Daily Bread - Nov 28 2006
Acts 13:2 - "And while they performed the service of the Lord and fasted the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart now Barnabas and Saul unto the work which I have called them."
This is one example of how actively in charge the person the Holy Spirit is in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 15:28; 16:6; 20:28). The Holy Spirit not only proclaimed that they were to be separated unto Him but is also the one who sent them (Acts 13:4). The Holy Spirit is the one who is here to teach the church everything that it is supposed to do (John 14:26).
When anyone spoke to the leaders of the church they were actually addressing the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:3). When men spoke in the church they did so by the Holy Spirit (Acts 20:23; 21:11). When men refused to listen to the gospel they were, in fact, refusing to listen to the Holy Spirit (Acts 7:51). It was the Holy Spirit who spoke the word of God through the prophets of old such as Isaiah, and it is the Holy Spirit that speaks through His servants today (Acts 28:25; 1 Thessalonians 2:14).
Be blessed,

- 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).
