Father, if You are Willing…

42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done.”

43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. — Luke 22:42-43 | International Standard Version (ISV) The International Standard Version of the Holy Bible Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.

Jude 1:1-25

This passage in the Bible has been very important for me recently. It helped clear up so many questions I had in my head. If you are willing, read 'The Letter Of Jude' from the Bible and maybe it will clear a few questions up in your head as well!

Bonus: Genesis 19:1-38 (Because it's mentioned, and is very intriguing to me.)

Be careful!! God had made the Bible to be understood plainly. Overtime men had changed words and or phrases thinking that it’s a necessity to be more plain, while in reality their mystifying that which is plain due to traditions. Gods word as a whole, is a perfect chain, one portion linking into and explaining another. True seekers for truth need not err, for not only is the Word of God plain and simple in declaring the way of life, but the Holy Spirit is given as a guide in understanding the way to life therein revealed.

Hello! I've recently become interested in reading the Bible and was curious to know if you recommend any specific version/translation? I'm an atheist, so I don't really know where to start- and to be clear I don't want to read it to "debunk" or disrespect, but to experience the undeniable literary value it has! I'm from a partly Jewish family and grew up in an Episcopalian school, so I have some fondness for the stories I am already familiar with. Sorry if it's a strange ask. Wishing you well!

Hello! Thanks for reaching out, and no worries, it's not strange! I think curiosity is a very valid reason to read anything regardless of belief, and tbh the Bible has a lot of really great stories and is really great literature. I've read the Quran (I actually own one, a friend gave it to me as a gift once) and other holy texts too.

Soooo. Translations can be tricky because it depends on what you are looking for.

If you're looking for word-for-word accuracy, the New King James Version is good--it's very literal in translation, and in more modern English than the KJV. However, the downside is that literality misses the poetry and other meanings of words that can't be conveyed through straightforward matching the closest meaning.

If you're looking for readability, like modern English with the main points as the priority, The Message is great. It's often called a "paraphrase," but that's not quite accurate. It aims to get the main message (heh) of the words and phrases used across by translating them into modern English.

If you're looking for something more in-between, that translates each word but also keeps context in mind, the New International Version (or TNIV) and English Standard Version (ESV) are great as well. The ESV especially tries to keep the poetry, and they are both very readable.

There's also this site that is really, really useful, because it has so many translations and sometimes if a particular passage or story confuses or intrigues me, I'll use it to compare translations because like, that helps me understand what they were going for.

Feel free to ask any other questions if you have them! One of my favorite classes back in college was the Bible as Literature, and I think a lot of the stories in it are really, really fascinating, complex, sometimes horrifying, sometimes beautiful.

We are not our own. God created us so, He thereby owns us. He has given us guidelines, counsel, and warnings for how to live in this sin cursed society we live in, the commandments. At the end of the day He will bring us before Himself to determine if we will spend eternity in intense happiness! He sent us an advocate, and helper knowing that no human being can ever meet His standards, that advocate is Jesus, that Helper is the Holy Spirit!

[anonymousseee]

God didn’t answer my prayers because it’s not his will. (Yan ang common answers nila if you ask people or even pastors) but let’s go deeper - God have revealed me something that really change my heart. God did not answer my prayer because He wants to perfect my character in suffering. Why? Because the goal is not to become successful but to perfect me so when I enter heaven his image is the one I’ll be reflecting and that is his will, for me to go to heaven perfected by the holy spirit. Why Holy spirit? In Galatians 5: 22-23. In the New International Version of the Bible, these verses read: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, FORBEARANCE , kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

Forbearance means tolerance,patient, long suffering - means I have the holy spirit because I’m experiencing this patient for a long time to have an engineering job, or related job(where I lower my standards this time) I thought before it’s because my dream was to high, but it’s not because my character is still wrong and I believe until now. He want to perfect my character because I know now that if Jesus will give it in instant without forbearance my character will change and as a Christian God’s will is to perfect my character to reflect himself in me. So Almighty God, Jesus, Holy Spirit may your will be done. Let me be cultivated in your image 🥹😭

