19 Oct The Dancing Hand of God (part 5)

Dancing Hand God Overview

In part 5 of ‘The Dancing Hand of God’ series, Pastor explores how God desires intimate, hands-on relationship with His people through the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Isaiah 8:18, he reveals that believers are called to be ‘signs and wonders’ – living manifestations of God’s power in a corrupted world. The sermon emphasizes that while many churches start in the Spirit’s power, they often lose the anointing and settle for mere religion. God created mankind uniquely with His hands, establishing our need for hands-on divine interaction. The Holy Spirit serves as our present governor of the Kingdom while Jesus is seated at the Father’s right hand. Through powerful testimonies, including police officers getting saved at a tent revival, Pastor demonstrates how the Spirit’s presence brings liberty and transformation. He challenges believers to recognize that God wants to manifest Himself through them in workplaces, neighborhoods, and daily life. The message concludes with insights about conscience cleansing through Christ’s blood, enabling believers to live holy lives in God’s power rather than religious performance.

Dancing Hand God Notes

Pastor opens with a powerful testimony from Summit Lake, Wisconsin, where a tent revival created such a spiritual disturbance that a nearby bar called police to complain. The irony was profound – the bar accused the church of disturbing their peace, yet when officers arrived, they encountered the Holy Spirit’s presence and ended up accepting Christ. This illustrates how God’s authentic power disrupts darkness and draws people to salvation.The message addresses a critical issue in modern Christianity: churches that begin in the Spirit’s power but gradually drift into religious formalism. Pastor notes that Lutheran, Methodist, and Presbyterian churches all started under the Holy Spirit’s anointing with gifts operating and supernatural manifestations. However, the anti-Christ spirit (not anti-Jesus, but anti-anointing) works to reduce vibrant faith to mere religious acknowledgment without Kingdom advancement power.A crucial distinction emerges between Jesus as Lord over the church and the Holy Spirit as Lord in the church. While Christ is seated at the Father’s right hand, He sent the Holy Spirit as our Comforter and Kingdom governor. This divine arrangement enables intimate relationship – God didn’t just speak humans into existence like other creation, but personally formed us with His hands, establishing our need for hands-on divine interaction.Pastor shares a remarkable testimony from Columbus, Ohio, where he consecrated his hotel room to the Holy Spirit’s lordship. When he returned, the maid had left a note declaring ‘surely the presence of the Lord is in this place.’ This demonstrates how the Spirit’s manifest presence can impact anyone who encounters consecrated spaces where believers invite His governance.Drawing from Isaiah 8:18, the message reveals that believers are given to God as ‘signs and wonders’ – not merely to receive blessings, but to be conduits of divine manifestation. This explains why Christians aren’t immediately taken to heaven upon salvation; we remain as Kingdom ambassadors to demonstrate God’s power in corrupted systems. The goal isn’t reforming corrupt systems but rescuing people from darkness into marvelous light.The sermon explores God’s strength metaphors – finger, hand, and arm representing escalating levels of divine power. When Jesus cast out demons by God’s finger (Luke 11:20), He demonstrated that even the least divine strength overwhelms satanic power. Pastor humorously notes that Isaiah saw Satan as a mere speck of dust, invisible except under concentrated light, challenging believers to stop magnifying demonic influence and instead exercise spiritual authority.The message concludes with profound insights about conscience cleansing through Christ’s blood. Old Testament sacrifices could never cleanse conscience, leaving people perpetually sin-conscious and spiritually inferior. However, Jesus’ blood cleanses our conscience from sin and dead works, enabling believers to know and feel their holiness before God. This cleansed conscience becomes the foundation for supernatural living – not through human effort but through Spirit-empowered righteousness.
