[@JCIL64313]

Wow, tough crowd Pastor Bill. Lord Jesus, break through that brick wall and fill the room with Your River of Life and Holy Spirit transformation. Bless and cleanse everyone in the room and remove all choking spirits. Preside over all with Your Spirit Father in Jesus name, Amen and Amen.🙏

@@JCIL64313 Reply to Comment: Thank you for your prayerful comment and the heart behind it. It’s clear that you desire to see the power of the Holy Spirit at work in the room, and that’s a shared longing for anyone who treasures the Gospel. I appreciate your focus on God’s presence and transformative power. At the same time, it’s important to remember how Jesus and the apostles approached teaching and preaching. The Holy Spirit works through the Word of God (John 6:63), and faithful preaching must center on the clear proclamation of Christ crucified and risen for sinners (1 Corinthians 2:2). Transformation comes not through vague spiritual feelings but through the Gospel’s power to convict, comfort, and create faith (Romans 1:16). Prayers like yours for God’s Spirit to fill the room are powerful when they align with His promises. God has already assured us that where His Word is faithfully preached, His Spirit is active (Isaiah 55:11). The goal, then, is not simply an emotional experience or removal of obstacles but a Spirit-driven understanding of sin (Law) and Christ’s finished work for salvation (Gospel). May the Lord answer your prayer by bringing clarity to the Word preached, comfort to those burdened by sin, and faith that rests entirely on the grace of Christ. Amen!

Just listened to another message of Bill's on Ephesians. Love it. Thank you once again for your prayers for my breakthrough. Everything is falling into place even though I don't see it, yet

@@upschutt4842 Reply to Comment: Thank you for sharing your experience and your gratitude for the prayers offered. It’s wonderful to hear how God is at work in your life, even when the outcomes are not fully visible yet. This aligns beautifully with the message of Ephesians, which emphasizes God’s sovereign and gracious work in all things “according to the purpose of His will” (Ephesians 1:11). As you reflect on God’s promises, remember the assurance found in Ephesians 2:8-10: that our salvation and all good things come solely by grace through faith, not by our efforts, so no one can boast. Even in seasons of waiting, we can rest in the knowledge that God is working all things for our good (Romans 8:28), shaping us to rely more deeply on Christ. Your journey is a testament to the truth that God’s plans unfold perfectly in His timing, even when we cannot yet see the full picture. Keep holding onto the promises of Christ, who has already secured your ultimate breakthrough through His life, death, and resurrection. May you continue to be strengthened by His Word and Spirit as He leads you forward.

@maliawelch8331 has the Holy Spirit given any unusual direction for these kinds of healing?

1. Sermon Category and General Problem This sermon is classified as "Mystical Encouragement." It emphasizes experiential spirituality and practical application, encouraging believers to embrace divine promises and spiritual gifts through faith and interaction with God. General Problem with the Category: Mystical Encouragement sermons often lean into subjective experiences, making it difficult for all hearers to connect unless balanced with clear Scriptural exposition and explicit distinctions between Law and Gospel. 2. Severity of the Law and Gospel Clarity Law's Severity: The Law is softened in this sermon. Though hearers are encouraged to pray, access God's promises, and live transformed lives, the sermon does not fully confront the hearer with their inability to fulfill these imperatives apart from divine intervention. Gospel Clarity: The Gospel is highlighted throughout, emphasizing that Christ’s death on the cross fully secured every spiritual need for eternity. However, the sermon leans more on implications of the Gospel (what believers can now do) than on direct proclamation of the Gospel (what Christ has done). 3. The Three Uses of God's Law (% of use in sermon): Mirror (Theological): 20% - Exposes the listener’s spiritual deficits (e.g., failing to engage with God’s promises). Didactic (Moral Guide): 80% - Encourages believers to live faithfully, meditate on Scripture, and pray effectively. Civil Restraint: Not utilized. 4. Semi-Pelagianism Check While the sermon affirms Christ’s finished work on the cross and God’s sovereign initiative, it places heavy emphasis on human responsibility to access these promises. This focus risks implying that the hearer must initiate or complete their faith journey through personal effort, skirting the edge of Semi-Pelagianism. However, the recurring mention of God’s empowerment mitigates this concern. 5. Scoring Diagnostic Textual Faithfulness 7 (Scripture referenced but not deeply exegeted) Law/Gospel Distinction 6 (Gospel clear but overshadowed by practical application) Bondage of the Will 5 (Imprecise distinction between God’s work and human effort) Christ-Centered Focus 7 (Jesus is central, but focus shifts to human response) Pastoral Application 8 (Encouraging, practical application throughout) Theological Integrity 7 (Mostly sound but risks overstating human responsibility) Total Score: 40/60 = Grade: B- Summary This sermon offers a rich, encouraging perspective on the Christian life, emphasizing divine provision and spiritual authority. However, it underemphasizes the severity of human inability and the exclusive sufficiency of Christ’s work. The focus on experiential engagement and practical application provides value but risks shifting the hearer’s reliance from God’s grace to personal effort. Improved distinction between Law and Gospel and a more direct proclamation of Christ’s saving work would enhance its theological robustness.

