The Manifestation of the Spirit of God (Wednesday)

Have we come to the place where we don’t expect God to miraculously intervene in the history of the church? Have we come to expect that God will not save people in unusual ways (such as dreams and visions) when, in fact, many Muslims are saved this way today? Have we come to expect God only to heal through doctors and hospitals, and not miraculously? The Book of Acts is the story of the disciples receiving what Jesus received in order to do what Jesus did. When we read the Book of Acts we should ask why we don’t experience God’s presence and power as those early saints did. We should believe that He is able (and willing) to intervene in human history in a miraculous way. And we should pray that God would accomplish His will and His work, in whatever way He chooses.