25 Inspiring Bible Verses About Prayer

I used to think that praying was a weakness of mine and that I was really bad at it. Whether I was alone or in a group, when it was time to pray, I often felt like I just couldn’t come up with the right words (if any!). In my faith tradition, I saw a lot of people speak beautifully and spontaneously—and that was hard for me. Over time, I’ve grown in confidence. There isn’t just one way to pray. As I’ve studied many Bible verses about prayer, I’ve been encouraged to learn that there are endless ways to pray and connect with God! Whether you speak aloud from the heart, recite a common prayer, or contemplate in silence while the Holy Spirit moves, they all have their place. Related Reading: Tired of Boring, Routine Prayers? Here are 10 New Ways to Pray!

What Does the Bible Say About Prayer?

The Bible presents prayer as the way people communicate directly with God, their Creator. It includes many examples and encourages believers to approach the Lord with faith, humility, and perseverance while seeking His guidance, wisdom, comfort, and strength. Many Bible verses about prayer demonstrate practical and powerful ways the people of the Bible could pray—and we can, too.

Examining Verses About Prayer in Hebrew and Greek

When we read Bible verses about prayer in modern English, they are translated from the ancient languages the Bible was originally written in, Hebrew and Greek. These words are rich with meaning—in fact, multiple words in the Biblical text are translated to “prayer” in English. If you want to take a deeper dive, take a look at a free resource like Blue Letter Bible, where you can see how words are translated and what they mean. It’s also helpful to examine commentary from experts in those languages to understand the full meaning of verses about prayer. For example, according to AlephBeta, Tefillah (Heb. תפילה; te-feel-ah) is the Hebrew word for prayer. The word itself contains a range of meanings. The Hebrew root פלל connotes “executing judgment” (Exodus 21:22) or “thinking” (Genesis 48:11). In this sense, the word להתפלל, to pray, may also refer to a process of accounting or contemplation. While tefillah is the most common, generic word for prayer, the Bible uses many other terms as well. For example, the word עתירה (atirah), related to “digging” (Genesis 25:21); תחינה (techina), which means “supplication” or “begging” (Deuteronomy 3:23); and שיח (siach), which connotes “conversation” (Genesis 24:64, Pslams 102:1). The Bible has a rich vocabulary of prayer that represents a broad range of different approaches and types of prayers, each with its own unique quality and flavor (emphasis added). In Greek, the language of the New Testament, the word most commonly translated to “prayer” is proseuche. This article on prayer from Renner Ministries explains the significance of that word to the original audience. As you can see, there is much to learn about prayer in the Bible! The verses about prayer listed below are just the beginning (but they’re a great place to start).

