A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas,( which is being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite and of the country of Cyprus, Having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet, Acts 4:36,37
Son of consolation as the manuscript reads, Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed, Barnabas. He was a Levite of the country of Cyprus and had land, sold it then brought the money to the apostles' feet. This was truly an act of love and obedience to the scriptures. Jesus had told the rich young ruler to sell his property and give to the poor, then follow Him. Barnabas was obeying the words of our Lord Jesus and was called the son of consolation. How comforting it is when the rich help the poor, for it, will be harder for the rich to get into the kingdom for it was like going through the needle gate in the Temple. The camels had to be stripped and bow down to go through the gate. This was hard for the rich people to comprehend and was a warning to all not to hoard their riches. What a lesson for us in this present Church Age as there are more rich people in the Church than ever before and we are told to give abundantly. It is more blessed to give than to receive. Whosoever sows bountifully will reap bountifully, but whosoever sows sparingly shall reap sparingly. Give and it shall be given unto you shaken over and pressed together.
#Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them and brought the prices of the things that were sold, and laid them down at the apostles' feet: Acts 4:34,35
This was the most generous church as everyone that were possessors of lands or houses sold them and gave the money to the apostles at their feet to give so that none lacked anything. This is how God intended the church to operate in the fulness of the Holy Spirit giving of what they had so that everyone was provided for. As we get closer to the coming of the Lord the church will need to do these things. For we brought nothing into this world and we will take nothing with us except the souls of those won to Christ for a crown of rejoicing at the Judgment Seat of Christ. It is my prayer that if you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior that you will do it now while there is time.
#And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus and great grace was upon them all. Acts 4:33
The apostles were all filled with the Spirit and great power which allowed them to give witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. This great grace was upon them all and it allowed them to turn the world upside down for Jesus. What a blessing and assurance that is to us for before the resurrection these men were timid as well as afraid. Now they have great power which proves that the Holy Spirit has descended upon them allowing them to bear witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We need to pray for that great power to be on us too as we witness to the resurrection. I thank the Lord for giving me this power too to bear witness to the resurrection and pray that my whole family will be used by God to turn people to Jesus Christ.
#And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own but they had all things common. Acts 4:32
Socialism in the Church that is walking in the power of the Holy Spirit is great, for all were of one heart and one soul. None of them said the things they possessed were their own, but had all things common. Income inequality would not be a problem today if the Church would have all things in common, but with a Democratic Government, it is not possible. There must be a Theocracy with Jesus Christ ruling for this kind of Government to succeed. That is exactly what will happen when Jesus comes again and the Government will be on His shoulders. He shall rule with a rod of iron and everyone will have their own fig tree to farm with. The lion will lay down with the lamb and they shall not harm in the holy hill in Zion. There will be perfect peace in the valley and they shall beat their swords into pruning hooks. What a day that shall be when my Jesus I shall see, that will be glory for me, as the hymn writer says.
#And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost and they spake the word of God with boldness. Acts 4:31
After the apostles prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together and were all filled with the Holy Spirit, then spake the word of God with boldness. This is the blessing of the Pentecost as every man understood each other in their own language. We pray for a move of the Holy Spirit in this pandemic as many are in need of salvation and Jesus saves to the uttermost. Let us lift up our leaders before the throne of grace and mercy so that we can live a life with all holiness. Truly we are seeing the signs of the last days as earthquakes in diverse places as well as climate change tells us that the Day of the Lord is near upon us even at the door. Jesus said it would catch the whole world unawares like a thief in the night. The scriptures tell us to watch and pray so that the Day of the Lord would not catch us unawares. We are of the day and not the night so let us walk as children of the light.
