Bible Verse of The Day – 9-2-25

Acts 4:32 (NKJV) 32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

What a beautiful way to live.

Their hearts had to truly have been changed. This is evident work of the Holy Spirit.

When He moves, we surrender it all. We don’t look at anything as being ours, or that we own it. We go from holding tightly to everything, to “we’re all yours, Lord”.

How many of us today are holding on to stuff like it’s ours?

When the Holy Spirit comes upon us, we will definitely feel different about the things we possess.

When material and worldly things get out of our way, we hear better. We obey more quickly, and we are ready to move forward a little easier. Less distractions and nothing pulling on us.

We are more free to listen and hear what His voice is saying, and we are quick to obey Him.

They were in One accord!

Many years ago, we were visiting a couple when the man decided to get up and go into the kitchen.

He came back a few minutes later with a basin full of water, knelt down at our feet, and began to wash them.

As he did this, he began to speak these words, “and when you become pastors…”.

We lost it, and we began to cry as he continued to speak words of God over us.

We surrendered at that moment, tears running down our faces, not knowing the timing, the place, or even the how.

We surrendered in our hearts and became one with God.

Everything about us became His.

What was our hearts cry? “Let it be Lord, according to Your will.”

This is what God does with us when we wholly surrender to Him.

He changes our hearts. He changes our thoughts. He changes our actions.

He changes each one of us, from the inside, out.

We must empty ourselves before He can fill us.

And there we will sit, empty, yet filled. Filled with a “One heart and One soul” attitude, and a heart of gratitude toward God!

He is worthy!
