BELIEVERS WALKED IN THE FEAR OF GOD AND COMFORT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

LIVINGH20 TALKRADIO

Acts 9, Upon arrival in Jerusalem Paul tried to meet with the believers, but they were all afraid of him. They thought he was faking! Then Barnabas brought him to the apostles and told them how Paul had seen the Lord on the way to Damascus, what the Lord had said to him, and all about his powerful preaching in the name of Jesus. Then they accepted him, and after that he was constantly with the believers 29 and preached boldly in the name of the Lord. But then some Greek-speaking Jews with whom he had argued plotted to murder him. However, when the other believers heard about his danger, they took him to Caesarea and then sent him to his home in Tarsus. Meanwhile, the church had peace throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria, and grew in strength and numbers. The believers learned how to walk in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Peter traveled from place to place to visit them,[a] and in his travels came to the believers in the town of Lydda. There he met a man named Aeneas, paralyzed and bedridden for eight years. Peter said to him, “Aeneas! Jesus Christ has healed you! Get up and make your bed.” And he was healed instantly. Then the whole population of Lydda and Sharon turned to the Lord when they saw Aeneas walking around. FRIENDS, JESUS GAVE US THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HELP US WITH OUR PROBLEMS AND TO HELP US PRAY. Romans 8:26 by our faith, the Holy Spirit helps us with our daily problems and in our praying. For we don’t even know what we should pray for nor how to pray as we should, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with such feeling that it cannot be expressed in words.
