Time Alone With God

 

     Jesus listened to God, and then as one empowered by the Holy Spirit, he spoke and acted. He passed this same method of ministry on to his apostles, promising them he would send the Holy Spirit to empower them. The Holy Spirit would speak to them, teach them all things, bring all the words of Jesus to their remembrance, testify to Jesus, guide them into truth, and reveal the future to them ( John 14:26; 15:26; 16:13). The end result was that the apostles  heard  God in supernatural ways and worked miracles just as their Master had done. Jesus was their model for ministry

     But he wasn’t only the model for the apostles. He was the model for all Christians. Stephen and Philip were “full of the Spirit” (Acts 6:3, 5; 7:55) like Jesus, so they too heard God in supernatural ways and worked miracles (Acts 6:8, 10; 7:56; 8:6—7, 13, 26,29, 39).

     What do we have in common with Jesus, the apostles, Stephen, Philip, Agabus and other New Testament prophets, and all the charismatically gifted believers in the New Testament churches like those at Corinth, Rome, Ephesus, Thessalonica, and elsewhere? According to the apostles, what we share with them is the very same power that gave them the supernatural ability to hear God and work miracles. Paul’s prayer is that all Christians would come to recognize the inheritance that belongs to them through the presence of the Holy Spirit and know “his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms” (Eph. 1:19-20).   

     Since we share the  same Holy Spirit who empowered Jesus and his followers in the first century, why not let them be our models for what is possible in the Christian life? After all, on more than one occasion Jesus taught that “everything is possible for him who believes” (Mark 9:23; Matt. 21:21-22; Mark 11:23). Even the dead can be raised when we believe (John 11:40). I can’t recal1a place in the Bible where Jesus took back this teaching, nor can I think of a place where the apostles “toned it down” in their writings.

     Dr. Gerald Hawthorne, Professor of Greek and New Testament Exegesis at Wheaton College, has studied every single New Testament reference concerning the Holy Spirit in the life and ministry of Jesus. His conclusion is worthy of full consideration.    

 

And as it was true of Jesus, so it is true of his followers: “As the Father has sent me, even so I send you” (John 20:21b). As Jesus was filled and equipped by the Spirit, so those who belong to Jesus are filled and equipped by the Spirit (Acts 2:4), or at least potentiall7 so (Eph. 5:18).
