The Report Of The Seventy Disciples

The time had come for the return of the seventy disciples, whom Jesus sent abroad to preach. And Jesus, Peter, James and John began their journey back to Galilee. They went up through Samaria. They passed through many villages and towns, and everywhere the people crowded the ways, to see the man the seventy spoke about. And Jesus taught and healed the sick.

And when they reached Capernaum, the seventy were there. And they were filled with joy. They said, “The Spirit of the Lord of Hosts was with us all the way, and we were filled with the powers of the Holy Spirit. The power of the sacred Word was manifest in us. We healed the sick. We caused the lame to walk, the deaf to hear, the blind to see. The very devils trembled when we spoke the Word, and they were subject unto us.”
And Jesus said, “As you were going on your way, the heavens were bright with light, the earth was bright, they seemed to meet and be at one. And I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the powers of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

“But you should not rejoice because you have the power to heal the sick and make the devils tremble by the Word. For such rejoicing is from carnal self. You may rejoice because the nations of the earth have ears to hear the Word, and eyes to see the glory of the Lord, and hearts to feel the inner breathing of the Holy Spirit. And you may well be glad because your names are written in the Lamb’s Book Of Life.

Jesus In Thanksgiving Appreciation

Then Jesus looked to heaven and said, “I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have revealed yourself to babies, and taught them how to light the path and lead the wise to yourself. What you have given to me, behold, I have given the same to them, and through the sacred Word I have bestowed on them the understanding heart, that they might know and honour you through Christ, who was, who is, and who evermore shall be.”

A Golden Opportunity
And then He said aside (separately) to the seventy and twelve, “Most blessed are your eyes because you see the things you see. And blessed they are your ears because they hear the things they hear. And blessed are your hearts because you understand.

“In ages that are gone, the wise of earth, the prophets, seers and kings, desired to hear, to see and to know what you have heard, seen and known, but they had not attained the necessary spiritual level. They had not the opportunity, and could not hear, see and know.”

Jesus Rejoices In The Spirit

In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babies. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight. All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it." Luke 10:21-24

Why People Should Rejoice

Apostle Matthew: The powers of the Holy Spirit are already in the ministers of God. The powers are not yet manifest, because some of the ministers have not grown in spirit. Even when the powers become manifest, the ministers of God rejoice in themselves that God gave them such power and glory. Truly, truly and truly, any person who has grown in spirit, does not rejoice because he has spiritual powers, which have being given to him. Instead, he rejoices in the fact that he is using the powers to do the work of God.

If people rejoice because they have the powers, they shall become proud and pompous. And when people bring a problem to them, they do not first inquire from God, on what to do and how to do so, because they know the powers are already in them. They will be using the powers, whether God wants it so or not. Truly, truly and truly, such a person has the powers, but he has not yet grown in spirit. He has not reached the necessary spiritual level and has not qualified.

Worthwhile Praises

Apostle Matthew: It is not a sin to praise somebody for his good works. It is fitting to praise and encourage somebody who has the power of the Holy Spirit. The Hosts of Angels and Saints of Heaven are not against praises, for the good works, which God is using somebody to do.

Some people see somebody who has the power of the Holy Spirit, they rejoice and praise the person, and they honour and respect the person.

Angels Examine Praises

Apostle Matthew: The Angels examine the heart with which they praise the person. Some praise others, because themselves want to have the same power or to tap the same blessing. The Angels can bless those who appreciate and rejoice, by giving them the same power or other powers of the Holy Spirit. This is because such a person uses purity of heart and gladness to welcome the Holy Spirit and His works. His attitudes shows that he is not against the power of the Holy Spirit and its work. If he were against, he would not have praised the good works, and he will be doing underground manipulations to pull down the person or say bad prayers against the person. The Angels teach such a person and help him to make his spiritual talent manifest.

The point we are making today is this, whether people praise you or not, continue to do your good works.

Against Hindrances

Apostle Matthew: Wickedness can hinder the work of the Holy Spirit in the midst of God’s people. Therefore, the children of God should avoid all forms of bad human relations and various characteristics: anger and wrath, ill will, regrets, sorrows, worry, anxiety, fear, weakness in prayer, etc.
