AMERICAN CHRISTIAN #75
The Cross and the Dove (Pt 3)
With obedience to Jesus in place, the unity of mutual personal cross-deaths prepared the 120 believers for the power of the Dove. Worldviews change under our own crucifixion, the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus changes the way we see things and how we move forward with the Dove (Holy Spirit). “As your cross, so will your Pentecost be.” Why do people avoid Pentecost? We shouldn’t be living in a partial surrender before Jesus, and a partial filling of the Holy Spirit. 1 John says, “But you have an anointing from the Holy One…” (1 Jn 2:20a). The “unbelieving believers” need a renewal! They must come forward and surrender before the cross, surrender is not just a one-shot deal, repentance brings life to dead believers as well! We are filled to the extent that we are emptied. If you still have some boulders in your life, you’ll need to surrender them, go to Jesus, He’ll meet you there at the cross.

We will be looking at this book and you may be finding yourself identifying with Peter as we find him in Matthew 16. Although he was a son of the Dove, Peter failed miserably in the matter of the Cross.
The stern warning that is obvious becomes a huge opportunity. Peter did not remain in the state of a floundering, uncertain son of the Dove, full of revelation one minute, and full of defeat the next. By the time of the Day of Pentecost, Peter had been through the Cross and the Resurrection. The fire fell on him, and he was ready to heal the sick, raise the dead, and preach boldly.
