In this sermon Superstitious Behavior, sometimes we may participate in superstitious behavior without even realizing it. One may think that we’re influencing the effect that God has in our life when we are not. We think that our prayer caused us to get a new job, but it was somebody else’s prayer that did it. We think that our answer came to us because we came to church, but it was actually somebody else’s fasting. I would submit to you that it is possible that some people who come to this church are engaging in superstitious behavior. Not superstitious in the sense that it is false, but superstitious in the sense that they are relying on other people’s experience. They rely on others’ infilling of the Holy Ghost. They rely on others’ prayer life to meet their own needs. Each of us are responsible to maintain our experience with Jesus Christ. Pentecost is an experience not a doctrine, but it is an experience that we each must maintain to extend God’s protection over the sick among us as well as protecting the next generation to come.
