I want to ask you something that has been rising in my spirit for a long time. If Jesus told His disciples to go and do what He did, to heal the sick, to cast out demons, to raise the dead, and then He left the earth, why would the disciples stop doing those things? Why would Peter and John and Paul stop operating in the same power that Jesus walked in? They didn’t. They kept right on doing it.
But here is the part that really interests me. Paul never met Jesus. He wasn’t one of the original twelve. He came to faith after the resurrection. And he did the exact same things Jesus did. He healed people. He cast out demons. He saw visions and spoke in tongues. If Paul was supposed to do what Jesus did, and Paul lived in a completely different dispensation than the original disciples, then why would anything be different for us?
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever, Hebrews 13:8 tells us. Not sometimes. Not back then. The same. And Acts 2 is not a history lesson. It is a model. When the Day of Pentecost came, the Holy Spirit fell on all of them and they began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance. God said in the last days He would pour out His Spirit on all flesh, that sons and daughters would prophesy, young men would see visions, old men would dream dreams. Acts didn’t close. It is still happening. It is supposed to be happening through you.
But here is what I hope you to hear. We are at the finish line. We are not coasting into it. We are sprinting. There is no slowing down, no taking a breath, no sitting down to rest before the race is over. When a runner sees the finish line they do not sit down and take a siesta. They push harder. They run faster. They give everything they have because the moment matters and time is running out.
This is that moment. You are that runner. And every single interaction you have, every person you encounter, every choice you make is a conversation between you and God about whether you did what you were called to do. Not whether you were good enough or kind enough or even successful enough. Rather, whether you did the thing He told you to do.
Deuteronomy 30:19 says, I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse, therefore choose life. You have to choose it. The power is available. Acts didn’t close. But you have to step into it. You have to choose to move, to speak, to act, to be filled with the Holy Ghost and stand in the authority that Jesus purchased for you.
If you have never made that choice, if you have never invited Jesus into your heart and asked Him to fill you with His Holy Spirit, today is the day. Pray this with me:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for sending Jesus to die on the Cross just for me. I admit that I have sinned, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me. I believe that He died and rose again. Right now, I make Him the Lord of my life. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit. My sins are washed away, my past is forgiven, and my future is bright. Help me to live like the beloved that I already am in Christ. Thank you for saving me.
In Jesus name,
Amen
Make today count and see you tomorrow.
