasive, even in the Adventist church.
Do you think most Christians spend more time with Jesus than anyone or anything else in a given day?
Is Jesus the center of most Christian’s affections?
Please don’t misunderstand the question.
Christianity is not monasticism or isolation from the world.
Real Christians, from God’s point of view are to be light and salt.
Where are we in relation to the supremacy and fullness of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
In other words, is the Spirit in our lives?
Is the Holy Spirit in our lives?
The Bible is clear that there are conditions and hinderances to the Spirit’s abiding in our lives.
Do you want your lives to be everything you and god want it to be? Then take this in seriously.
Conditions for the Endowment
We will narrow down to three conditions to receiving the Spirit.

Today we will start with...
Repentance
Let’s look at our passage.
Thanks Andrea and Aubrey
“Men and brethren, what shall we do?”
acts
“...Men and brethren, what shall we do?” NKJV
The New King James Version, (Nashville: Thomas Nelson, 1982), .
Repent?
This is condition number one.
For without it, the other conditions make no difference.
Let’s look at repentance.
The Bible’s use of this word implies...
to reconsider (repent) v. — to have a change of self (heart and mind) that abandons former dispositions and results in a new self, new behavior, and regret over former behavior and dispositions.
In the spiritual context this means a radical change in heart and mind in the moral context from a person of sin to a person of God.
to reconsider (repent) v. — to have a change of self (heart and mind) that abandons former dispositions and results in a new self, new behavior, and regret over former behavior and dispositions.
metanoeō
That’s why CEB translators chose to add enough English words to define the word repent, which is trying to share the meaning of the Greek word metanoeō.
A change of heart and life.
Not just a belief only.
There is a change in the life.
More than simply reciting the lord’s prayer.
More than lip service.
memorizing and being able to quote scripture.
to know all the prophecies, understand the meaning of the sanctuary service...
It’s a complete transformation of who we are.
A complete makeover.
The kindness of God leads to repentance.
As we are changed, converted…we are led to trust.

Belief and trust are sometimes differentiated.
Honor the body temple
Trust is seen as moving forward based on conviction.
A desire for Christ to abide in the heart
While belief is intellectual assent.
We believe something to be so.
But not until we act on our belief are we showing faith or trust.
story of belief and trust.
Like trusting the such and such to be so...
In the Bible faith is always trust and not mere intellectual assent.
So often we look for signs and wonders of God’s presence.
Yet the Bible simply says to trust to have faith that it is so.
As you meet the conditions of the endowment of the Spirit, simply claim the promise.
Claim it to be so.
The fruit of the spirit will be evident and the gifts of the spirit.
Trust/faith leads to...
Obedience
As we love Jesus for salvation, we will be obedient.
Not perfect.
Obedient.
The opposite of rebellious.
From the heart.
This is an obedience from the heart to please God.
Not to earn salvation.
Jesus already paid the price.
He earned it for us.
