“The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else.” - Oswald Chambers

 

Acts 1:7, 8

7Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority. 

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

 

Jesus is saying… you don’t need to know what is going on. You may be caught off guard. You may not be in the know… you actually might have certain things planned according to your faith and theology.. and it may in fact not come about. You may in fact feel inadequate for a time or a season - seasons change. Ever have a horrendous storm in the middle of summer and it causes major damage? A tornado? Or massive melting of snow causing flooding? Seasons - uhg. 

And times! Some days you are bored… to much time, some days you never have enough time. Some times are hard, some times are happy

… but not to worry. He sent his Holy Spirit to ascend upon you. Now this is different from the Holy Spirit in you. When you accept Christ you receive his seal of the Holy Spirit. But there are also times when his Holy Spirit rests on you… maybe you speak in tongues or maybe you are not a tongue talker or even believer… we can cover that on another date and time. But the point is, are you aware that the Holy Spirit is upon you for all seasons and times. and with power! 

 

So lets look at the meat of this verse! 

You don’t always know what will happen.

You will have power through the Holy Spirit…

And here is where the claws kick in…

You will be my witnesses.

Can I get a witness?

we love to be a witness. 

I was a witness to Lebron James career high game.

I was a witness to the shooting…

I was a witness at the trial

I was a witness seeing the building fall

HOLD ON. Thats is not exactly what this word witness here means. It actually means a martyr!

 

so lets re-read this verse to get a better understanding.

Acts 1:7, 8

7Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority. 

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

 

Again the meat of the verse:

You don’t always know what will happen.

You will have power through the Holy Spirit…

You will be willing to give up your life for me at anytime, or place anywhere You are (i.e. in the world) 

 

I hope you don’t miss the chain of events… or the recipe here. 

You don’t know what might happen

You have the Holy Spirit on you

He will show up in power if you are not afraid to die to yourself and act on behalf of God. My life is one of a Martyr. I am willing to die to ego, goals, passions, desires, fears, wants needs Popularity, etc… 

 

To live with the mindset of a martyr is to live in a position of power because the holy spirit is always flowing through me… My life does not get in the way! 

I don’t work out because I ams disciplined. I work out because I am selfish.  I

love the way it makes me feel.  What if witnessing was that way...it's not that

we’re good at it I just love the way it makes me feel. 

 

Be a witness!
