Morning by Morning, March 25 - The Holy Spirit Falls Upon All Who Hear the Word of Faith
Good morning, Lord Jesus. My Lord and Savior, “Lord of all,” be Lord of all of my life and every moment of my day (Acts 10:36). ...
“Then Peter began to speak to them: ‘I truly understand that God shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears Him and does what is right is acceptable to Him. You know the message He sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ-He is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. We are witnesses to all that He did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree; but God raised Him on the third day and allowed Him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One ordained by God as Judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.’ While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word” (Acts 10:34-44).
Just as “the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word” that day, Your Holy Spirit stills falls upon all who hear Your word today. “Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).
Your Holy Spirit gives us faith to believe the truth, faith to believe Your word, faith to believe You. For You are the Truth (John 14:6). And You are the Word (John 1:1). You are both the Source and the Object of our faith, the “Author and Finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2 NKJV).
Then with Your Spirit in us and with our faith in You, we enter into the kingdom of God and “the kingdom of God is within (us)” (Luke 17:21 NKJV). “For the kingdom of God is ... righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17).
This kingdom of God within us is a “kingdom of faith,” a kingdom that’s founded and grounded within us by our faith in You. As expressed in The Message Version of Ephesians Chapter 2:
“That’s plain enough, isn’t it? (We’re) no longer wandering exiles. This kingdom of faith is now (our) home country. (We’re) no longer strangers or outsiders. We belong here, with as much right to the name Christian as anyone. God is building a home. He’s using us all--irrespective of how we got here--in what He is building. He used the apostles and prophets for the foundation. Now He’s using (us), fitting (us) in brick by brick, stone by stone, with Christ Jesus as the Cornerstone that holds all the parts together. We see it taking shape day after day--a holy temple built by God, all of us built into it, a temple in which God is quite at home” (Ephesians 2:19-22 MSG).
Thank You for Your faith that comes by hearing, that comes by Your Holy Spirit bringing Your word of faith into my heart. “The word of faith is near (us), on (our) lips and in (our) heart,” that is the word of faith that we proclaim; because if (we) confess with (our) lips and believe in (our) heart that God raised (Jesus Christ) from the dead, (we) will be saved” (Romans 10:8-9). In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
