"And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness."Acts 4:31
The disciples,were terrified on the night of Jesus' death, were transformed into bold saints of God; and that fishermen, tax collectors, and housewives -- normal everyday people -- became empowered, and turned the Roman Empire inside out and upside down!
In Acts 2, we read about the initial outpouring of the Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Just a few chapters later the same saints who had been once filled to overflowing, sought to be refilled again [Acts 4]. It was not a one time experience, but rather a constant refilling of the Spirit which they needed to change their world. They repeatedly sought to be empowered to accomplish whatever task God assigned to them. They just kept going back, to the well that never runs dry, and so they kept getting filled -- and refilled -- and refilled again!
Brothers & Sisters be empowered ... again, don't ever become spiritually "satisfied"! Seek to be filled — once filled — seek to be refilled! And refilled again! How do we live in a constant state of revival? By always seeking MORE! In doing so, God will empower everyday folk like us to turn our world inside out and upside down!
