The Enemy Will NEVER Stop Trying
Acts 6:1 ESV
“Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.”
Satan had been trying to stop the New Testament Church from the moment it started, it had started with Jesus. The enemy thought he had won when Jesus died on the cross, what he didn’t know is, that was the moment that he was completely conquered, it was the beginning of his end.
Then when the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit, the enemy went to work to stop the church, even he was smart enough to know when the Holy Spirit started infilling people the possibilities were endless. But the persecution of the church just made the Apostles, and the people rejoice.
So, the enemy went to work on trying to destroy the church from the inside, pinning Christians against Christians but the Holy Spirit already was on top of this new problem creating immediate solutions.
If only the church, as a whole, could be filled with the Holy Spirit today… it would set the church on Spiritual fire and stop the stupidity that goes on inside the four walls of so many churches.
If only!
Prayer:
Father God, give me a spiritual fever to pray for the church. Fill us a fresh and a new with the Holy Spirit so the church can be the Bride that Your Son is coming to bring home. Not a fragmented Bride, but a Holy Bride doing diligently Your work.
