I have 3 beautiful daughters
Addie, my youngest
is a lot like me
from the moment she was born she looks like me has my personality
my eyes, my DNA,
there is a part of me that will be with her
wherever she goes. In the first chapter Acts the disciples of Jesus awaiting
for something.
See, Jesus had promised them the Spirit of the living God would come UPON them.
Jesus said it this way, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you..."
It wasn't to say they weren't saved or didn't have the spirit of God in them,
but there was more that God wanted to do...
something that God could only do
when His spirt came to rest ON them.
Jesus said it this way, "Stay in the city until you are clothed with
power from on high" As if to explain, "There are certain things you will only
be able to do
when my spirit rests UPON you,
when you are wrapped up in it,when it surrounds you like clothing.
Addie is amazing,
she can so many things on her own,
but there are some things she will not be able to do without my direct help.
See, when I come alongside her, she is able to do accomplish that which would otherwise be impossible
for her to do on her own.
"Did you do it?" "Yes!"
In the second chapter of Acts
the Holy Spirit comes to rest UPON
the disciples.
it's written, they spoke in new tongues, signs, wonders and miracles followed.
God directly intervenes,
His Spirit comes UPON us and
clothes us with HIS power, so that we can do what would otherwise be impossible on our own.
