ACTS II
Philip went down to the city of Samaria and preached Christ to them. And multitudes heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did. (Acts 8:5-8)
I have previously in ACTS I gone into great detail to show that Jesus began to do and teach in the Gospels and in the rest of the New Testament He continued to do and teach: do in Acts and teach in the epistles. I want to now show some of those things the believers did. Keep in mind that it is believers who continued and are to continue the acts of Jesus, not just the apostles. That’s why the extra-dispensational teaching that says these things died with the apostles is, on its very face, a serious error.
I want God to ACT. I want God to DO something… in my life, in your life, in every service, and even daily. Well, what sort of things would God do if He did do something? According to Jesus, silly little things like save you from your sins, save you from yourself, from this present evil world, and from hell. He will never harm you; He will only do you good. He does things like heal the sick, deliver us from addictions and demon oppression, give us eternal purpose and life, equip us to help others, and give us His love, His joy, and His peace. And oh yes… the forgiveness of all our sins.
I want God to speak to us, because His voice comes with power to change things for the better. All God’s acts are voice-activated and since Genesis chapter one He has used the voice of humans to do His work. So, “Speak, Lord. Save, Lord. Heal, Lord. Help, Lord. Do it now. And we will give you all the praise, in Jesus’ name.”
