I have been studying the book of Acts all week. I've read it before but, the deeper I study it the more God reveals to me. I realize that the whole book is about DOING. So many times in our christian lives we are asked to do something and we just say "I'll pray about it." Why do we feel we have to go "pray about it?" We know what God wants. He told us in the gospels and again through the apostles in acts. Jesus says GO!
Matthew 28:18-20
Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Jesus said GO! So...What are we waiting for? If God has given you his Holy Spirit, and also his power through you, then what do we have to fear? Stephen was stoned to death for his faith. Paul was beaten many times and then finally killed for his faith. We are afraid to talk to someone about Jesus because they may make fun of us. We should praise God to be persecuted for his sake.
Let's go into all the world and speak the Good News, or at least go next door. Every day, when we wake up we should think "How can I advance the Kingdom of God today!" Live your life as though Jesus is living through you, because he is.
