Topic: Evangelism by FIRE
Acts 2:14 KJV
But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
From our text today we can see Apostle Peter standing up boldly to speak to the multitude.
This was the same Peter who denied Jesus three time consecutively.
"Matthew 26:69-70 KJV
Now Peter sat without in the palace: and a damsel came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee. [70] But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest."
How many times have you denied Jesus, in your office or institution etc.
You may wonder how?
What about the little alcohol you took because you don't want to disregard or disappoint your boss? Or you just wanted to "feel among"
What of the way you changed your appearance so people won't know you're a Christian?
This is just because something is missing.
Jesus knew this, so he warned;
"Luke 24:49 KJV
And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."
When the time was fulfilled, the presence of the Holy Spirit made the difference in Peter and his colleagues.
Peter stood and spoke by the power of the Holy Ghost and the outcome was outstanding (3000 souls at once).
"Acts 2:40-41 KJV
And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. [41] Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."
The power of the Holy Ghost enables Evangelism by FIRE, that people couldn't resist. Boldness and courage replaced fear and timidity and the word of God grew mightily.
Prepare your life for that kind of turnaround.
Prayers: Oh Lord, I receive the Holy Ghost empowerment, for the mighty revival.
Remain blessed.
