1.PEOPLE WILL BE SAVED (ACTS 2) PETER BECAME A FEARLESS PREACHER OF TRUTH
ACTS 2;38
after you are baptized into Jesus, then the next is to be filled with the holy ghost. No wasting time and you don't have to wait for days, weeks,months and even years because receiving the Holy ghost is as easy as receiving Jesus into your life to be Lord of your heart. and when you get filled with the spirit of God which means to be baptized into God's anointing. this baptism is quite different from baptism in water and baptism into Christ. this is a special baptism in the Holy spirit that is a function of the work of Christ just as john the baptist said a greater than myself is coming whose shoes l cant unloose , the same will baptist you with the Holy ghost and fire. so baptism into God's Spirit is a baptism into God's power and fire and this baptism causes some things to happen in the life of anyone filled with this same spirit as it happened to the church in the book of acts of the apostles.
We see that when they got filled with the spirit of God that very day the same apostle peter that was very timid and fearful to the point that he denied his master three good times, the same peter suddenly became bold and fearless and this is a function of the holy spirit according to 1timothy 1;7 God has not given us the spirit of fear us of POWER, of LOVE and of A SOUND MIND.
so any believer that is full f the holy ghost is actually full of God's power full of God's love and full of God's soundness.
POWER
In acts 1;8, Jesus told them before he ascended that
ye shall receive POWER after that the HOLY GHOST is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in judea, in samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
so we see from that verse of scripture that the power of God is alays going along side with the spirit of God that is to say the Holy Ghost is the custodian of God's power. meaning if anyone is filled with the holy spirit, that individual has just become a custodian of all of God;s ABILITIES AND CAPABILITIES. This was why apostle paul was quick to say I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST THAT STRENGTHENS ME.
This are the words of those that are full of God;s spirit. remember christ is the anointed one and the holy ghost is that anointing.
In the greek, the word power in acts1;8 means DUNAMIS.
Which is been interpreted as inherent power [inherent abilities] capable of reproducing itself like a dynamo. and this was the same power 2peter 1;3 was talking about when he said,
"according as his DIVINE POWER hath given us ALL THINGS that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowlege of him that hath called us to glory and virtue''. halleluya... we have been called into a life of GLORY AND VIRTUE. not to dath and sickness, nor from failure to oppression , nor from molestation to uncleaness not even to glory and suffering as many folks think. not a part reigning and another part in bondage...NO but rather to GLORY AND VIRTUE.
So God's plan for you is that your life become that glorious life He planned it to be before the foundation of the world. but all these comes into reality through the divine POWER of God which is now inside of a believer. when scripture says divine power, it is not a power different from that of acts 1;8. divine here means in the greek THEIOS, that is which belongs to the Godhead . so a believer full of the Holy Spirit is one that now shares that which the Godhead shares this is why in verse 4 of 2peter1, it says and now we are PARTAKERS OF HIS DIVINE NATURE.
So God's power is a necessity to a world of God's fulness and this is brought to a believer by the Holy Spirit. Thank God I have the Holy Ghost.
so a man full of the holy ghost like stephen is a man full of might and abilities, full of mighty deed on the inside and it goes further to show us that when you get filled with the spirit of God, you have been launched into a world of MIGHT....
