Willingness

Kindness inspires you to be agreeable.  Instead of being obstinate,  reluctant, or stubborn, you cooperate, you stay flexible.

Rather than complaining or making excuses, you look for creative ways to accommodate and adjust.

Acts Kingdom Power

A Loyal Witness

Acting as a witness to an event isn't easy. It takes observation and practice in observation. As Jesus' life and words faithfully witnessed to the Father by the power of the Holy Spirit, so His disciples lives and words were to bear witness to Him by the same power of the Holy Spirit. Amen

Receive the Holy Spirit

Acts 1:8
On the day He ascended into Heaven, Jesus made a promise to the assembled believers (Christians). This Spirit Baptism is the empowering for ministry as promised in Luke 24: 49

The mission of believers (Christians) one that cannot be accomplished without the supernatural Holy Spirit Baptism.  Jesus' words about spreading witness of the gospel through the Spirit-filled disciples (Christians) could only be fulfilled with supernatural power as a result of being baptized with the Holy Spirit.  Luke 3:16

Stay Connected

When Jesus sent out a his first disciples,  He sent them in pairs.  Mark 6:7-13
He knew they would be exposed to the pressures of the world and the schemes of the enemy.

In what way can being in close relationship with another believer foster greater spiritual health and more effective ministry. Amen

Citizens of God's Kingdom

The first call of the kingdom is to repentance.  The implications of biblical repentance are 3 fold.
1) renunciation and reversal.
2) submission and teach ability.
3) continual shape ability.

There is no birth into the kingdom without hearing the call to salvation,  renouncing one's sins, and turning away from sin toward Christ the Savior. Acts 3:19

Faith

God has provided the way whereby everyone can have faith.

If God demands we have faith when it is impossible for us to have faith,  we have a right to challenge His justice.

But if He places within our hands the means whereby faith can be produced, then the responsibility rests with us whether or not we have faith.
Hebrews 11:6
