From the cross ToPentecost

Where are we positioned? Acts 1:1-11 From the Cross to Pentecost

In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: Where are we positioned?

“Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses in

Where are we positioned? Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

Get Close Acts 1:4 ‘Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my father promised.’ 1 Corinthians 12:31 ‘Eagerly desire the greater gifts.’ Where are we positioned?

Stay Close Samuel 1 Samuel 3:19 ‘The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up and let none of his words fall to the ground.’ Where are we positioned?

Obed-Edom 1 Chronicles 13:13 Ark goes to his house for 3 months and he is blessed. 1 Chronicles 15 David takes ark to Jerusalem. V 18 Gatekeeper. V 21 Harp player V 24 Doorkeeper for the ark 1 Chronicles16: 4 – 5 Ministering before the ark V38 Leading a team of 68 priests who minister before the Lord.

Where are we positioned? 1 Chronicles 26:4-6 His sons and grandsons were also very capable men who minister before the Lord. V15 Obed-Edom is put in charge of the South Gate and his sons the storehouse. For us to have a lasting effect we have to not only ‘Get Close’ but ‘Stay Close’ also.

Where are we positioned? The Consequences How committed are we to seeing the kingdom of God being built? What am I prepared to do?
