Jesus is Your

Peace

You, Lord, give true peace to those who depend on you, because they trust you. Isaiah  26: 3

Perfect peace is  expressed in  Hebrew by shalom, a Hebrew method of putting great emphasis on a word.  You will keep Him in everything the word shalom implies : health,happiness, well-being,  peace.  The word translated mind is not the usual Hebrew word, but rather is a word meaning "creative  imagination." Isiah's thought is that he whose creative imagination,  the seat of plans and ideas is firmly founded on the eternal Lord, will enjoy shalom in all its implications.

The Integrity of the Word of God

The Word is actually what it declares itself to be. It is a revelation from God to us.  It is God speaking to us.  It is God speaking to us now. Not only is it a book of the past and a book of the future;  it also is a book of now. This book is God-breathed, God-indwelt, God-inspired message. Amen
Hebrews  4:12

Persecution  Breeds Power

To prepare for this session, read Acts 6:8—9:31.

If a gas in a closed container is heated so much that the pressure exceeds the strength of the container, an explosion occurs. That’s why aerosol cans, which contain pressurized propellant gases, have warnings on them against being placed near sources of heat.
The religious leaders and other enemies of the gospel found out from the beginning that containing the apostles’ witness to the resurrection of Jesus was difficult. Increasing the heat just seemed to excite and incite the witnesses.
As Christ’s followers yield to the power of the Holy Spirit. Our words, fueled by the Spirit’s wisdom and the signs and wonders we perform by the power of the Holy Spirit, is a fuse. Amen

Acts Kingdom

Victory Over the World

Our faith brings  victory over the world 1John5:4
It provides us with a spiritual weapon by which we cambat  both the temptations and the precautions of a godless society.  Amen

Acts Kingdom

Seek Spiritual Unity

Acts 4:32 tells us they "were of one heart and soul". "One heart" meant to be true or in sync with one another.  They were headed in the same spiritual direction.  The Greek meaning is to to breathe or to breathe spiritually together.  This spiritual unity is both powerful and practical.  Amen

Kingdom Extra

When God establishes and begin to bless His covenant people, He dramatically indicates how essential integrity is how destructive deceptive indicates is. Joshua 6-7

Boldness in the Spirit

Peter and John were "uneducated and untrained" Acts 4:13. In the sense that they had not received rabbinic training carrying out the detailed and often obscure arguments that the Sadducess and Pharisees and Scribes were noted for.

The Hebrew education as children, and long portions used in rituals of worship growing up. This is what the Sadducess and Pharisees saw in them, the Promise of the Father gives us Boldness and Power. Amen
