Lent Week 5, March 22-28 Isaiah 43.11-13 & Acts 1.7,8

If you are following along with our. Here are a few bullet points to aid your listening (studying of the passage), adoring (worship of Jesus) and cooperating (recognizing His grace and following what He is doing) as you pray through the passage.

  • Note how the Lord gives us information about salvation through His revealed word (Isaiah 43.12). How well are you listening to our God who has "revealed and saved and proclaimed" His provision for us?
  • As the witness for the Lord, account for what He has done, to which you can testify. "No one can deliver out of my hand" (Isaiah 43.13) declares the Lord; how are you experiencing His deliverance?
  • Note that when the disciples receive the Holy Spirit, then they are equipped to be Jesus' witness! How have you cooperated with your filling of the Holy Spirit to take the gospel of Jesus "to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1.8)? Note, this is not an option but a command.
  • From Pentecost (Acts 2) unto our filling at salvation (Ephesians 1.11-14) the Holy Spirit is the one moving in our lives enabling us to experience the new covenant. Prayerfully worship our amazing God who fills us with His Spirit.
