‘A Silencing Time.’
Acts 15:12.
a) The entire leadership of the Church at Jerusalem were gathered, of course they were Jews.
b) They were completely silent as they heard the mission report of Barnabas and Paul.
c) They spoke of the miracles and wonders that God had performed through them.
d) This had all been done amongst the Gentiles.
(Through this Second one I thank God for A Silencing Time, the time or times when I hear wonderful and exciting news about people groups who do not commonly respond to the Gospel responding to it in Faith)

Chris.
We can receive the Blessing which God Promised to Abraham. We receive this Promise by Faith. I very much believe that the Gifts of the Holy Spirit are for the Church today. They are distributed at His Will and not our will. Because of Jesus Christ, and His Death and Resurrection, we can receive the Holy Spirit by Faith. There are so many different aspects of the Holy Spirit in the Bible, especially regarding our Faith life. There is the “Baptism” with the Holy Spirit, “Gifts” of the Holy Spirit, “Fruit” of the Holy Spirit, “Sanctifying work” of the Holy Spirit in our lives and the “Power” to witness that comes from the Holy Spirit. All these aspects are made possible for us because we have received the Holy Spirit by Faith.
