Overview

The consuming desire of the disciples in the early Church was to speak, to proclaim the Word of the Lord. They believed and effectually demonstrated that the Lord Jesus Christ was speaking through them. They knew that they were the members of His Body and the extension of their Lord Jesus upon the earth. This is the history of the book of Acts, and it is being repeated in these times. The chapters of this book will be a great blessing and encouragement to you.

Top Highlights

“It is important that there be an anointed remnant of people, walking with God, who know the difference between living for the Kingdom of God and living for themselves.” (Page 122)

“Never try to speak something that is not a true and living part of you. First you absorb the Word of the Lord. Next you assimilate the Word. Finally you proclaim the Word that has become a living part of you.” (Page 34)

“It is very important that God’s people be concerned. Do not expect the Lord to come and rapture you out of the tribulation. In the will of the Lord, the Church is scheduled to go through a great deal of this beginning of sorrows. A vision and a revelation of the Lord is directing a remnant of believers to prepare for it. What shall God’s people live for? They must live for God with all of their hearts.” (Page 125)

“All the theory in the world will not work, because it is born in the hearts of men where all corruption arises. In a walk with the Lord, we must be disciples of Jesus Christ, wholly given to Body ministry and seeking the Kingdom of God with no selfishness or personal ambition; otherwise, our walk becomes another theory, and it will fail.” (Page 124)

“Your only concern should be that you are addicted to ministering to Him as Lord and to the servants of Jesus Christ. He that would be greatest must become the servant of all (Matthew 23:11). Get back to the real truths of the gospel.” (Page 124)
