Can’t Help Speaking!

Posted by: Angie Schultz on Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Good morning everyone! Hope that everyone is having a great week. Thank you to everyone who is serving in Children’s Ministry! Thank you for your heart for children and for teaching and building relationships with them.

Here is the verse that I wanted to share with you this week:

“For we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”

~ Acts 4:20

At this point in Acts Peter and John are going out and preaching about Jesus Christ. Peter has just healed the crippled beggar and they are now being questioned before the Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin just told Peter and John that they can not speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus and this verse is there reply. What courage and boldness! To know that they could be killed for standing up to the Sanhedrin – but they didn’t care. They knew what they believed and they stood by it. Praise God!

The Truths of God’s Word should be pouring out of our mouths daily because we want others to know about it and we can not help it. God has His handprints all over our lives and we should be out there speaking about His grace, His love & His forgiveness to everyone we come into contact with – because we can not help it. My challenge for you this week is to read through the first 4 chapters of Acts and meditate on their passion for who Jesus was and is. Look at your daily walk with Christ and challenge yourself to step out of your comfort zone and tell people about who Jesus is and the mark He has made on your heart and your life.

Have a great week!
