4 And,
being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart
from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye
have heard of me....8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
2And
suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it
filled all the house where they were sitting.
- Acts
1: 4, 8; 2:2 KJV
- An
august visitor is not received casually; there is prior preparation:
“...commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait...”
(Wait =
to be available or in readiness; to look forward to eagerly)
Like
the disciples in the Upper Room, may we be in a posture of waiting in readiness
for His arrival in this season. May we put in the needed spiritual alacrity and
poise that beckons to Him...
- An
august visitor doesn’t go to an event uninvited...or unexpected:
“but
wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me”
His
seat is reserved, his name is on the program and there is an anticipation of
his arrival.
May He
find “room” in our lives in this season...
- An
august visitor doesn’t arrive at an event unaccompanied or unannounced:
“there
came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind”
Like
the sirens and retinue announce his arrival in the natural, the elements do/did
in the spiritual.
May we
be sensitive to the stirring of the waters, events that lead to the event...
- An
august visitor doesn’t go to an event without a message:
“But ye
shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you... and ye shall
be witnesses...”
At a
point in the event, He is introduced and mounts the stage to deliver his
“keynote address”...
May our
ears be attentive to His instructions and our hearts yielding to His
impartations in this season...
Amen! More Grace for more Rhema!