#By stretching forth thine hand to heal and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. Acts 4:30
I am praying for a miracle for my wife who is fully vaccinated but has contracted Covid 19 we serve a God who is able to heal by thy holy child Jesus. This same Jesus that healed the lame man is able to heal my wife and all those who place their faith in Him. He is our Jehovah Rapha and heals with signs and wonders. We must believe and trust God to the uttermost as He is able to save all those who trust in Him. So thank God for the signs and wonders as God uses doctors and medicine to heal us. So do not think it is a lack of faith to go to the doctors for healing because God gave them the knowledge to use the medicines to heal. They look for signs and wonders in the body for how well it responds to the medication. Monoclonal Antibodies are being used to treat those with Covid 19 and I thank God for giving doctors the wisdom of how to use them. God heals with doctors and without doctors as He healed this lame man who believed in Jesus then responding in faith got up and walked. We must get up by faith and walk to our Bible for faith comes by hearing the Word of God. So for us to be healed we too must obey the voice of God and rise up to the voice of God through the man of God.
#And now, Lord, behold their threatenings and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, Acts 4:29
Peter prayed to the Lord to behold their threatening and to grant unto thy servants boldness to speak thy word. How we need this boldness today to speak the truth in love. May the Lord grant us that boldness in these last days to proclaim the good news all over the world and that many souls will be added to the body of Christ as appointed by the Father. I thank God to be in the land of the living and to celebrate my granddaughter Charlotte's first birthday. It is a blessing to see your children's children and pass the faith unto the next generations to come. If the Lord tarrys they will need all the help as possible and for them to see how the Lord has lead us through all the trials will be a blessing to them. I pray for all the families that have lost loved ones to this coronavirus pandemic and that vaccines will be approved for the kids 0-11 soon. So for those of you who have not received your first dose, then go ahead and get it to protect the little ones who are not able to be vaccinated. May the Lord bless us to get past our political differences and do the right thing so that we can bring this pandemic to a close.
#Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? Acts 4:25
Peter is quoting Psalm 2:1 as for a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together to do whatsoever thy hand and counsel determined before to be done. God in His all-knowing could see this in eternity past and said yet will I set my king in Zion. Jesus submitted to the Cross by saying not my will, but thine be done. Now He is exalted at the right hand of the Father in heaven from which He will come again to judge the living and the dead. Therefore, it behooves you to receive the Son now as the Savior of the world by saying come into my heart Lord Jesus cleanse me of all my sins and I shall allow you to be Lord of my life forever. If you will pray that simple prayer by the power of the Holy Spirit then you have been born again and are now part of the family of God. When Jesus returns in the Second Advent we will be riding white horses with Jesus the King of kings and Lord of Lords upon the clouds to make the kingdoms of this world the kingdoms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
#And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord and said Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: Acts 4:24
The people were in awe after seeing what the apostles had suffered at the hands of the elders and priest then lifted up their voice to God in one accord by saying thou art God, which hast made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is nothing is too difficult for thee. We serve the Almighty God who rules in the affairs of men and we thank God for getting the Republicans and Democrats to work together extending the time to lift the debt ceiling. May this country take time out to cry out to God for deliverance from climate change which is causing all the damage in the environment driving up FEMA costs and the budget deficits. God is good all the time and He delights when His children repent of their sins by calling out to Him for forgiveness. If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sins, then heal their land. II Chron. II 7:14
#And being let go, they went to their own company and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them: Acts 4:23
Peter and John were released from the jail and returned to their own company then reported all that the elders and chief priest said unto them: what a testimony for they were victorious over all the gainsayers just as the scriptures said. The Holy Spirit gives us the wisdom of how to respond to those who ask a reason for the hope within us. I pray the Holy Spirit gives us the wisdom of how to respond to this debt ceiling debacle in Congress which could cause many to lose hard-earned money for retirement. The scripture tells us in all things with prayer and supplication let your requests be known unto God, then the peace which passes all understanding shall compass our hearts in Christ Jesus. I thank God for the Holy Spirit and pray that we did not quench the Spirit as He gives us utterances on what to do in these perilous days of apostasy that we are in. May we feed our families with the meat of the gospel so that we will be ready when the trumpet blasts come calling us home to the Lord in that great meeting in the clouds with the Lord.
