What does Acts 2:14-21 reveal about the Holy Spirit?
As we're singing that song about the holiness of God, I'm reminded of a young man around 20 years of age or so. His name was Isaiah. He had an open vision of the pre-incarnate Christ in which he saw him for all of his holiness and grandeur and splendor. And in the moment he saw the pre-incarnate Christ in all of his holiness, he saw himself for what he really was. Not righteous, but a sinner. And he saw his nation for what his nation really was. Sinners. And as he just sat there in God's presence, grieving over his sinful nature and the sinful nature of his nation, God burned them in his lips and in his heart as a symbol of his redemption and sent them out to proclaim the word to a hostile generation.
And I just prayed in moments when we sing about the holiness of God, it would be beyond a song that we would get a glimpse of the grand and the magnitude, if we can, in our finite mind of his supreme characteristic which is his holiness and we wouldn't be in his presence with arrogance and pride we would not think that he is unworthy of us kneeling or bowing our face to the floor we would not think that he's not unworthy of anything but all of us in moments like that in humility and loneliness Sometimes, sometimes I wish that we didn't live in a country that had clocks. I hate it sometimes. Everything in America is like this, so heavily regimented that we can't even linger in God's presence because
We got reservations to get to restaurants and, you know, this whole country just ran on a clock, everything. Sometimes I just wish in moments like that we could just stay there and to not be awkward to you. And that we could just enjoy his presence so much. I mean, those moments are foretastes of glory divine. And I'm going to speak for myself and then I'm going to get to God's word. I'm going to speak for me. This is me. I pray some of you get to where I have gotten. I am a place right now in my life. I'm going to say this over and over and over until someone, you just be inspired by this. I would rather be alone with Christ in my prayer room than on this platform. I am so content just being alone with Christ and just sitting there and shedding tears there and let him wash my soul of my sinful nature there.
And I just plead there and I can envision him sitting across the room from me and I just want to stay there. And I think because of the responsibilities of this world, I have to come out and I have to engage people and I have to engage family and I have to prepare sermons and I have to lead meetings and I have to go to the office and sometimes I just want to stay there.
And if that makes me awkward, I'm content to be misunderstood. That I'm growing in such an intimacy with him that I enjoy just being with him. And nothing satisfied my soul. I'm talking too much right now. My time is running out. No, I can't take my time because you got to get to your restaurant because it's Mother's Day. And then we got another 2,000 people coming behind you in 30 something minutes.
And somebody will fall asleep because they don't have spiritual stamina because they don't enjoy just sitting in this presence. This is awkward. But nobody's taught us to just enjoy him. We enjoy men and we enjoy sermons, but we don't enjoy him. Like there's anything else in this life is going to be more satisfying to your soul. Not money. Not a relationship. Not a job. Not your 401k going up to the right. Not an opportunity. Not a platform. Not a preaching moment. Not marriage. Not a wedding. There is nothing we're going to experience in this life that's more satisfying to the soul than than the intimate, deep, abiding, powerful presence. I'm talking too much. You can see, look. Look behind you, see? It's counting down.
Because of that is why we have no revival. That's America. A day is going to come when we're going to have a room big enough I won't be chained to a clock. And I can do what I want. I pray a day come when we have a room big enough where I don't have to be a slave to a clock. And that all of us can fit in a room together.