25 Meaningful Bible Verses About Prayer

There are so many Bible verses about prayer that the best way to consider all of them would just be to read the whole Word of God! However, if you’d like to reference a few, this selection from both the Old and New Testaments covers many of the elements of why and how to pray.  All of these Bible verses about prayer are found in the NIV (New International Version), but you could also read them in the King James Version (KJV) or English Standard Version (ESV). 1. Exodus 33:11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend… I love how one of the earliest verses about prayer paints a picture of two friends talking to each other. That is a beautiful way to approach praying to God. 2. 1 Samuel 1:27 I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. This verse is part of one of the longer Scriptures about prayer: the story of Hannah, the prophet Samuel’s mother. She was in great anguish about her infertility and poured out her heart to God in lament and begged for a child. He granted her request. This is one of the first examples of a prayer of supplication: humbly asking God to provide something. 3. 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. These Scriptures on prayer present a message from God to His people who have rebelled. He reminds them that no matter what they have done if they seek Him in humble repentance, He will offer forgiveness and healing. 4. Psalms 13:1–2 How long, Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? These verses about prayer take the form of lament. There are many prayer Scriptures like this in the Bible. We can take our pain and our questions to God in prayer, even when it seems like He doesn’t see us. 5. Psalm 27:7–8 Hear my voice when I call, Lord; be merciful to me and answer me. My heart says of you, ‘Seek his face!’ Your face, Lord, I will seek. The Psalmist here demonstrates boldness; these Bible verses about prayer show how we can approach God in a way that asks for His attention. 6. Psalm 34:17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. In one of many verses about prayer in the Psalms, this prayer Scripture reminds us that God hears us when we pray and cry out to Him. He will answer. 7. Psalm 55:17 Evening, morning, and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice. Once again, God hears. Note that the writer in this Scripture on prayer calls out to God repeatedly. 8. Psalm 59:16 But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. Not all verses about prayer are requests for help. In this Psalm, the writer offers a song of praise for God’s great power and love, which is instructive for our prayers. 9. Psalm 145:18 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. This Scripture on prayer reminds us that not only does God answer prayer, but He is near to those who call on Him. You can remember this when it seems like He is far away. 10. Jeremiah 29:11–12 “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” These famous verses about prayer paint the picture of the relationship between God and His people who are in exile. This is part of a longer letter in which He tells them to be patient while they wait 70 long years for their deliverance. Even though it seems like He is slow to answer, He offers hope and a future for them and will listen to their prayers.  11. Matthew 6:5–8 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Jesus has several verses about prayer in the Sermon on the Mount. His point here is that prayer full of empty phrases done for show is its reward. Meaningful prayer has nothing to do with performance and is all about your relationship with God, like a parent and child. 12. Matthew 6:9–13 (also Luke 11:2–4) This, then, is how you should pray: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.” In these verses about prayer, known as the Lord’s prayer, Jesus continues teaching by providing a framework for talking to God. It is simple yet profound, summarizing who God is and how we may humbly approach Him. 13. Matthew 7:7–8 (also Luke 11:9–10) Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Towards the end of the Sermon on the Mount, there are more verses about prayer in which Jesus encourages His followers to be bold in their prayers. A loving God wants to provide good gifts to His children. 14. Matthew 26:39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” In more verses about prayer later in Matthew, Jesus provides an example before He goes to the cross. He is in great distress and is honest about it, but He is still ultimately surrendered to the will of God. 15. Mark 11:24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. This Scripture on prayer challenges us not just to ask God for our desires, but to believe that we will receive them. 16. John 16:21–24 “A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete.” These verses on prayer are a little more cryptic, but Jesus is trying to provide His disciples with hope during a time of sorrow, which is temporary. He reminds them that God will give them what they ask for. And because of who He is, they can pray in His name—with His authority. 17. Romans 8:26 “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans.” Sometimes, we don’t know what to say when we talk to God, and that’s okay. There are many times I’ve sat in wordless contemplation. This Scripture on prayer says that the Spirit prays for us in mysterious groanings, which is a great comfort if you’ve ever been overwhelmed, numb, or wordless for any reason. 18. Ephesians 6:18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people. Paul instructs believers in this Scripture on prayer to talk to God on all kinds of occasions. Nothing is trivial or off the table—, if we’re alert, we can be in prayer pretty constantly. 19. Philippians 4:6–7 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. These are some of my favorite Bible verses about prayer because they address the heart. In every situation, we can ask God for help, find gratitude, and seek the powerful peace of God through Christ. 20. 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. The Apostle Paul seems to be hitting on a theme in his verses about prayer! We are to pray without ceasing, with gratitude. 21. Hebrews 4:15–16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. These Bible verses about prayer remind us that we are not talking to some distant power. Jesus, our “high priest,” became fully human and understands everything we go through. We can thus be confident going to God, who listens, understands, and helps us when in need. 22. James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. These Scriptures on prayer make it clear that it is something to be done in the community. When we pray with each other and for each other, we find God’s power and healing. 23. 1 Timothy 2:1–2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. In his instructions to a young pastor, the Apostle Paul says that we are to pray for everyone, especially those in power who may or may not honor God. These are challenging verses about prayer because they nudge us to look at the big picture and find hope in God’s kingdom when we pray. 24. 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. In one of the simplest Scriptures about prayer, the Apostle Peter says to cast all our cares on the one who cares for us. 25. Revelation 5:8 And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of God’s people. It’s appropriate to wrap up these Bible verses about prayer with this image of what prayer looks like to God. It says the prayers of His people are like incense to Him. Through our prayers, we worship Him and fill up His house with wonderful fragrance. Related Reading: How to Start Prayer Journaling (With 20 Prompts for Women!)

