This is a nettle which ought to be firmly grasped. The One given to unite the body of Christ is the center of controversy. In many Christian circles the Holy Spirit is either neglected, forgotten, or misunderstood. The HS was Sudden v2-4 Falling of the HS & Filling of the HS A CHANGE OF CONTROL - A POURING OF GOD – v17 & 33Ī. Here is the Paradigm shift of the first church and the Paradigm shift needed of our church today! (Mat 5:44 KJV) But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you (Mat 5:39 KJV) But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. (Mat 5:34 KJV) But I say unto you, Swear not at all neither by heaven for it is God’s throne: (Mat 5:32 KJV) But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. (Mat 5:28 KJV) But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
(Mat 5:22 KJV) But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. > This morning I want to preach on The “Paradigm Shift” of the Church – READ ACTS 2:14-18Īfter the sacrifice was made on the cross, God changed the way He related to His people. Steven Covey, 7 Habits of Highly Effective People – "Our paradigms, correct or incorrect, are the sources of our attitudes and behaviors, and ultimately our relationships with others." PARADIGM SHIFT = to discover a new model or pattern that helps us to see from a new understanding, thus shifting from the old to the new way of thinking and acting. It is the way we "see" the world in terms of perceiving, understanding, and interpreting. PARADIGM = an example that serves as a model or pattern. What happens when a person is reborn? To be born again means there is a genuine paradigm shift. But, there is an eternal heaven for those who are re-born into Jesus. There is no eternal future for the pursuit of money, power and pleasure. No one can change people like the HS of God, it is His own “conversion”. He then builds us into His image in order to serve Him. THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN CHANGE LIVES IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD! The natural downward spiral of sin always humiliates us and tears us down but Jesus Christ rescues us from the penalty of sin, hell. He didn’t realize it but he thought he could act like god. Needless to say he had in my opinion a “god complex”. WHY WAS THIS DONE? It was done TO MAKE MORE MONEY! The owner wanted to change people into his own design. Some went from the highest paid sales positions to data entry and inventory control where they were paid a good salary for as long as they worked there. Most of the sales people left and those who stayed couldn’t hardly function for months afterward. Everyone had a bad time to say the least.Īfter it was all over there were several law suits.
Some people had mental breakdowns and curled up into the fetal position on the floor. That would humiliate anyone! One guy had a grand mall seizure. Needless to say many people wet themselves. He also had guys yelling at individuals, supposedly to humiliate & tear then down, so he could “rebuild their psyche” into powerful, influential sales people. He put groups of people in a room with no chairs and after hours of lecturing he wouldn’t let then leave the room. I guess he thought the “psychological science” he taught was cutting edge. The goal was to achieve a psychological paradigm shift in every person and in the company that would create a super sales person.Įven though it cost several hundred dollars per person he didn’t check out the guys references well enough and didn’t realize he was a crook. The guy convinced him to put all of the sales people through a “life changing” 2 day seminar. As it was growing and before I got there, the owner was influenced by a “new age” motivational speaker. In Dallas I worked for a furniture company that sold over a half a billion dollars worth of furniture a year.
