A precise perusal of the Book of Acts portrays people participating with the Holy Spirit. I’ve put pen to paper and pigeonholed seven particulars from their personal pursuits:
#1 PRAYER: Disciples pray – packed in one place, privately on roof tops, during imprisonment, with fasting, for boldness and guidance – and God answers!
#2 POWER: Christ-exalting phenomena are publicized – lame pace, phony liars die, prison doors open, tongues speak, demons flee, dead rise.
#3 PARTNERSHIP: Property, cooperation, and community are politely portioned and shared together in love.
#4 PRAISE: Worship proceeds in the upper room, despite threats, after salvation, after Spirit Baptism, after healing, after miracle deliverance, after torture, and even for the privilege of suffering for Christ.
#5 PERSECUTION: Persecution is both a path for Holy Spirit ministry and a product of Holy Spirit engagement.
#6 PREACHING: The Spirit-inspired public proclamations of Peter and Paul are published.
#7 PROSELYTISM: For pattern’s sake, I employed a posh word for the prolific addition of people into God’s family. Holy Spirit ministry prompted thousands and thousands into the kingdom.
Praise the Lord who provides, protects, preserves, and promotes! I propose a painstaking probe of my provocative phrases. I promise – pondering and picking up on these points propels positive progress.
