Peter Roselle: Upgrading from Simple Interest to Compounding Revelation (Colossians 1:9)
Peter speaks at King of Kings Worship Center in Basking Ridge, NJ on May 7, 2023. 
Quotes: “Holy Spirit is a hinge point here, taking God's word from just "simply interesting," simple interest, to compounding revelation. When we first came out here to start the church, Trisha could testify to this, a lot of people found the Bible "simply interesting." Most of the women she was teaching in bible studies were very educated, but no fuse of passion for God had ever been lit... until they met Trish. What a gift, wow! They met someone who was on fire for God who was contagious – and now they were on fire for God.”

If you think about Christianity as bland and boring,
and you're just here waiting for Jesus to come back
and get you out of here,
I'm hoping to change your mind about that.
Okay, so when I say compounding revelation,
that was a term that the Lord gave me this week
while I was preparing that I had never heard before,
so I wanted to make sure, does it even make sense?
Can I back this up scripturally?
If it's Him telling you the thing, yes, you can back it up.
And that's what I'm going to try to do, help you see it.
So the text verse about the God of glory
comes from Acts chapter seven,
and you might remember Stephen, who was an early apostle
that God used, not one of the 12 disciples,
but somebody who was a devoted follower of Christ,
that became the first martyr.
Acts chapter seven talks about his defense
right before he was taken as the first martyr
that we read about.
The high priest, on trial, says to Stephen,
"Are these things so?"
Basically they were accusing him, 
similar to Jesus, of blaspheming,
and saying that he needed to be put to death
because he was blaspheming, and that's another day's sermon.
But they asked him, "Are these things so?"
And Stephen said, "Brethren and fathers, listen.
The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham
when he was in Mesopotamia."
So that's where the Biblical term
"The God of Glory" comes from.
I thought maybe through, I'm in finance,
so maybe you've heard about compound interest
versus simple interest. 
Bear with me, I won't belabor this analogy.
But compounding interest versus simple interest.
So let's just say you had a million bucks.
Say it, I have a million bucks.
You might as well say it, right? No harm.
And what if I could get seven percent interest,
simple interest, for 20 years.
All right, that means I would get $70,000 a year
for 20 years, which would add up to $1.4 million,
plus I would have that original million.
That would be $2.4 million.
But, I know you'll take it,
but wait for the rest of the story.
But what if I had a million dollars at seven percent
and I got compound interest? That's a different story.
Those of you that are in finance would know this.
Albert Einstein, it's attributed to him,
you can't prove it, said that it's one of the wonders
of the world, compound interest,
so you can look into that yourself if you want.
That would come out to $3.8 million.
So you went and doubled your return from $2.4m to $3.8m.
That's an extra $1.4m. Pretty good.
And you know, being from around here,
people say, "So what? What's that got to do with anything?
I'm in church. Read scripture."
Well, which one would you want, simple or compound?
I'm trying to keep the questions easy, all right?
So you would definitely want the compound interest.
So Holy Spirit, what we're about to celebrate on Pentecost
is a really big deal. When Jesus took His blood.
Remember, He said, "Don't touch me,
I have not yet ascended to the Father."
He was bringing His blood to the mercy seat in heaven,
and that finished the act of redemption.
Now on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit is released to the whole earth.
I poured out My Spirit on all flesh. Think about that.
Those people going into the abortion clinic, they're "all flesh."
It's in there, they just haven't activated it yet.
His Spirit on all flesh, so when they come in contact
with life, something sparks on the inside.
And one waters, God gives the increase.
You plant, another waters, God gives the increase.
We can't get hung up about well, I didn't lead them to the Lord.
Well, you might have gotten them closer.
You don't have to put that on yourself.
So I say the Holy Spirit is a hinge point here,
taking God's word from just "simply interesting,"
simple interest, to compounding revelation.
You got it. And when we first came out here,
Trisha could testify to this, a lot of people
found the Bible "simply interesting."
