Acts 2:39

 

³⁹The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call."

 

For all the Lord our God will call. God calls out to people daily. Who hears it, and what is done with it is a very different story. I want to highlight the first part of this passage “this promise is for you, and your children” You have an invitation to be part of the Holy Family, a part of a group of people that make up the body of Christ, this invitation is not just for you, but for everyone in your family……I have talked to people who, while they go to church, they feel like they are just there because that is what they do….always have…always will. Third seat second row on the left, that is their spot. Folks, those people are not accepting the invitation as it is extended. They suffer, and their family suffers. Why? Because this promise, the promise of the Holy Spirit, the promise of forgiveness of sins…it is meant to be shared, it is meant to be modeled, and it is meant to be a Monday thru Monday event. It is meant as a group activity, starting with each one of us. The Lord made this promise to all that would be called, are you taking God up on that invitation? Do you extend that invitation to all in your house? Do you find that your house is a house that celebrates all that God has done, or is it a house where everyone is wanting more of the world? This is a huge part of utilizing that invitation.  Take God up on His promise. Bring that promise into your house. Place the Lord at the center of your home, and you will see that the Holy Spirit will work, not just in you, but in your entire family. Allow your house to accept the forgiveness, and the love that comes form the promise of God, and watch as that love spreads throughout your house. God has called you, and He has called your family, will you hear it? Will you allow it in…not just yourself, but inside of your home, your family, your world? God made the promise, Christ fulfilled it, now it is up to each of us to accept it,  to utilize it, and to pass it along. This promise is for you, what you do with it……well that is up to you.
