Week 2 | Devotional | Dan

Passage: Acts 2:14-41

1. Prayer (check)

2. Meditation

            It is the day of the pentecost. The Holy Spirit came upon the disciples and enabled them to start speaking in other tongues, and the crowd outside is baffled. Peter goes outside to address the crowd. It had been prophesied by the prophet Joel that God would “pour out my Spirit on all people.” This Spirit is for everyone - sons, daughters, young, old, servants, men and women. According to the Word, when I receive the Holy Spirit, I will prophesy. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Peter goes on to explain the Gospel the the crowd that is gathered, and three thousand were added to their number that day.

*Promise to claim: God will pour out His Sprit on me.

*Attitude to change: Live by the Spirit, no longer by the flesh

*Command to obey: Repent!

*Example to follow: Peter proclaiming the Gospel, people responding and repenting immediately

3. Application

For the next month, I will pray to God every morning to empower me with His Spirit before I start the day.

4. Memorization

Acts 2:38-39: Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off­–for all whom the Lord our God will call.”
