Hello, again, I'm Arlen Yoder from the Soulwinnersr.us website. Remember—the angels in heaven rejoice when a loved one or friend gives their heart to Jesus.
The title of my post today is “CAN ACTS-LIKE ACTS HAPPEN AGAIN IN TODAY’S WORLD?” It’s about the actions of Acts in the Bible, and whether some form of those same actions can occur in today’s world.
I was listening to the audible version of Acts this morning. If you ever get the chance to ‘listen’ to the Bible, I heartily encourage you to do so. I think it will open your eyes, at least a little, and enhance the stories told there.
I was amazed by how focused the men and women were on God—and on each other in the book of Acts. How did they keep that focus? I think Jesus explained it in John 7:38. He said, “The one who believes in me (Jesus), as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.” In that verse, Jesus referenced ‘one’ person who has ‘streams of living water (or God’s Holy Spirit) flow from deep within him’. Just imagine if many people gathered together, with the same streams of living water (or God’s Holy Spirit) flowing collectively from deep within them. It would be inevitable that God would act in an exponential way—just like in the book of Acts.
So, what can be done in today’s world to bring about the same type of ‘acts’? I think it’s clear that we need the following:
- We need to be made aware of those same ‘streams of living water flowing from deep within’ each of us. I think that we’re semi-aware of it, but not deeply aware of it.
- Then we need to be educated about the great amount of power of God’s Holy Spirit flowing within each of us.
- Then we need to be educated on the exponential greatness of the power of God’s Holy Spirit flowing within a large group of believers who are bonded together.
- Lastly, we need to pray, sometimes in tongues just like they did in Acts, for God to manifest this power in, through, and around us.
See you next time.