[@timhall4152]

Wow... so, I wonder how would you score Jesus' sermon on the mount? And gee, I don't seem to recall Jesus or anyone else in the entire Bible, for that matter, ever teaching or advocating, let alone performing such a criticism. You must have attended a highly renowned cemetery, er, seminary! You really should read Galatians chapters 3 and 5 and then ask yourself how Paul would rate your "theological" (MAN'S study of God) critique. Jesus: EVERYONE who came to him was healed; Paul, unusual miracles wrought by his hands, etc., total number of healings, unknown; Bill Johnson and those whom he's made disciples of Christ, thousands, if not 10's to 100's of thousands, maybe even millions worldwide, healed; You? Hmm... but you're sure PROUD of your ability to judge and critique, (i.e. accuse and condemn), just like your father, the devil, the father of lies and accuser of the brethren! Did I get that right? How close or far off was my assessment, do you think? I think Paul said something about no longer acknowledging (judging) people according to the flesh, because God has perfected us in our spirit/inner man, and that is what God sees and how He NOW sees us, ever since the cross, actually, oops- correction: from before the foundations of the world. "There is therefore NOW, NO CONDEMNATION to those who are in Christ Jesus." Don't allow your critique or assessment of grace to turn into legalism, which it appears very clear that you've done. That only makes one a "grace snob." So be careful. Just saying...

[@midlandchapel]

@@timhall4152 Thank you for engaging with the diagnostic. I appreciate your passion for Scripture and your desire to defend those who preach God’s Word. However, it’s crucial to clarify that evaluating a sermon is not about condemning individuals or belittling the work of the Spirit but about holding preaching accountable to the biblical standard. Faithful preaching, as modeled by Christ and the apostles, involves rightly dividing Law and Gospel to lead hearers from conviction of sin to the comfort of Christ’s finished work. On the Sermon on the Mount Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount is perfect because He is God in the flesh. Yet even there, Jesus uses the Law in its fullest severity. He declares that righteousness surpassing that of the scribes and Pharisees is required and intensifies the Law by addressing thoughts and intentions (e.g., equating hatred with murder, lust with adultery). This demonstrates the mirror use of the Law-showing humanity’s inability to meet God’s standard and pointing to the need for a Savior (Himself). Thus, Jesus not only preaches the Law but embodies and fulfills the Gospel. On Judgment You mention Galatians 3 and 5, which underscore that salvation is by grace through faith, not works. Our diagnostic aligns with this: it highlights how sermons must point listeners to trust entirely in Christ’s work, not in their own effort to “access” His promises. Constructive critique of preaching is not akin to satanic accusation but a response to biblical exhortations like 2 Timothy 2:15, where Paul charges Timothy to “rightly handle the word of truth.” On Miracles Miracles, whether through Jesus, Paul, or faithful servants today, testify to God’s power and grace. However, miracles must not overshadow the Gospel message. The apostles emphasized that signs point to Christ crucified and risen as the heart of salvation, not to human achievements or faith as a prerequisite for God’s favor (1 Corinthians 2:2). On Accusations of Pride It is not prideful to examine preaching against Scripture. Acts 17:11 commends the Bereans for testing even Paul’s teaching by the Word. Our analysis seeks to uphold Christ’s supremacy in preaching, ensuring sermons do not obscure His work with undue emphasis on human response. In summary, the diagnostic was offered to encourage growth in fidelity to Scripture and proclamation of Christ. The aim is not to diminish anyone’s ministry but to uphold the Gospel’s clarity and comfort, for the sake of all who hear. Thank you for raising these points; I hope this clarifies our intentions.
