Read Acts 5:12-28


                                           Shocking Exploration
What are a few things we can learn about the Spirit of God from this passage?

The Holy Spirit is great at taking people by surprise....
Signs and wonders are used to display God’s grace and power
Healing results from His touch
Offense comes to human pride
Confounded people experience both fear and awe
Keeper of His own, God ministers in the body of believers
Inviting through human curiosity about supernatural things
Never controlled by man’s whims
Giving Himself to those who will obey and receive

Just as the disciples in this passage could not be contained by the religious leaders, so God’s truth is uncontained by man’s indignation.  How shall we respond to this?

Eyes open, see the works of God
eXperiences can help teach truth
People are often His vessels—don’t resent that, embrace it!
Let go of pride and manipulative control
Open up the Bible to discover God’s truth, character, and ways
Repent of sin and receive His Spirit
Explore the Spirit-filled, Spirit-led life!

I strongly encourage you to spend some time on the verses listed below, and then jot down what you sense God may be saying to you.
Read and Pray:  1 Corinthians 1:18-31, Mark 4:11-20, 1 Timothy 3:16, Romans 11:33-36 .___________________________________________ ____________________________________________
