Good morning and Happy Friday all. As we continue in the month of Acts of September based on Acts 1:7-8, 4:29-31 and 28:25-27. As most of you who read my blogs know that the previous month, August, I did not do any blogs due to me not changing my search engine. For those of you who are not my fbf the theme of last month was Passion in August. You all may not be able to tell but I have a passion to write. As I am in school now taking courses to my degree in Human Resources Management when it comes to writing a paper I get so excited. My friend Chef Stroud gets so excited when she goes to a nice restaurant. My friend Angela Francis gets excited when she can go shoe shopping. My Mother gets excited when she sees her great grandchildren and grandchildren. As men and women of faith we all should have a passion to want to have the love of God, know that Jesus is our Savior, and that being filled with the Holy Spirit is what we want this entire month. So brought by the Holy Spirit who is filling me with these words as the I want to have the Acts of Passion.
As per usual in most of my teachings I use definitions to help get an understanding of what I actually mean. In an earlier blog I defined acts but I am going to use another definition for this teaching. Acts means as
follows; by an authority; a formal decision; and like award. In looking up the word passion it means; a powerful emotion; a strong desire; a person who feels strong love for another. As I write today by an authority, God, I have a powerful emotion to continue to filled with the Holy Spirit. I have made a formal decision that I want to have a strong desire be led by the Holy Spirit. And finally I want the award of feeling a strong love for the Holy Spirit to come and teach me how to treat all. Three paragraphs. Three examples. Acts of Passion. Take 1.
In my first example of Acts of Passion I go to one of the base scriptures of Passion in August and that is Nehemiah 1:4-9. In this Nehemiah fasted and prayed, a powerful emotion, that his people would be free.
In Acts 3:1-9 Peter and John by the authority of Jesus Christ who left the Holy Spirit here on earth for us were able to make a man who had been unable to walk dance and walk. We as people of God have the same power. The same emotion and authority. We have the Acts of Passion. Take 2.
In the second example of Acts of Passion I go the second base scripture of Passion in August and that is Songs of Solomon 8:6-7. In this passage Solomon is writing to a woman but the strong desire is also felt to
God as our Father. In Acts 11:12-17 Peter made a formal decision to follow what God told him to do and was able to have the Holy Spirit come and bless those who had not be filled with the Holy Spirit. we as people of faith have to have the same desire and decision. We have to have the Acts of Passion. Take 3.
In my last example of Acts of Passion I go to the final base scripture for Passion in August and that is John 11:41-43. Jesus, the Rabboni ( master teaching ) shows a strong love for Lazarus who has died and cries.
In Acts 18:9-11 Paul has been awarded by the Lord a peace of mind that knowing he is with him and keep spreading the gospel. We have the same love and award with the Holy Spirit. The Acts of Passion. Conclusion.
In closing we being filled with the Holy Spirit we have the authority to be emotional about our youth and how we can help shape the future for them. The Holy Spirit wants us to make a formal decision to have a strong desire to be part of and learn from our elders. The Holy Spirit is looking to award us with a strong love toward one another as we seek to have him in our lives. The Acts of Passion is now at a End. Curtain call. I give God all the glory and the honor for this teaching. I want to thank my Mom and Dad for all the prayers they have prayed for me all my life. Valley Kingdom Ministries International for cultivating my teaching gifts. Ms. Angela L. Francis for introducing me to this ministry. Second Mt. Vernon for being my first church home. To all my fbf whose support had me go out and teach via social media worldwide. To my sons Marvell and Marcus. To Tremaine and Tamesha F. To my grand children Reale, Amarion and Marcus.
