Acts1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth” [with emphasis]
When Jesus says, “…you will be my witnesses”, a lot of people think that all He is referring to is evangelism. Yes, it is evangelism but there are deeper implications. Jesus is saying to us, “You will receive power to become all that God has destined you to become. Read the rest of this entry
Special Ability I
Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
The number one way to get God’s power is prayer. Acts 1:14 “They all met together and were constantly united in prayer…” [with emphasis]. Read the rest of this entry
Love Gives
Matt.25: 37 “Then these righteous ones will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry and feed you? Or thirsty and give you …drink? 40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!’”
You have not begun to worship until the people that have no clue about God look at you and conclude that you are foolish. Worship can be ridiculous. How can wise men bow to a baby?
Witnesses
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about Me everywhere… and to the ends of the earth” Acts 1:8
Jesus says about you and I, “…you will be my witnesses, telling people about Me everywhere”. We are witnesses for Christ Jesus and the Holy Spirit has planted all that we need to be effective witnesses in us. However, you cannot stand as a witness to an event you did not witness otherwise you will be a false Read the rest of this entry
Kingdom Opportunities
“So don’t let anyone condemn you for what you eat or drink, or for not celebrating certain holy days or new moon ceremonies or Sabbaths. For these rules are only shadows of the reality yet to come. And Christ himself is that reality” Col.2:16-17
Every Christian will have an opportunity to downgrade Christ. To you it could be just sleep with that man and get a car then you can wash yourself in the Blood of Jesus. It can come in many different forms but it is the same thing that confronted the church in Colossae. It was what I was faced with in the personal experience I shared with you yesterday. The nice Read the rest of this entry
He Is Waiting
“Jesus asked, “Didn’t I heal ten men? Where are the other nine? Has no one returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” Lu.17:17-18 [emphasis added]
Our God is an action God. He is always doing stuff. He is always creating. He is always in motion. When Jesus walked physically on the earth, He was going everywhere healing the sick, raising the dead, delivering the captive. So we are accustomed to a God that does stuff; we are accustomed to an ever-active God. In fact, when we need things done in our lives we run to Jesus because we know that Read the rest of this entry
Be Merciful
“Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will bless you for it” 1Pet.3:9.
God wants us to share His mercy with others. And it is because He himself has showed us that that is the way. I have a friend that is saved today; he used to be a Muslim. He has been saved for over ten years and he is doing very well in God. My friend talked to his brother about Jesus and his brother said to him, ‘I have a problem with this your Jesus and this is why I struggle to accept Read the rest of this entry
Show And Share
“God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy” Matt.5:7
Have you noticed that over the past few days I have been giving you a lot of scriptural references? It is because this is the Word of God and that is where you should be grounded. Open your mind to the Holy Spirit as you obediently read them. Taste and see…
Compassionately So
“Jesus saw the huge crowd as he stepped from the boat, and he had compassion on them and healed their sick” Matt.14:14.
Jesus heals with compassion. Everything Jesus did, He did out of compassion. Jesus did not heal condescendingly; He healed out of compassion. If you want to operate the gift of healing, you must unlock your heart of compassion. You want to lay hands on the sick and they will recover? When someone is in pain, does it break your heart? Does their challenge move you to act on their Read the rest of this entry
Found People Find People
‘Jesus said to them, “Come with me. I’ll make a new kind of fisherman out of you. I’ll show you how to catch men and women instead of perch and bass’ Matt.4:19 [MSG]
The second important reminder is found people find people. Jesus found two disciples and said something that was crucial. Jesus said, ‘I will make you fishers of men’ [Matt.4:18-19]. Jesus was saying, I have found you – you will find others [translated]. There was famine in Samaria. There was so much hunger that people began to eat their children. And four lepers decided to run away because the Read the rest of this entry
