ACTS 2:4a,41 says, “And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.”
As I prepare to start another semester of our Being a Success class, I am again reading through Acts 1 & 2. O how I long to see God move like that again. It is one thing to read about mighty moves of God, and another to actually be a part of one. God came down in a powerful way and filled those believers so that they, through signs, wonders, and the preaching of the gospel, could minister the truth of Jesus to a lost and dying world.
On that special day, 3,000 people were born into the kingdom. Now this was no generic count or a number that was “Evangelistically speaking”. There were literally thousands saved, and God was doing the counting. What a day that would have been. So many times I have wished that I was there. Can God still move like that today?
I say with confidence, Yes He can! I refuse to live an entire lifetime here on this earth without seeing God move in an Acts 2 way. If this is ever going to happen it will be because God will have found a group of Christians who are willing to do as those early believers did. We must pray for God’s promise, we must work to stay united, and we must continue to boldly preach the gospel without apology. Are you willing to pay the price for a mighty move of God?
Lord, I am begging for you to move again in our midst. Please show us the way to your power and enable us to follow. We are looking for you to move again. Amen!
