This is teaching given by Zac Poonen in 2004. Many of us need to listen or watch this teaching. We have many Pharisees in the land that show not the love of Christ of which I was an active participant. The outline was pulled from sermonindex and at the end I have links to the audio or video versions of this three part series. Many of us need to repent as we have let a spirit of condemnation and judgment lead us astray. Without love we are just clanging gongs and of no use to the kingdom of God.
CHARACTERISTICS of PHARISEE’S” – Zac Poonen.
We are going to be thinking of the same theme through these 3 days, led by the spirit and not by the law. Jesus was in conflict with the Pharisees most of the time. Pharisee-ism is one of the leavens Jesus warned about Mark 8 Matthew 16. The Pharisee had all their doctrine correct and talked of holiness. The Herodians were the opposite they were worldly like modern “worldly Christian’s”. They can listen to sermons and go home and watch smut on TV. The third group was the Sadducees. They don’t believe in the miraculous. They didn’t believe in angels or the super-natural and spiritual. These are 3 groups of Christians. It is interesting to see he was always falling out with the Pharisee’s. They were the ones who crucified Jesus. Which group do you fall into. The Pharisee’s are the worst type of Christian on the earth. We need to understand the characteristics of the Pharisees. It must be that God wants us to know. I am personally in more danger of becoming a Pharisee than the others. We need God to open our eyes. I am going to go through the gospels. The spirit of the Pharisee is against the Holy Spirit. I have sought over the last few years to find the Pharisee in me. God gives you light on yourself. If you are not getting insight into the light in your life God is not blessing you. God wants to clean you. Keep Reading...
