ACTS : week 14

Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church

The Horse Whisperer
Acts 8:5-40

2nd division of the geographical portion
Judea & Samaria

Philip "whispered" about the Kingdom. (Had great awe for)
His name means he loves horses.

Who is Philip? An evangelist.
He wasn't always titled evangelist.
Philip was one of the 7 to feed the widows. (a glorified busboy)

He served where there was a need.
He utilized his gift of hospitality.
Whenever Paul was in Caesarea he liked to stay at Philip's home.
Which shows that even after Philip became an evangelist, he still hosted and was very hospitable.

If you have an empty glass and there's a pitcher of water next to it you could say the water is WITH you.
If you fill the glass with water from the pitcher then you could say it is IN you.
If you continue to pour the water from the pitcher to where it is overflowing constantly you could say that the water is UPON you.
God intends for the Holy Spirit to constantly be poured in and through you and be UPON you!

This is desert.

Things were going so well for Philip...and then this. He's commanded to go to the desert.

God gave him one command at a time.
When the Bible says lamp unto my feet - in those times the light only lit up the next step in front of you.

God can use the mundane parts of your life to weave it into His tapestry.

God raptured Philip and transferred him to another area.
