Power Evangelism

 Scripture:

“The power of the Lord was with them, and a large number of these Gentiles believed and turned to the Lord.” ‭‭Acts of the Apostles‬ ‭11‬:‭21‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

This simple passage describes beautifully how God used the Early Church to win souls to Himself. There was something strongly backing up what the apostles said and did. It says, “The power of the Lord was with them…” A large number of people believed and turned to the Lord because the power of the Lord was present with them. It must have been apparent that God’s power was among His people. 

Application:

More than ever before, we need to power of the Lord to back up what we speak. When God’s power is in a place, people don’t need convinced that He is real and that He is powerful. I don’t want to speak about the Lord by my own performance, but by God’s power. It is His power upon a life that causes people to turn to Him. I want God’s power more and more in my life. I want people to know that the power of the Lord is present when I speak to them. 

Prayer:

Father, let Your power flow through my life. Confirm Your word with signs and wonders. Let this generation see Your power and Your glory. We need a strong move of God. Your church is trying hard to win souls through every means possible. I need Your power to be present when I minster, speak, pray, etc. I don’t want to try to mimic in the flesh what can only be done by Your Spirit. Baptize me once again with Your power. When we go to Turkey and Togo next week, fill me with Your Spirit and power. Use my life for Your glory.

Yours,

Jeff
