Receiving Revelation & Power
With attention to details, Luke
provides a full account of the
arrest, trial and crucifixion of
the Son of Man. He describes the
plot of Judas, the warm fellowship
of the Last Supper, the mental
anguish at Gethsemane, the tragic
denial by Peter, the miscarriage
of justice at the trials & the brutal
agony of the Roman execution.
But the dark days in Jerusalem
give way to the brilliant dawning
of that first Easter morning when
angels announce: He’s risen.
Lord, Fill us with Your Power:
Two of them were travelling to a
village called Emmaus… And they
talked of all which had happened.
While they conversed, Jesus drew
near and went with them. But their
eyes were restrained, so that they
did not know Him (Lk 24:13-16).
Then Jesus said to them; O foolish
ones and slow of heart to believe
in all that the prophets have spoken…
Jesus took them through the
writings of Moses and all the prophets,
explaining from all the Scriptures
the things concerning Himself (v25-27)
Then Jesus said to them: It was
necessary for the Christ to suffer
and to rise from the dead and that
repentance and remission of sins
be preached in His name to all
nations… And you are witnesses
of these things…. But stay here
in the city until the Holy Spirit fills
you with power (Lk 24:46-49).
Lord, heighten my senses to hear deeper truths and see bigger visions.
May Your Spirit explain the Scriptures
to me personally and specifically
to the situation in my life. And also
provide me Lord a word in season
to those I am ministering that will
lift their spirit or challenge them
to walk closely with You. Amen.
Father, our inability to enjoy the presence of Christ sometimes stem
from disbelief of the Scriptures.
And we worry about life’s problems
despite God’s promises to provide
for our needs. But thanks be to
Christ Jesus that He had defeated
sin and death; and He is with us
through the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Lord Jesus, thanks for the promises
in Your Word of empowerment of
the Holy Spirit of sharing the gospel
and be Your effective witness.
Holy Spirit thank You for dwelling within me & filling me with Your power.
Let my prayers be pleasing to You
O Lord as Your Spirit leads me
praying in the light of Your promises.
In Jesus’ precious name, Amen.