The reputation of the righteous leads to blessing, but the name of the wicked will rot. — Proverbs 10:7 | International Standard Version (ISV) The International Standard Version of the Holy Bible Copyright © 1995-2014 by ISV Foundation.

What does Proverbs 10:17 mean?

The person who listens to godly advice (Proverbs 9:9) gives themselves a better likelihood of success and longevity than those who ignore wisdom. Those who follow Christ's teachings can enjoy a truly meaningful life now (John 10:10) and eternal life beyond the grave (John 10:28).

The person who refuses to be corrected (Proverbs 9:7–8) and continues the wrong path through life sets a bad example. In many cases, others will be tempted to follow that pattern. For that reason, Scripture warns against becoming close with those who hate God and His truth (Proverbs 13:20). Though the truths contained in God's Word offer forgiveness and life (1 Corinthians 6:9–11), the people defined as "scoffers" (Proverbs 1:22) make a litany of excuses for rejecting that message. This comes in the form of false accusations of contradiction, misleading criticisms, rejection of biblical morality, or claims of irrelevance. Some simply reject the Bible because it exposes their sin and makes them uncomfortable (Ephesians 5:11–13; 2 Peter 1:19; Psalm 119:105).

Unfortunately, many self-labelled "experts" with little legitimate knowledge of the Bible ridicule it and substitute faulty human reasoning in its place. Seemingly educated, or not, such critics of the Bible lead others astray.

Context Summary

Proverbs 10:11–32 contrasts the righteous and the wicked, focusing on their different speech patterns, their different lifestyles, their different attitudes, and their different destinies. Verses 21 through 27 are especially focused on the different results which can be expected from pursuing godliness, versus pursuing sin.

Chapter Summary

This chapter begins 375 "proverbs," which are general-case lessons or observations. These wise remarks continue the discussion of wisdom and wickedness begun in chapters 1—9. Most of the verses in chapter 10 contain a sharp contrast, with the conjunction "but" separating the lines. Often, the subject changes from verse to verse. The contrasting subjects include sons, treasure, work ethic, reputation, relationships, success, and speech.

11/2/2023 DAB Chronological Transcription

Luke:15 - 19:48

Today is the second day of November, I'm Jill. Welcome to Daily Audio Bible Chronological, where we are walking through the word of God every day in chronological order until we get through the entire Bible In a year and we're well on our way and we're within the two-month countdown Of being to our one year goal. It's so great to be here with you, so great to be on this journey with you. And I hope you're having a fantastic day. Today we're reading the book of Luke, chapter 18, verse 15, and we'll be reading through chapter 19, verse 48. This week we are reading the English Standard version. Luke 18:15. 

