God versus satan; with people in between!

Acts 13:6-12 

There is no doubt that satan rules the earth.  When Jesus was told by the devil to bow down and worship him Jesus never disputed that satan ruled the earth.  What Jesus did do though is introduce God's Kingdom here on earth. "May Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven".  Thus we're left with this true story of some Christians who come across a Jewish wizard who enhanced their ministry, it seems, in the eyes of the proconsul, Sergius Paulus.  You see, God is in the habit of taking what satan means for harm and turning it around into good.

Lord Jesus, we live in this world run by satan but we're in Your Kingdom here on earth.  Give us eyes to see what You see and work in and through us so that what satan means for harm You continue to turn into good.  Amen

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
