Bible Verse of The Day – 1-27-26

Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Today we are going to talk about the power of the Holy Spirit referred to in this verse, and what He will do through us.

His power will give us what we need to be witnesses for Christ!

Boldness and ability will be there to share the gospel, whether by words or deeds.

We will have His strength to overcome temptations in our daily lives, and to reflect a Christlike character.

Jesus asked the Father to send Him for us. He will be with us forever; we will not be on our own.

John 14:16 (NKJV) 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever—

He will help us understand scripture and apply it to our own lives.

We will walk in spiritual gifts, healing, prophecy, and speaking in tongues.

The power of the Holy Spirit is God Himself moving through us.

He is our Helper, that we may accomplish a lifestyle allowing us to be the salt and light of the world.

Matthew 5:13-16 (NKJV) 13 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

The Holy Spirit gives us God-inspired power to shine brightly, and let them see our good deeds, that they will glorify our Father!

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-5-23

Acts 8:14-16 (NKJV) 14 Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, 15 who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. 16 For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

When the apostles heard that the Samaritans became Christians, they sent Peter and John to them. Why? Because as of yet He, the Holy Spirit “had fallen upon none of them”.

They had not yet received the baptism of the Holy Spirit; they were saved and were baptized with water.

Acts 8:12 (NKJV) 12 But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized.

It’s important that we notice there are two different, separate experiences. Water baptism, which the Samaritans had already experienced before Peter and John arrived, and then after they arrived, the baptism or “falling upon the believers” of the Holy Spirit, which was a whole other experience.

The falling upon of the Holy Spirit came after the apostles arrived and laid hands on them, not at the time that they initially believed.

Acts 8:17 (NKJV) 17 Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

The Samaritans received the Holy Spirit, and Simon watched it take place. He saw that there was power imparted into the new believers as the Holy Spirit fell upon them and he offered the apostles money if they would do the same for him.

He wanted it so he could use it for his own gain.

Acts 8:18 (NKJV) 18 And when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Spirit was given, he offered them money…

Well, we all know we can’t buy God’s gifts. But if we have a sincere heart to do the right thing, He will give to us freely.

It is the baptism of the Holy Spirit by which we receive the power to work out our Salvation with fear and trembling.

It is the power of the Holy Spirit “falling upon” us that helps us live as a believer in this world we live in today.

We need Him and His help each day, and without Him we will be powerless to carry out anything that He has asked us to do.

Philippians 2:12 (NKJV) 12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;

Ask Him to fall upon us today and guide our steps. Be strong in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-14-22

Acts 11:16 (NKJV) 16 Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how He said, ‘John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’

After we repent, accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, and are baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of our sins, we will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

For this is the promise to us, and to all that the Lord our God will call.

Acts 2:38 (NKJV) 38 Then Peter said to them, “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirt is our gift. He bears witness to the reality of the exaltation of Jesus and is given to those who believe, have faith and obey Him.

The most important thing we can learn is to surrender to Him.

There will be times when our flesh does not understand fully what the Holy Spirit may be impressing on us to do. It’s in those moments that we need to trust Him and not try to follow our intellect.

Why? Because our intellect doesn’t understand the things of the Spirit.

The Holy Spirit will always line up with God’s word. He will never have us do something that goes against the Word of God.

Walking in the gift of the Holy Spirit will enable us to pray in tongues, as the Spirit gives utterance and as we open our mouth by faith and let it come out.

Acts 2:4 (NKJV) 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Step out in faith. Obey the Holy Spirit. And as we do this, He will become more active in our lives.

Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-8-22

Luke 4:1 (NKJV) 1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness…

Jesus was led into the wilderness. There He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. In Luke 4:2, it says, afterwards He was hungry.

The devil came to Him right after and said, “if You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread”.

What a temptation! After not eating for 40 days, bread would taste mighty good, wouldn’t it?

But Jesus was onto him, through the help of the Holy Spirit. And His reply was that of the Son of God, a Man filled with the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

The devil came to Him two other times and tempted Him while in the wilderness. And each time Jesus rebuked his offer, and replying with the Word of God.

Praise You, Lord, for Your focus and strength to stay on track.

If Jesus, the Son of the Mighty God, needed the Holy Spirit to fill Him and work through Him, we most definitely need Him moving and helping us daily.

We all need to stop trying to be the hero on this journey of life as a believer. We don’t help God. He helps us.

We aren’t doing anything for Him in and of ourselves. His word says that without His help, we can do nothing.

John 15:5 (NKJV) 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.

This may be a hard thing for some people to swallow. But so many have it backwards; we need God in order to win battles, to move mountains and to lead people to Christ. He sent us a Helper because He knew we would need Him.

The devil will tempt us daily, hourly, minute by minute. We must be strong enough to resist Him and do just that.

James 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

Be filled with our Helper, the Holy Spirit, just as Jesus was filled.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-4-18

Matthew 16:15-16 (NKJV) 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

He was the Christ, the Son of the living God! He lived among man and He was perfect. He was pure. He was righteous and miraculous in His life here!

The work that was done through Jesus Christ was done solely by the power of the Holy Spirit.

John 1:32 (NKJV) 32 And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

The Holy Spirit remained upon Jesus throughout His work here on this earth.

It is impossible for any man or woman to minister, in the way God has intended for us, without the anointing of the Holy Spirit. And it is impossible to live the life God has intended for us individually without the Holy Spirit moving through us.

John 14:26 (NKJV) 26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

We need our Helper. We need to be taught, prompted and reminded constantly throughout our day of the things we need to hear, do and say.

Some of us have been trying so hard to get things right. Our hearts are willing, but we keep failing because we lack what it will take to get it done. It takes the Holy Spirit.

Today, ask Him to come and help us in our decisions, in our trials, in our raising and training up of our children, in our ministry and in our everyday walk.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-22-16

Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Jesus is speaking to the disciples in this verse. They needed power to do what He asked them to do. He’s telling them that they cannot do it on their own, or by intellect. They needed Holy Spirit power; power from on High.

So what makes us think we can do these same kinds of things without the help of the Holy Spirit?

This is why we find ourselves giving up, not completing what we started. We find ourselves tired, beaten down, walked on, overworked, and simply irritated and exhausted.

How will we touch the lives of those who need Christ like this?

Jesus told them they would receive POWER. We also need this power, strength, and guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We, His children, His body, every person, every denomination and every people group need the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to fall on us, so we may do the things God asks us to do.

Cry out to God for the filling of the Holy Spirit today that we too may be full of strength and power to be all that He wants us to be, to do the work that He has called us to do unto the ends of the earth.

Acts 2:4 (NKJV) 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Dear God in Heaven,
We come to You and ask for your filling of the Holy Spirit that you promised us.  Come and fill us and help us walk this walk. We can’t do it on our own and forgive us for trying. Empower us with your Spirit, our Helper. We receive Him today In the name of Jesus Christ.

Let Him fill us today. He is faithful! Amen.
