Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
October 20, 2023: SOAP #5069: Job 6-8; Acts 12
SCRIPTURE: Acts (NIV) 12:24 But the word of God continued to increase and spread.
OBSERVATION: Steven had been stoned to death. Saul had traveled from city to city to take believers as prisoners to Jerusalem. James had been recently put to death by Herod. Peter was then thrown into prison from which he miraculously escaped, being let out of prison by an angel. The social and political climate was not conducive to Christianity, but the church continued to “increase and spread.”
APPLICATION: I believe that a revival is coming to the church in America, brought on by a social and political environment that is very hostile to Christianity. Every invading army brings its weapons to subdue the nation they are invading. An invading force has come across our southern border. Hidden among the invaders are those with drugs to push. And many are looking for financial support from the government which is already strapped with debt. Bankruptcy is hard on an individual, or family, but what will it do to a nation?
The church is being attacked by social agendas pushing things contrary to the Word of God.
It is time for the church to call upon heaven to become involved in the decisions of individuals and government. The Holy Spirit at work in the church will cause it to “increase and spread.” Christians today should be spirit filled, spirit empowered, and spirit led.
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, I know the goal is not to save governments, but individuals. Heaven already has a good government and does not need one from earth!!! Heaven is looking for people! Use us to bring people to you. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen
