And when they had
prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were
all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Act4:31
God by definition is
supernatural. When He works it is above and beyond the natural order of things.
The ground shook indicating He was moving. It was for the purpose of filling
these believers so that they would speak boldly. The Holy Spirits baptism gives
us power to witness. This too is supernatural. Not because of the words but
because the effect it has on other people.
My college basketball team had
some terrible losing seasons. Bad like 1-26, average game we lost by 38.5
points, that bad. But when I was a senior we won our league and were 15-10, best
in school history. The reason was a guy named John Anderson (plus a great
coach), John averaged 26 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. When he
was on the court we knew we could compete with anyone. He was a great team
mate. I went from losing to winning because of him. Likewise the Holy Spirit is
your teammate. He makes you a winner. You now speak with Him assisting.
God wants to shake your heart.
He wants to fill you so that you will speak His word. It started with prayer
and being with other believers as it does with us. Get to your churches midweek
prayer. Go deep in your relationships with others by speaking about the
eternal. Dare to be used by God.
AMEN!!
