Acts 8: 26-40
Take purpose for your life from the Holy Spirit.
Evangelism is a spirit powered mission, not a mission led by our OWN effors.
Share the gospel one person at a time. God is also preparing people to receive Christ
God has a plan for you. He will take you to unexpected places. As we follow the Lord we will still go through hardship and suffering. We aren't promised an easy life. We are promised God's glory will be used through our life when we are surrendered.
Acts 1: 8
Phillip preached and people were healed, miracles happened, and people were filled with joy. The spirit doesn't lead us to platforms, He leads us to people.
We should ask ourselves: How can I serve better this week? How can I pray for others more?
We need to be surrendered enough to say "Where ever He leads me I WILL go".
God SEES more so we must trust him when he calls us even to the desert. Even when we don't get what we want.
Don't miss the detours of life or we will miss the divine appointment.
God works in the "right now" moments of life.
Acts 8: 27-30
Waiting is coupled with faithfulness. God is FAITHFUL ALWAYS so we must wait for him to work things out.
We HAVE to be obedient ad listen to the spirit. Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. Stay in sync witht he Holy Spirit. Pray consistantly. Read the bible. Lead people to the Lord.
Galatians 5:25
Acts 8: 31-35
Isaiah 53
He didn't know the scripture but he still led him to the Savior.
Spiritled Evangelism always leads to Jesus.
We've all been lost to sin and Jesus broke our strongholds.
John 16: 13-14
Acts 8: 36-40
The Lord does Miracles we can't explain.
If we listen to the Holy Spirit we should be fruitful. We need to ask ourselves: Are we producing fruit?
Would you leave the crowd for the one? Are we sensitive to the Holy Spirit?
Don't focus on all that is wrong with us, focus on all that is right with God.
Do you want to be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit? Here are some practial ways how to:
*Repent for only listening to ourselves and doing only our will
*Fully surrender to God
*Do we only ask for things for OUR glory and not God's glory?
Holy Spirit gives us power to witness.
