In Acts chapter 1 Peter boldly stood up and preached to the elders and the congregation. In Acts chapter 2 the Holy Spirit (HS) came and many were brought into the kingdom. The HS informed me that Peter spent time with Jesus. He was there when Jesus preached and that same Jesus is found in scripture today. The same words Jesus preached have the ability to transform our lives today. Surely Simon (the word Simon means heard )heard Jesus’ words, believed, and it changed Peter’s life forever. Satan-creator of all things evil – and his world likes to tell us that we are ignorant, cowards, etc… and that we will never amount to anything, but Jesus! Jesus called Simon–Peter and on that rock, He built his church. Peter heard and believed what Jesus said and became what God intended Peter to be–a powerhouse for His kingdom! God wants to enable all of us to be who He intended us to be and His will for us will always be found in truth (His words are truth). From the beginning, He wanted sons and daughters and that is still the case today. His love for us empowers us to be like Him. Jesus never allowed a lie to enter His heart and neither should we -believe and speak His words today! Say these words today! “I am a son (or daughter)! I am a powerhouse for good!” Thank you, Jesus!
