Greater power than magic

 Acts 8:9-13

As Philip preached and performed miracles he got the attention of Simon, the magician.  Simon was a good magician!  People thought he had the power of God yet Simon saw something in Philip that he didn't have.  Philip even amazed Simon!

Lord Jesus, as we approach Halloween I'm reminded of a darker spiritual world that exists, and sometimes even amazes us yet You are even greater than magic and the occult!  Lord Jesus, help us to operate in the realm of faith so we too can see greater things and be amazed by You.  Thank You for coming to earth, connecting with every day people and being willing, as tough as it was, to go to the cross for us.  You are an amazing God.  Thank You too for showing Yourself after the resurrection so we can know that You have power over death.  You are an amazing God!

The Holy Spirit comes

  Act 2:1-4 Jesus said He had to leave in order for the Holy Spirit to come.  I have a theory that while Jesus walked the earth He had the Holy Spirit all to Himself but on the day of Pentecost (as described here) the Spirit was released on all the disciples that were gathered together.  It was a spectacular event with wind and what looked to be tongues of fire and what made it unique is they could speak in other languages. Lord Jesus, please help us to communicate with those that speak other languages.  I know You separated us by our languages because we were trying to be like god but at Pentecost You united us again.  Help us to remember You are God and we are just Your servants so You can use us to increase Your Kingdom.  Amen
