The Tarrying Factor
Monday, August 14, 2017
Some people have formulas about how to receive the fullness and empowering of God's Spirit, some have seminars on it. Messiah said, "Tarry in Jerusalem". The word in Greek is kath-id'- zo. It means to stay, to continue. They had to continue in Jerusalem, in God's will and presence. If they'd only stayed four days instead of ten, they'd have missed the blessing. If you want the fullness and power of His Spirit, you have to kath-id' - zo. Stay, continue, and keep on in the will of God. Consistency in God is important. Many people give up before they get the blessing. The secret of receiving the blessing in God's Spirit is linked to tarrying. They didn't just go to Jerusalem and get the blessing, they had to stay there and persevere before they saw anything. The Spirit life is about continuing, abiding, perseverance, consistency, endurance, and continuing in His Word and wil l without giving up. Do you want to reap? Keep on keeping on, in the will and calling of God and He will come to you to fill your life with fullness and power from on high. You just continue.
From Message #972 - Welcoming the Spirit
Scripture: Luke 24:49
TODAY'S MISSION - Make it your aim to keep on in what is good. Don't give up in the Lord, but press on no matter what.
