Acts 2:38-39
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Good morning, one and all!
We have been experiencing great revival services in Highlands, TX! Four received the Holy Ghost this past Sunday night, and three more received it last night. Awesome! Wow! Wonderful! The presence of God has been so strong and powerful. As I watched a mother (and grandmother) pray with a child last night, I remembered Acts 2:39 where the Apostle Peter told the first church that the "promise" was not only to the individual but "to your children"; and even beyond that "to all that are afar off"..... whoever "the Lord our God shall call."
The promise was told by Jesus in Luke 24:49 -
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
Jesus promised that the Comforter, or the Holy Ghost, would come to the believers. Jesus promised and it came to pass. And, the promise still continues even in 2015! What happened on the day of Pentecost many years ago continues to happen. I'm so glad to be a part of revival in this day. I love watching people receive the Holy Ghost for the first time, because I get a refilling watching them!
This chorus has been sung several times since we've been here at First Apostolic Church:
It's for me
It's for you
For your children
And their children, too
It does something that nothing else can do
In Acts the second chapter you can read it for yourself
You don't have to ask anybody else
About the Holy Ghost that Jesus is giving away!
My soul has been greatly encouraged over the past few weeks as I've watched the effect of the gospel on people. When it is preached, it must be believed and then obeyed. When the gospel is obeyed, lives are changed! God is good all the time. His promises are forever!!
Have a Terrific Tuesday and, Lord willing, we'll meet again tomorrow for another spoonful.....
