But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith. Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him and said, “O full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting the straight ways of the Lord? And now, indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.”
And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand. Then the proconsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
–Acts 13:8-12 (NKJV)

A church without miracles is like a gas station with gas.

As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.”

–Acts 13:2 (NKJV)

I love to be in HIs House!  

God, YOU are AWESOME!

More is caught than is taught

just because you obey God doesn’t mean you love Him. 

Many people obey their bosses but that doesn’t mean they love them. 

Love God. This is what Jesus God says about that 

Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
–Matthew 22:37 (NKJV)

who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit.
–Acts 8:15 (NKJV)

We can see that praying to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit is a must.  Let’s read the story in context.

Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them, who, when they had come down, prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit. For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
–Acts 8:14-17 (NKJV)

Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.
–Acts 8:13 (NKJV)

There is nothing like the power of God.  Even a man who had practiced working with the power of darkness came to Jesus.  He followed around Philip and was amazed at what God did.  

Entrust your efforts to the Lord,
and your plans will succeed.
–Proverbs 16:3 (GWT)

Or in the New King Jimmy

Commit your works to the Lord,
And your thoughts will be established.
–Proverbs 16:3 (NKJV)

Give it all to Him!
