Jesus said in Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." As He ministered to the great multitudes of people and saw their many needs, he told his followers in Mt 28:19-20, "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you, and surely I am with you always, even to the end of the world."
As followers of Jesus Christ, let's be about our Father's business today; sharing His Word, His Hope, and His Loving Grace to all we meet. His saving grace continues today; His healing virtue still flows to all who believe! Our God is no respecter of persons (Acts 10:34) and what He did in the past for one person, He will do the same for you and me. But we must believe so we can receive; and before we can believe, we must be able to hear the Word. So there must be workers in the fields sharing the Word for people to hear, to believe, and to receive!
God is the Source of all knowledge, all wisdom, and all power needed for us to act on His Word. Jesus tells His followers in Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Think about this wonder-working power Jesus instructed His disciples to wait on. Why? Because Holy Spirit is the power that strengthens us, that empowers us, that works within us; invigorating our senses, sharpening our skills, and empowering us with boldness to proclaim the Gospel unto the uttermost parts of the earth!
Holy Spirit empowered Paul to boldly declare in Philippians 4:13, "I can do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me!" And likewise, with our minds stayed on Jesus having Holy Spirit within, we too can proclaim "Nothing Is Impossible" in Jesus' name! The world is waiting to see and to hear Jesus' followers declare His divine love while sharing the Hope they have found so they too can be delivered and set free from all bondage! How 'bout it? You ready to go share Jesus with the world today?
Have a wonderfully blessed day, dear friend. God loves you and so do I~~~
