Daily Bread - FEB/15/07
Acts 9:40-42 - "And Peter sent all of them outside, and he knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body he said, 'Tabitha arise,' and she opened her eyes and saw Peter and sat up. And giving her hand lifted her up, and he called the saints and the widows and presented her alive. And it was known throughout all Joppa and many believed upon the Lord."
Peter ministered to Tabitha in a similar way that Jesus ministered to the daughter of Jairus (Mark 5:41, Luke 8:54). Jesus removed everyone from the room except Peter, James, John, and the father and mother of the girl who were in faith for their daughter's recovery.
The miracle power of God that flows from presence of God is shut down by the skepticism and suspicion of men. The reason for extraordinary miracles is so that men may encounter the reality of God. The message of the Gospel is one of power that produces healing for the body and deliverance for the soul. This Gospel of the Kingdom is the one that Jesus preached and the one that He commanded the church to demonstrate.
Blessings,
Pastor Mark Spitsbergen

- I started this blog back in 2005, but in 2006 began dedicating it solely for the purpose of posting email messages called, Daily Bread, sent out Monday through Saturday by my pastor, Mark Spitsbergen. These daily emails contain fresh revelation that Mark gets from the Word of God by the Holy Spirit for that day for the church that God has called him to pastor, Abiding Place. 1 Peter 4:11 says, "If any man speak let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister let him do it as of the ability which God gives that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom be praise and dominion forever and ever. Amen." Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, (John 14:6), and He says, "The words that I speak to you are Spirit, and they are Life." (John 6:63). For the Word of God is quick (alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
