Acts 1:1-14 To Theophilus, the lover of God. I write to you again, my dear friend, to give you further details about the life of our Lord Jesus and all the things that he did and taught. 2Just before he ascended into heaven, he left instructions for the apostles he had chosen by the Holy Spirit. 3After the sufferings of his cross, Jesus appeared alive many times to these same apostles over a forty-day period.
Acts 1:1-14 cont d Jesus proved to them with many convincing signs that he had been resurrected. During these encounters, he taught them the truths of God s kingdom realm 4and shared meals with them. Jesus instructed them, Don t leave Jerusalem, but wait here until you receive the gift I told you about, the gift the Father has promised. 5For John baptized you in water, but in a few days from now you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit!
Acts 1:1-14 cont d 6Every time they were gathered together, they asked Jesus, Lord, is it the time now for you to free Israel and restore our kingdom? 7He answered, The Father is the one who sets the fixed dates and the times of their fulfillment. You are not permitted to know the timing of all that he has prepared by his own authority. 8But I promise you this the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be filled with power. And you will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces even to the remotest places on earth!
Acts 1:1-14 cont d 9Right after he spoke those words, the disciples saw Jesus lifted into the sky and disappear into a cloud! 10As they stared into the sky, watching Jesus ascend, two men in white robes suddenly appeared beside them. 11They told the startled disciples, Galileans, why are you staring up into the sky? Jesus has been taken from you into heaven, but he will come back the same way that you saw him ascend.
Acts 1:1-14 cont d 12The disciples left the Mount of Olives and returned to Jerusalem, less than a mile away. 13 14Arriving there, they went into a large second- floor room to pray. Those present were Peter, John, Jacob, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, Jacob (the son of Alpheus), Simon (the zealot), Judas (the son of Jacob), and a number of women, including Mary, Jesus mother. His brothers were there as well. All of them were united in prayer, gripped with one passion, interceding night and day.
Acts 1:1-3 To Theophilus, the lover of God. I write to you again, my dear friend, to give you further details about the life of our Lord Jesus and all the things that he did and taught. 2Just before he ascended into heaven, he left instructions for the apostles he had chosen by the Holy Spirit. 3After the sufferings of his cross, Jesus appeared alive many times to these same apostles over a forty-day period. Jesus proved to them with many convincing signs that he had been resurrected. During these encounters, he taught them the truths of God s kingdom realm
Acts 1:8 But I promise you this the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be filled with power. And you will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces even to the remotest places on earth!
5They may pretend to have a respect for God, but in reality they want nothing to do with God s power. Stay away from people like these! 2 Timothy 3:5
16I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God Romans 1:16
Charles Finney Without any expectation of it, without ever having the thought in my mind that there was any such thing for me, without any recollection that I had ever heard the thing mentioned by any person in the world, the Holy Spirit descended upon me in a manner that seemed to go through me, body and soul.
Charles Finney cont d I could feel the impression, like a wave of electricity, going through and through me. Indeed it seemed to come in waves and waves of liquid love for I could not express it in any other way. It seemed like the very breath of God. I can recollect distinctly that it seemed to fan me, like immense wings. No words can express the wonderful love that was shed abroad in my heart. I wept aloud with joy and love
