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 1^st 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.
