Insert Your Name.

 Insert your name.

 

(The seed of this was planted by something I heard Isaac Ball say)

 

Take a moment with me and meditate on this fragment Acts 4:8, “Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said”.  

What happens here in Acts 4:8-12 is exactly what Jesus promised would happen in Luke 12:11-12 “Now when they bring you to the synagogues and magistrates and authorities, do not worry about how or what you should answer, or what you should say. 12 For the Holy Spirit will teach you in that very hour what you ought to say.”

Now here’s the beautiful thing, this isn’t just limited to Peter or those who lived in the 1st century.  The Holy Spirit is still filling and teaching, those who will allow Him, today.  We can, and should, look at Acts 4:8 as a put your name here. 

Then Philip, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, Then Kurt, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, Then Chris, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, Then Heather, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, Then Linda, filled with the Holy Spirit, said, Then Insert YOUR name here, filled with the Holy Spirit, said”.  

We can and must be filled with the Holy Spirit at all times.

1st Report from 2nd Ireland Trip

Been With Jesus

  Acts 4:13   Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.   I saw a clip from an interview with R.T. Kendall where he was asked this question, “After 70 years in ministry what would be your advice to a young R.T. Kendall?”  His answer was that though he himself has many degrees he would not recommend to young ministers to go to seminary.  He mentioned Acts 4:13. His recommendation was to do 2 things.  Pray a lot and know your Bible. He said that God wants us to know 2 things, His Word and His ways. He pointed out that how we know His ways or anyone’s ways is to spend time with them. This is not the first time that Acts 4:13 has jumped out to me. This time I ask myself the question do unbelievers know that I have been with Jesus?  The they that realized in Acts 4:13 wasn’t the church but unbelievers....
