2016 – Acts 8
Power,
Compassion And Might!
Please join with us sharing God’s Word
daily. We will spend about fifteen minutes a day praying and reading every
word in God’s Word in approximately three years.
“[ Keep in Step with the Spirit ] But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you
will not gratify the desires of the flesh.” Galatians 5:16, English Standard Version (ESV)
.
Dear
Saints,
Thank you for
joining us, as we prayerfully continue our Feast in Acts Chapter 8; “Saul persecutes the church. (1-4) Philip's
success at Samaria. Simon the sorcerer baptized. (5-13) The
hypocrisy of Simon detected. (14-25) Philip
and the Ethiopian. (26-40)”
- Matthew Henry
Concise.
Trying
to drive them from the Lord and their purpose, Saul persecutes the church. In
spite of the persecution the good news spreads, Philip is successful at
Samaria. Simon the sorcerer heard the good news and he believed was baptized.
The lust for power turned Simon away from the path of righteousness. Philip
meets and baptizes the Ethiopian. ”34 And the eunuch said to
Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or
about someone else? ”35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this
Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going
along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is
water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 38 And he commanded the chariot
to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and
he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the
Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way
rejoicing. 40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he
preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.”
Acts 8:34-40, ESV. Take
a look at our lives and the power we hold onto. If some person believes and
wants to be baptized, even if the water is available, we have them make an
appointment. Do you think this is what Jesus had in mind when he said; “Go
therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit..!
“Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me
shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.”
John
6:35, ESV. We have need to read this scripture, the Word of God. When we
truly believe, then we can share Jesus with the same power that Philip did.
Then truly we will be keeping the first thing first, that is salvation through our
Lord Jesus Christ. Being filled with the power, compassion and might of the
Holy Spirit, we can share Jesus throughout this Earth.
If the Lord is willing I’ll send and post
the Feast again tomorrow
You’ll find the
praise and prayer list at; admenu.com/prayer.html. Prayer request or Praise reports can be
sent to brother Mike at; mike@admenu.com
Don’t get
caught up in “religion”, it is about a relationship. Our salvation depends
completely on God! We are the Saints that Jesus sacrificed his life to pay in
full for our sin, when we repent and accept Jesus. He will come to get every
Saint; “36 “But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels
of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36, ESV. We are
building our relationship with Jesus right now, do not wait while you try to
change anything. Click this link for
