Experience God

Acts2:36"Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ."
37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?

Any wonder Peter laid out the first evangelistic message? I want his boldness. I want his conviction. I want his resolve. The Word of God is sharper than any double edged sword…..and it cut these Jews “to the heart”. When God moves and speaks….he elicits a response..and the Jews gathered here wanted to know from the Apostles… what now? Experiencing God’s Blackaby said that you cannot enter the presence of God and remain unchanged.

I’ve been in places and sermons when the spirit moves and its an awesome place to be. But I would love to see thousands come at one time to know the Lord.

God, give me the boldness of Peter, the same drive as one of these apostles who had seen you laid in a tomb and just 3 days later, risen and alive. God, save us from this corrupt generation. Give us a heart for the parrishing. God let us at ANC usher in Your Holy Spirit, so that people who come to a service will encounter You, Living God.