Commentary

Let's refer to The God of Your Story today, to Talk about what happened. When Jesus ministry began, he left the Jordan River and traveled through the Judean wilderness on his way back to Galilee. And Luke's Gospel Today we found Jesus taking the same path in reverse. Jesus is making his way to Jerusalem for the final time before his arrest and the path LED through the ancient city of Jericho. A blind beggar had been sitting along the road when he heard the commotion surrounding Jesus. Upon inquiry, He realized that a healer was passing by. Obviously the blind man had no idea the weight on Jesus shoulders. No one really understood what was about to take place.The blind man began to yell. Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.The crowd shunned him, but he yelled even more to get above the noise. He was desperate to get Jesus attention despite the ridicule, and it worked. Jesus had the man brought to him in a beautiful exchange take place. What do you want me to do for you? Jesus asked. Lord, the blind man said. I want to see. And Jesus said, Alright, receive your sight. Your faith has healed you. The beautiful collaboration that took place on this dusty desert path outside of Jericho should affect us all on many levels. First, Jesus stopped.Jesus was on his way to a brutal death, and if we were on the same path with the same for knowledge, we would probably be more than just a little preoccupied. Second, Jesus invited the blind man to articulate his desire. And last, Jesus response to the men's healing wasn't self aggrandizing. He acknowledged the collaboration between the human and the divine, saying your faith has healed you. From this simple story, we see that God is not too preoccupied for us. He wants us to articulate our desires and share our hearts, and he intends to collaborate with us in our restoration. What makes you desperate enough to cry out, Jesus, son of David. Have mercy on me. She's listening.

Prayer

Father, thank you that you listen to us. Thank you that you are not too preoccupied. I I don't know how that can be but, There it is. We just saw in your word, That Jesus was not too preoccupied for a man, Who was desperate. Who knew his need. And you on your way to your death, Took the time for him. Thank you for such love. Thank you for such kindness. Thank you for utter compassion. And when we hear this, when we hear this story, when we hear these words and we are now aware, That you took the time, which means you will take the time. May we internalize The longing within us. May we examine that, To see if we are being as intentional, Making time, Spending time being with you. Articulating our need. Allowing you, The freedom to come. We love you. We thank you. We are thankful. We are grateful Today and every day. We pray this in the name of the Father and the Son, And the Holy Spirit, amen.

COMMENTARY:

Brandon Robbins version of Jesus is essentially the Total Depravity Gospel of Campus Crusade for Christ and the Pro-Life Fascism of Pat Robertson, the anitChrist of Christian Conservatism. His interruptions pretty standard solo scriptura in aspect. i

My version of Jesus originates in the process theology of the Liberation Gospel of Jesus, George Washington and the Army Protestant Chapel of 1962, which is securely Deist of the Anglican Churst post Cromwell. I prepared for and went to Vietnam on the basis of the Liberation Gospel. By and large, Campus Crusade for Christ was a draft haven during the battle of Vietnam, Like Cornelius and Jesus, was was under the authority of Yaweh, Queen of Battle while I was in the Army, It's what Duty, Honor, Country is all about. The Total Depravity Gospel is firmly grounded on the Total Depravity of Eve without mitigation of the cros and has an epistemological arc that extends directly from the 6ht Commandment to the Dobbs Decision regarding Roe v Wade, with the Salem witch trials a bench mark along the way.

Robbins interpretation of euangelion is typical of Christian apologetics based on the critical historic method of Post Modern Historic Deconstruction method of dialectical Marxism and the Jesus Seminar. This version assumes that John Mark is the author of the Gospel of Mark and was written no earlier than 72CW and that it, the Gospel of Mrkk, is derived from the theology and epistles of Paul.

Process theology assumes that Cornelius is the author of the Gospel of Mark and was written immediately after Peter's encounter with the household of Cornelius in Asts 10 and forwarded to Theophilus, his direct report in Rome, no later than 49 CE. The origin of euangelion is the original transmittal status of the intelligence report Pilate sent to Tiberius regarding Resurrection that was dispatched before Jesus had ascended at Pentecost, Euangelion is a top priority signals status that means, internally, "Eyes of the Emperor, First" It is like the message of Pheidippides to the king after the battle of Marathon "We won". Tiberius took the communication seriously and proposed to the Senate to enroll Jesus in the Roman Pentathlon, which the Senate rejected on the basis that Tiberius had not consulted with him.

The opening sentence of the Gospel of Mark refers to this initial message to Tiberius. That intelligence report is the point of departure for the narrative of the Gospel of Mark and specifically about Mark 15. The original text is reflected in the Gospel of Peter, which is an oral tradition version of the text of the message Cornelius conveyed to Peter off=stage in Acts 10.

