Jesus is risen, and we are His witnesses (see Acts 1:8; 2:32; 3:15; 4:33; 10:41; 13:31). In this beginning of the Easter season, are you obeying the risen Jesus and witnessing for Him?
If you are not witnessing, or not witnessing that much, you may be quenching the Holy Spirit (1 Thes 5:19) by letting yourself be:
The fact that Satan opposes our witnessing with wave after wave of opposition is an indication that witnessing for Jesus is powerful, life-changing, and world-changing.
The Lord has given us the power to overcome all the opposition of the evil one. He promises: "There is One greater in you than there is in the world" (1 Jn 4:4). God's grace is sufficient, for in our weakness His power reaches perfection (2 Cor 12:9). Pray to accept the grace to witness to someone for the risen Christ within twenty-four hours.
| PRAYER: | Father, stir the Holy Spirit into flame in my life (see 2 Tm 1:6-7). |
| PROMISE: | "No one who comes will I ever reject." –Jn 6:37 |
| PRAISE: | Several musically gifted youth serve Jesus by leading the worship ministry at a weekly charismatic prayer group. Now they minister on the prayer teams as well. |
