Give Him to the Lost

So he turned to them, expecting to get something from them. But Peter said, "I don't have silver or gold, but what I have, I give to you: in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk! Then, taking him by the right hand he raised him up, and at once his feet and ankles became strong. Acts 3:5-7

Peter and John gave what was mighty within them, the Spirit of God. This caused attention from those around and paved the way for the preaching of the gospel and resulted in souls saved.

The miracles are the Holy Spirits forrunners. He is here to draw all men to Christ so that they might receive eternal life. We are here to work alongside this beautiful being. Peter and John knew it well.

Today what do you have? Give what you have. What is the Holy Spirit doing in your life? Where has He been using you?

If your gifting is in mercy, show mercy, if it is in giving give generously, if it is in miracles then release the miracles for the lost, if it is healing then heal the sick. Don't sit on your hands, step out and above all pray.

All Christians can pray. So many are hurting, so many need answers, so many need salvation. Pray and obey. Act out your faith, do what you are here to do and shine your light, flavour the world, be the solution, be he answer, be the love, be the provider of all good things.

I am called to give and I cannot withhold in my own effort to build my own little kingdom. God is better at the provision, all I have to do is obey.

Turn off the entertainer and get into your closet and pray, then you will be empowered by God and used mightily by Him. Get his heart for the lost and use your gift for their sakes. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
