Spirit Outpouring

Therefore let the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah!
When they heard this, they came under deep conviction and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles: "brothers, what must we do?
"Repent, " Peter said to them, "and be baptised, each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children, and for all who are far off, as many as The Lord God will call." Acts 2:36-39

The manifestation of the Holy Spirit, along with the preaching of the word brought conviction of sin and as a result 3,000 were baptised that day. A good result! A few became a large number who in turn went out and took the gospel to the known world.

I pray for an outpouring of the Spirit of God, the capturing of hearts and minds for Christ.

This past week we saw the fiercest typhoon ever recorded strike the Philippine and the result was, so far, a loss of 10,000 lives.

If a natural disaster can claim 10,000 lives what can an outpouring of the Holy Spirit do? The largest I have seen are in Africa with Reinhard Bonke. Millions come to Christ. Why in Africa? They are spiritual and they are hungry.

I pray for my country, that hard hearts will melt with an outpouring of the Spirit of God. I pray for the Spirit Hour to come and break the chains. Amen!

The outpouring starts with me. I must catch the heart of God and decide I am a Christian and follow Christ's example, pray! And speak the truth! 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 ...
