Jesus’ Last Words and Paul’s First Words Were the Same

Jesus’ Last Words and Paul’s First Words Were the Same
By Robert Fitts

Jesus’ last words to his disciples were, “Go into all the world and preach this good news to everyone . . . but don’t go anywhere until you receive the Baptism in the Holy Spirit.” (see Lk. 24:46-49)

Paul’s first words to a group of disciples he had just met in Ephesus were: “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”

A person’s last words or their first words upon just meeting someone would normally carry more weight than the regular run of words. Jesus was careful to remind his followers that they were to go into all the world with the good news, but that they were not to go UNTIL something absolutely essential had happened and that was the experience of being “clothed with power from on high” such as He himself had experienced when John baptized him at the Jordan River.

Much emphasis is being placed on the experience in our time, and not without good reason. The advance of the Christian movement in our day is huge! It is without precedent. There is a virtual tidal wave of Holy Spirit power that is beginning to cover the world “with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea” and it is all connected to a people who have been filled with the Holy Spirit and who believe in miracles, signs and wonders! And they are seeing them happen, especially in Africa, India, China and throughout Asia.

Have you received your supernatural anointing yet?

Where It All Begins
Out of the womb of prayer, praise and worship all things in the kingdom of God are conceived, nurtured, and brought to birth for the glory of God and the good of mankind.

A Declaration of Unity
I belong to everything that belongs to Jesus and everything that belongs to Jesus belongs to me! It's not us and them. It's just us! There's only one Body of Christ, and the problems of the church, the whole church, are our problems, for we are the church and we can do more united than we can do divided! So let's unify, simplify, and multiply!

Divine Appointment Prayer
Father, give me a divine appointment today with someone who is hungry for God, or sick, or in need, and give me grace to minister the love of Jesus in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Winning the War on Terror by Prayer
Father, give every terrorist in the world an encounter with Jesus such as Paul had on the road to Damascus.

Living to Give
Father, make me a generous giver today! Show me where to give and what to give, and let all my giving bring glory to the name of Jesus.

Grace, YES! Law, NO!
Law demands, demands, demands
But gives me neither feet nor hands Grace and Truth are better things
They bid me fly and give me wings!
