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.

These statements when I had heard them before sounded very true and I totally had agreed with them.  In fact, they had inspired me.  This time, though, was different.  This time there was at first, for a moment fear and not a Godly fear.  No, it was a fear that the price I would have to pay would be the cost of the life of one or mor...

Fragrance

  Fragrance   2 Corinthians 2:14-15   Now thanks  be  to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.  15  For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing.   Today in a prayer meeting someone mentioned the word fragrance as they were praying. The first thing that popped into my head was of a college student who had come into my store yesterday.  This young man had gone a little overboard, in my opinion, with his cologne.  It was so strong that I could smell him coming.  I also have customers who come in to the store with a different type of fragrance, one that isn’t pleasant.  In both cases you can smell them before you even see them and also the fragrance sticks around for a while after they leave.  The point of this being that fragrance influences and ...
