My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

Do you see the Spirit move in your life? Acts 5-6
You can't read any parts of Acts without see and hearing about the movement of the Holy Spirit in the lives of the apostles, believers, and the Church. In Acts 5:32 Peter tells the religious leaders that God "gave" the Holy Spirit to all those who called upon God for salvation and obey Him in repentance and faith. The story about the married couple in the beginning of Acts 5 (Annanis and Sapharia) is an example of the Holy Spirit's work. The only way Peter would know that they conspired to lie to the church and God was because the Holy Spirit had to tell him. It was the Spirit of God who unlocked the doors of the prison and set Peter and company free. The Spirit's work in the lives of believers is paramount to our victory in Christ. In Romans 8 we are told we are lead the the Spirit. The Spirit's interaction in our lives is evidence of our salvation. We can see that has a fear (see the married couple) or freedom (see prison scene). Yielding to the Spirit is the way we live our life as believers. He was given to us to comfort us and teach us and guide us and strengthen us: All at the same time of giving glory to God and speaking of Christ not Himself. Let's embrace His movement in our lives.
