Powerful In The Holy Ghost

There is so much power in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I don't know if we know how much power we really have access to. I do not know if we understand the power that resides in us is through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Today, if you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, I implore you to try him today.  Try accessing that life changing power today.   I truly believe that we have various opportunities throughout the day to Minister to the needs of others. With such great access to such great power, why are we holding back??? Could it be that we are so busy with life that we miss our heavenly opportunities?

We do not even have the imagination of what the Holy Spirit can, will, shall, and must do through us. Will you even try today? Don't miss a moment to show God's Love, Majesty, Mercy, Grace, Power, Miracles, Signs, and/or His Wonders.

As I was reading my devotional today it took me to Acts 3.  Peter and John have been recently baptized with fire in the Holy Spirit. They are about to enter the temple and run into a man at the gate called Beautiful. The Bible said he was a lame man and had been that way for 40 years, since birth as a matter of fact. He was there begging for money which is what he did daily.

When the apostles see this man the first thing, they did was felt compassion for him. The ministry that Jesus operated in all the time, kicked in and they began to engage him by speaking to him. Next, they gave him something, not what he wanted or what he asked for. But how many of you know that if you have been unable to walk for 40 years…. I believe it is safe to say that the lame man knew and felt like this was his lot in life. His thoughts could possibly have been I will be like this for the rest of my life. The rest of my days I will be unable to walk, unable to provide for myself or my family without coming here and begging. I think it is a safe It is safe to say that he was relegated to this position and or posture.

However, here comes the Disruptors (Peter and John) with their no having silver and gold selves.  Answering the lame man responded by saying this is what I have for you.  Take up your bed and walk in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene. And suddenly, his feet felt something that they had never felt before. Power surged in his body and he began to stand up in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible said at once he stood up. He began to walk around on his new legs and feet. Any entered into the temple, leaping and jumping and praising God.

So once again, my brothers and sisters, I implore you to access the power of the Holy Spirit that God has granted you and Jesus gifted you. Go out today and throughout your day and throughout your week seek who you can bless with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Who will cross your path today or tomorrow? And You will access the power of the Holy Spirit, operate in the ministry that Jesus called You to, and witness the power of the Holy Spirit move on behalf of the person you are praying for.

Yours in Christ

His Death, His Resurrection and His Ascension

WOW as I read about Jesus’s death, resurrection, and ascension I am encouraged.  He reminded his disciples to take communion and to remember they are now entering into a new covenant.  This new covenant represents all that is embodied in the Lord’s Supper.  “Do this in remembrance of me” is what Jesus says…When we participate in communion and remember all what Jesus paid for, we begin to get a glimpse of the death, resurrection, and ascension.   

My God if we would get that point that it is as often as we remember that we take communion. What a blessed Remembrance it is to know that he took ALL our sins away. We must remember the cross, the grave, the resurrection, and the ascension….the memory of these four events will cause us to be blessed.  What we need to remember and never forget about the cross is that Jesus said “IT IS FINISHED”. 

Do not live in the grave but remember that He is Risen, he is out of the grave as we should be. We are to no longer wallow in self-pity and doubt, He is Seated next to his father in heaven and we are seated in Christ Jesus in heavenly places. Ohhh what a mighty place to be in….in Christ Jesus in heavenly places. In this place we have the Fullness of Joy. When we miss the vision and purpose of the death, the resurrection, and the ascension we do not have a chance to come into the fullness of the ministry of the spirit.

There is a reason we do not have the Fullness of Joy. There are dead areas in our lives that need the Lord's resurrection power to touch them. We need to ask Holy Spirit to reveal the fullness of the redemption for you and I today, so you and I can be clothed in power.   To get to that position in our lives we must have a contrite heart and a broken spirit. 

Our hearts may be already bruised and broken by the world and life’s circumstances and situations…Ohhh, my dear friend to be broken by God, and for God is different. We must come to God with no games, we come to our maker, our creator, our manufacturer, and let him restore, repair, mend and set us up in our rightful positions.  We must let God have all of our cares, all of our proclivities, all of our issues, all of our stressors, all of our sin, all of our unforgiveness, all of our hard heartedness, all of our double mindedness, all of our fears, doubt and unbelief and we give it ALL away and we totally Surrender. So, you and I can honestly receive His power and say Your will be done in our lives.   

Let’s remember All that the cross represents…His Death, His Resurrection, and His Ascension and Our Redemption. Take a moment today and take communion with your family and friends or by yourself receive All that it represents in Jesus name AMEN.

Yours in Christ
