And The Son Stood...

AND THE SON OF GOD STOOD

Not too much was said of Stephen in the scripture, neither was there much in the mind of the disciples who chose the seven, other than to serve tables (Acts 6:1-3).

However, only this faithful one saw the son of man STANDING at the right hand of God (Acts 7:54). Jesus stood to receive this beloved and perhaps to defend him as we see him later begging Jesus not to deal with the people according to their sins(vs. 60).Remember who else made a similar statement? JESUS Himself did on the cross.

What was in Stephen that made the difference? Why did he have such a heart? What made his face shine like an angel (Acts 6:15)? What made his wisdom irresistible? What made the Father stand for him?
It was recorded of Stephen that he was a man FULL OF FAITH and THE HOLYSPIRIT (Acts 6:5; 7:55).These two cannot be over emphasized in this RACE we run. You needn't be a pastor, remember Stephen a man called to simply serve tables did great wonders and signs.

The Holy Spirit has been given to us by the Father, while some have failed to receive Him; some who have received Him have failed to fully utilize Him. In Acts 19:2, it says 'have ye RECEIVED the holy ghost since you believed?' Note, not have you been given but have you 'received' Him? The Holy spirit is a GIFT from the father received only by FAITH...

POWER POINT
You can receive and re activate the Holy Spirit and His operations in your life. Simply BELIEVE and Access it.
