From a Friend in Christ:
“God’s Word shares with you that some time after receiving the Holy Spirit, Peter and John had gone together to the temple to pray. A man lame from birth was at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful. Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give to you: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them – walking, leaping, and praising God! All the people around were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him. Peter and John spoke to them and many who heard the Word believed, about five thousand. Of course, this did not go well with the priests, leaders, and Sadducees, who put them in custody.
The next day Peter and John were brought before the Sanhedrin, their rulers, elders, and scribes, as well as Annas the high priest, Calaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, spoke boldly in front of them and they did not like what he said about them who had crucified Jesus Christ, whom God raised from the dead. They commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the Name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, “”Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”
When your Heavenly Father sends His Holy Spirit to you, you will personally see and hear His Presence. His Light can not be hidden with His Holy Spirit Stirring! God wants you to know Him intimately, to give your doubts and fears to Him, to Trust Him in ALL you do, think and say, to His Glory and Honor. He wants you to accept His Only Son, Jesus Christ in your heart that you may also know His Love and Peace, being Born Again in Spirit to Awaken His Spirit in you, given to you before birth. When you are in Him and He in you, you will grow in His Presence and continue to see and hear more and more! Know that this amplifies your earthly senses through Spiritual Senses granted to you through your Father. His Healing Power and Touch, Amazing Grace and Mercy, Strength and Courage, Comfort, Love, Joy and Peace, will become you because He IS you! Does this mean no more pain and sorrow? No, moments on earth are still in the midst of sin, but they can be also in the midst of His Joy and Peace, that only He can give! When He needs you Home more than He needs you on earth, and He knows you, your pain and sorrow, blemishes, all earthly things will disappear.
My thoughts and prayers are that you will always accept your Father’s Invitation to know Him better. That you will see and hear His Presence in your life and will boldly speak and help His Children on their path towards Him. That you know God growing in you and you in Him, now and forever. In Jesus’ Name. Thy Will be done. Amen. Peace.“
