Acts 1:6-8(NKJV)
6Therefore, when they had come together,
they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to
Israel?”
7And He said to them, “It is not for
you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own
authority.
8But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and
you shall be £witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the
end of the earth.”
Do you have the Holy
spirit? If so, then here is what those
of us that have the Holy Spirit are called to do. Pretty simple isn't it?
Love it when God
keeps it simple. Looks like 4 main
things to me. How hard is it to do four
things? What are they? Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. Love God with all your heart. Love your neighbor as yourself, and witness
about Jesus locally, regionally, and indeed around the world.
Notice that it
starts with accepting Jesus. Have you
done that yet? If not why not ask Jesus
to come into your life right now. Just
close your eyes and pray something like this.
"Dear Jesus, I don't get all of this but what I do get is that I
somehow need you in my life. Please come
into my life and guide me through the rest of this stuff. Thank you Jesus. Amen."
Once you have Jesus
and through Jesus you receive the Holy Spirit, He will indeed guide you. And one of the biggest areas that He promises
to guide us in is witnessing about Him.
So as we go forth to fulfill our marching orders just let the Holy
Spirit be your guide as you witness about Jesus in all you do!
You make it seem so simple. Really, it is a simple charge- to follow these 4 things. In life, we let other things get in the way of following God's calling for us. It is our own fault if we think the task is difficult. We need to refocus and K.I.S.S (keep it simple stupid)! Thanks Dad!
