The Spirit intends us to benefit from the Bible

Do we really believe the Bible? All of it? Do we believe that the God who speaks in the Bible is willing, able and ready to speak to us? Do we believe that God will heal us and others through our prayers? Do we anticipate that God will perform his miracles to demonstrate his presence, power and blessing among us? Or, have we settled for much less as we read the Bible? Is it possible that we read the Bible with a detached kind of indifference? Do we filter it to find moral principles that boost our discipline but do not deliver us from evil, or lead us to be on mission with Him? A remarkable feature of Peter’s message is that he knew heaps of the OT and that he was willing under the Holy Spirit’s influence to not only recite it, but apply it openly in his city. Fresh power based on the Word of God, through the Holy Spirit.
