MAY 3 READING…ACTS 1
Christ is Risen, and meeting with His disciples. Earlier He had told them that the time would come when He would send the Holy Spirit to them, and He would dwell within them. That time was drawing closer and now Jesus who has appeared to them again is telling them to wait. They were to wait on the Holy Spirit. Sometimes that is the hardest thing for us to do. We get out ahead of Him, and do things on our own. There is nothing we can do for the kingdom of God apart from the Holy Spirit. Our faith is not about the abilities of we humans, but a demonstration of the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus told them that they would receive Power when the Holy Spirit came upon them. The Greek word used here is dunamis, from which we get the word dynamite. Dynamite when it explodes rearranges things…the Holy Spirit’s power rearranges things. It’s no longer the status-quo, God is going to do something supernatural…something that can only be done in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives in everyone of God’s genuine children. We must wait on Him, and move forward only by His power. Come on church…by the dunamis of the Holy Spirit, let’s go rearrange things!
Please share your thoughts.
