The Tarrying Factor

Welcoming the Spirit
Some people have formulas about how to receive the fullness and empowering of God's Spirit, some have seminars on it. Messiah said, "Tarry in Jerusalem". The word in Greek is kath-id'- zo. It means to stay, to continue. They had to continue in Jerusalem, in God's will and presence. If they'd only stayed four days instead of ten, they'd have missed the blessing. If you want the fullness and power of His Spirit, you have to kath-id' - zo. Stay, continue, and keep on in the will of God. Consistency in God is important. Many people give up before they get the blessing. The secret of receiving the blessing in God's Spirit is linked to tarrying. They didn't just go to Jerusalem and get the blessing, they had to stay there and persevere before they saw anything. The Spirit life is about continuing, abiding, perseverance, consistency, endurance, and continuing in His Word and will without giving up. Do you want to reap? Keep on keeping on, in the will and calling of God and He will come to you to fill your life with fullness and power from on high. You just continue.

Today's Mission
Make it your aim to keep on in what is good. Don't give up in the Lord, but press on no matter what.

Luke 24:49
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
He went on to open their understanding of the Word of God, showing them how to read their Bibles this way. He said, “You can see now how it is written that the Messiah suffers, rises from the dead on the third day, and then a total life-change through the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed in his name to all nations—starting from here, from Jerusalem! You’re the first to hear and see it. You’re the witnesses. What comes next is very important: I am sending what my Father promised to you, so stay here in the city until he arrives, until you’re equipped with power from on high.”

Have a blessed day and week.
May Yeshua Hamashiach bless you,
