Acts of the Holy Spirit: Chapter 12
The book of Acts is a testimony to the powerful workings of the Holy Spirit. Christ had sent His Spirit to dwell in believers so they could be witnesses to a lost world. In chapter 12 we see the Holy Spirit protecting those who are sharing their faith. The gospel will always be confronted by adversaries who will attempt to silence believers from sharing the truth. We have many of these adversaries today in our culture and they are trying to silence Christians. They will never succeed because of the power of the Holy Spirit.
The enemies will ultimately be destroyed and their plans fail as God’s Word continues to be proclaimed. In this trying time in which we live, we must stand up for Jesus, share the gospel message, disciple those who come to Jesus and live a life of faith before the world. These things can only be done through the power of the Holy Spirit. That is why we are commanded to”Be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
