REFUEL AND RE-FIRE
Acts 4:23-24 & 29 (GNB)
As soon as Peter and John were set free, they returned to their group and told them what the chief priests and the elders had said. When the believers heard it, they all joined together in prayer to God:…*And now, Lord, take notice of the threats they have made, and allow us, your servants, to speak your message with all boldness.
Things the devil tries to use to discourage us from being steadfast and consistent are our challenges, trials or persecutions.
After the healing of the lame man by the beautiful gate, Peter and John began to preach about Jesus and the Pharisees and Sadducees came to arrest and imprison them. They were angry with them and before releasing them, they threatened them to stop preaching about Jesus. Instead of being discouraged by this threat, they went back to their company of believers and they prayed for boldness to keep preaching Christ. Two verses following our text above says, “When they finished praying, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God’s message with boldness,” (Acts 4:31, GNB). They were re-fired.
This is how God wants you and me to address every situation that tries to discourage or drain us from moving forward and fulfilling His will and purpose for our lives. Go to God and talk to Him about the situation. Even if you made a mistake, don’t stay down and stop being overwhelmed. Get back in line. God will strengthen you with might by His Spirit in your inner man, (Eph.3:16). Right now, receive the supply and strength of the Spirit to rise up and keep doing exploits.
Action Point:
Thank God for the mighty strength and supply of His Spirit available to you. Pray about any issue you are facing right now.
