And you shall receive power.(Acts 1 v 8)

 As I write  this I hear the wind blowing outside, John 3 v 8 .reads,'The wind blows wherever it pleases,you hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit'.Bruce Milne writing as regards the wind says,'While today we have better knowledge of its origin and nature,we have no better mastery of its direction. Essentially therefore  the new birth is from God,it is supernatural beyond human control or exhaustive human knowledge.'   One speaks of  being born again of the Spirit of God (John 3 v6) Great preaching cannot save anybody, no it is the power of the holy Spirit that makes it happen. It is that same power that changes and transforms lives,Corinth was a place of  great immorality,but the gospel was proclaimed in that place the result was God moved by His Spirit in that evil place and lives where changed.The apostle Paul and others ministered in that place many got saved.Later Paul wrote to the church and he pointed to those  who inherit the  kingdom of God,he goes unto say,'Do not be deceived; neither the sexually immoral  nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanders nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God'.so we stop there? no, for he goes unto to write,'And that is what some of you were.'  now, they were changed, how?, by the Holy Spirit working in their lives and bringing them to Christ.( 1 Corinthians 6 v 9 - 11 )

                           Dear Holy Spirit,as we witness to people convict them of sin and of their 

                           need of Jesus, in His name we ask this Amen.
