Spirit Empowered Outreach

Today's prayer is for Spirit-empowered local outreach and missions.
This week's ministry focus is Jonathan and Melodee Whitman, our missionaries in Italy.  

At the beginning of the Genesis class lesson time this Sunday we looked up verses that reminded us of what we have because of the Holy Spirit.  Throughout this week I want to share those verses and reminders with you.  Some of these verses are directly related to one of the daily prayer topics.

Acts 1:8 and Matthew 28:19, 20 connect with today's local outreach and missions request.

Because of the Holy Spirit, we can confidently be Jesus' witnesses in our community and in the world.
God's Word not only tells us what to do, 
be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth.
- go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the - -- Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.

These verses also tell us why and how we can do these things.
- you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you
- Jesus is with you always, to the end of the age.

Acts 1:8

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Acts 1:8 and Matthew 28:19, 20 

Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Over and over again, the Bible connects loving God and loving others (Luke 12:27, 1 John 4:19 and more).  Through the Holy Spirit, God has given us the power to love others with a supernatural, God-glorifying love!