The theological significance of the Gospel of Peter is the talking cross in the shared vision of the Roman soldiers guarding the tomb of Joseph of Arimatheal: it is the ratification of the unilateral covenant cutting ceremony between God and the centurions of the Roman legions and Praetorian Guards, in particular. Thie talking cross has an antecedent in the smoking pot of fire in the unilateral covenant cutting ceremony between God and Abram in Genesis 15 The numerology in the triangulation of the Gospel of Peter with Genesis 15 and Mark 15 divinely significant, especially within the historic context that the numbers of the chapters and verse of the whole bible didn't exist before the invention of the printing press in the 16th century, CE. This is literally the handiwork of the Holy Spirit.

Before Jesus says a word, Cornelius provides an apparatus in the word "immediately" that provides the contours of what has come to be called "Quelle" or source. If you consult a Greek concordance for εὐθὺς , you will see it occurs 51 times scattered throughout the Gospels and Ats. εὐθὺς is like foot note in modern scholarship and mean the pericope is either validated by material in the Roman intelligence archive that was started when Jesus appeared above the Roman military horizon and took command of John the Baptist's sphere of influence, which is described geographically in Mark 3:7…

All the material of Quelle was collected throug the Roman spy network before Resurrection in particular, and before He was remanded to Roman chain of custody in Mark 15:1. The only exception is Act 10:16, Peter's testimony to Cornelius in Ats 10 in 50 CE and after Tiberius had died. The significance of Mark 1:14 is that the Romans lost interest in John the Baptist when Jesus took command of the Repentance demographic of John the Baptist. The Romans has a complete book on John the Baptist before Jesus showed up. The significance is that the Romans began recording the words of Jesus from the first moment He appeared.

And, when Cornelius sent thie Gospel of Mark to Rome, he expected it to be taken as literally as Presidential Daily Briefing prepared by the CIA. The Romans began putting Quelle together before they had any idea what it would lead to.

The practical understanding of Mark 1:1 is : this is all the shit that happened before the Jews brought Jesus to us and the events of the Gospel of Peter in the euangelion.

RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL

GET FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT

WEDNESDAY, 28TH JUNE 2023

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness...And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all (Acts 4:31-33).

PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

The Scriptures give a vivid account of an extraordinary prayer meeting that the members of the early Church had following the threats from the religious council. It records that as they prayed, the entire building where they were gathered shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the Word of God with boldness.

Notice the resultant effect of being filled with the Holy Spirit: they went forth and preached the Word of God with boldness—the very thing they had been threatened to desist from or face dire consequences. They had already received the Holy Spirit in Acts 2:1-4. But in Chapter 4, they were filled again with that same Holy Spirit whom they had earlier received.

The Bible charges us, “...be not drunk with wine wherein is excess; but be filled with the spirit.” The International Standard Version says, “Keep on being filled with the Spirit,” speaking to yourself in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:18-20). When you’re filled with the Spirit, you’re not timid or intimidated; you preach the Gospel with boldness and power.

Perhaps you’ve been desiring to preach the Gospel to the people you work with, but it seems you’ve been shy or afraid. Get filled with the Holy Spirit! Pray in tongues until you’re supercharged—speaking to yourself in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.

Soon enough, you won’t need to be prompted, instructed or encouraged by anyone to witness to those around you. Jesus said, “He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers (gushers) of living water (John 7:38). You won’t have to force it out; there’ll be an overflow, and the Word will issue forth from your lips with power. Hallelujah!

               CONFESSION

I’m an effective witness and custodian of the Gospel—God’s saving power that unveils His righteousness, eternal life, and divine destiny for all mankind. I’m His light in a dark world, called to bring men out of sin and bondage into righteousness and the glorious liberty of the sons of God. I’m fulfilling my calling. Amen.

FURTHER STUDY: Acts 1:8 AMPC But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.

Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

1 Corinthians 2:4 And my speech and my preaching [was] not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:
