After this prayer, the building where they were meeting showed and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and boldly preach God’s message.
Daily Scripture reading of the day
Ephesians 3:14 — 21
When I think of the wisdom and scope of his plan I fall down on my knees and prayed to the father of all the great family of God — some of them are ready and have been in some down here on earth — that out of his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you the mighty inner strengthening of his Holy Spirit. And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s children should, how long why how deep, and how high is love really is; and to experience this love yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it were fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God himself.
No glory be to God who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare or pass or even dream of — infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes. May he be given glory for ever and ever the endless ages because of his master plan of salvation of the Church through Jesus Christ.
Sam’s response
The following responses from Smith Wigglesworth’s daily devotional…” is a necessity for everyone of us to be filled with God. It is not sufficient to just have a type should be filled with
just the desire. Only one thing will meet the needs of the people, and that is for you to be immersed in the life of God. This means that God takes you and fills you with his spirit until you live right in God. He does this so that whether you eat or drink or whatever you do all to the glory of God(one Corinthian 10; 31) in that place you will find that all your strength and all your mind and all your soul are filled with the zeal, not only for worship, but also for proclamation. This proclamation is accomplished by all the power of God, which must move Satanic power and disturb the world.
The reason the world is not seen Jesus is that Christian people are not filled with Jesus. They are satisfied with attending meetings weekly, reading the Bible occasionally, and pray and sometimes.
Beloved, if God lays hold of you by the Spirit, you will find that there is an end of everything in the beginning and God. Your whole body will become seasoned with a divine likeness of God. He will not only begin to use you, but also take you in hand, so you might be a vessel for honor parentheses second Timothy 2:21). Our lives are not to be live for ourselves, for if we live for ourselves we will die (Romans 8:13); but if by the spirit we put to death the deeds of the body, we will live. He lives in the spirit is subject to the powers of God, but he who lives for himself will die. The man who lives in his spirit lives a life of freedom, joy, blessing, and service — a life that brings blessings others God wants us to see that we must live in the spirit.
Jesus came to bring back to us what was fortified in the garden.I believe what Smith Wigglesworth is saying above is directly in a line with what we are facing the church today. Our faith was not designed to be stagnant or just a knowledge filled process. It is designed to become more and more like Christ in all we do. This requires a longing and desire to know God and to do his will every day of our lives. It is a lock that is focused on growing and developing a relationship with God, and his back continues growing and developing relationship with others.
Our pastor at our church has been talking a lot about getting involved with the others. For the word of God to have an impact on others, we must be willing to make some sacrifices. We must be willing to get involved in other people’s lives.
The speed at which life is lived at the day in the instantaneous ability to communicate continues to perpetuate this speed. It is easy to miss God at work in your life when you’re going so fast that you miss the daily work that he is called the two which is people around you that you can inpact I just willing to slow down and take a look, and be willing to step in and get involved with a sincere interest in helping others.
God gave us the zeal and hunger for your word daily. For more a view into our hearts into our minds into her soul and let us be filled with the Holy Spirit constantly. Help us to recognize opportunities before us where we can minister to others in the encouragement in an agent of hope in a world where people seem to have lost it. Lord, it appears the needs of others are increasing rapidly, and fear seems to perpetuate throughout our society. I know when were trusting Christ, there is no fear. Fear and faith are opposites. So Lord let me walk for filled with faith hope, assurance, strength, boldness, and use me daily for your will in your plan.
