Scripture:
Acts 5:28 "you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him, and you want to make us responsible for his death!"
Observation:
This passage takes place apparently a very short time after Jesus had ascended to heaven and the Holy Spirit had been poured out in the upper room. After the outpouring, signs, wonders and miracles began to happen wherever the disciples of Jesus went. They were the talk of the town. When you get to Acts 5, the high priest and religious leaders have them in custody and we hear the words "you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching about him".
Application:
Wouldn't it be incredible to have the leaders of Ashburn, VA. come to the body of Christ and say, "you have filled Ashburn with your teaching about Jesus!" The early church had an amazing start. This 120 people that were in the upper room had been so touched by God's power that quickly the entire city knew about them and about Jesus. We are living in the last days and we need to speed up our witnessing and bringing people to Christ. May they accuse us of filling our city with Jesus teaching.
Prayer:
Father, do it again! "Stretch out Your hand with healing power; may miraculous signs an wonders be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus." may the earth be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord. Fill my city with your teaching and let crowds be converted and brought into relationship with You. I pray for an ovewhelming revival to hit Ashburn, Virginia that will shake up this area. I pray it will affect every aspect of society and that the percentage of those claiming to be Christian would increase dramatically. Father, there is a huge amount of work to be done and I realize we can't do it on our own. Come by Your Spirit and do what man cannot do. Transform our region from being self-centered to becoming Christ-centered.
Let the fire fall!
Jeff
