The explanation of the symbol of the tongues divided by fire that in Christ now the world made of people who speak different languages can now be united. God’s message of salvation is for all and when the spirit of God is allowing men to speak in different languages we can see that the message will spread throughout the world🙌🏼
“And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.” Acts of the Apostles 2:4 NLT This is my God shot for today, as to me it highlights not only God‘s provision for his children, but reminds me that each of us have been given unique abilities from God to fulfill his plan. I pray today that we can all utilize our abilities to not only fulfill God‘s plan, but also find purpose in ourselves and remain faithful in Christ. God bless all of you today.✝️
Happy Friday my Bible reading family!!!! 45 days left in this wonderful blessed year. I was so excited to start reading Acts i read through chapter 4 before I realized it 😂. Have a blessed weekend and tell someone about Jesus today 🙏
Aloha, praise the Lord and good morning BR family. I love as Jesus ascends to Heaven and assembled together with the apostles and commanded them not depart from Jerusalem, wait for the promise of his Father, that heard of me. John baptized first with water, but this time he will be baptized with the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah and praise God because he is where the JOY is!!!❤
My Godshot was in the healing of the lame man AND the aftermath where Peter made sure God got the glory. Every true blessing in our lives is for our good and His glory! If He answers our prayers with a yes, or blesses us in any way, and we keep it to ourselves, the blessing is not complete. We must tell others about His goodness and faithfulness so that He gets the glory! He IS where the joy is🙏
Happy Aloha Friday and thank God for another day of reading his words. I commented already on my iPad. I finally was able to recover BR on my computer. Bible Recap is an amazing plan and I thank God for sending me this plan because he knew I needed his words. I am blessed with his love and as he said he would not leave nor will he forsake us. He is where the JOY is!
Good blessed morning TBR friends. Thank you TLC for the explanation. Never understood it that way. You made the book of ACTS very interesting. Eager to hear more. God bless you all!✝️
TLC, much like you try to plan things out before God acts 😂, I try to anticipate your God Shot every day. I love the way you surprised me by not talking about the arrival of the Holy Spirit but talked about something completely different. Well done.
9:40 God can sometimes works in mysterious ways, but one thing we can be sure of is that it is apart of his plan, as TLC said at one point “God does what we’d want him to do if we knew everything he knew” our God is so good and so wise, stay strong in faith my recap family!
Wow. Just 45 days to go. I’ve only ever lasted a week before when trying to read the entire Bible. Thank you for teaching me so many things this year!!
At the beginning of Acts we see God’s promised Holy Spirit come down as wind and fire filling the disciples. When addressing the crowd after they are sorrowful for what was done to Jesus they are told to repent and be baptized. Thinking back to how God filled the temple and even the tabernacle, I wanted to parallel the journey Israel took from Egypt, crossing the water of both the Red Sea and the Jordan into the promised land, baptism, with God dwelling among them, the Holy Spirit in us. However, the Israelites did not get wet in either the Red Sea or the Jordan. In Joshua chapter three God told Joshua to choose twelve, one from each tribe to go first with the ark to the river. Then God held back the waters as they crossed. It was not yet the right time and yet these things hint, foreshadow, what was yet to come.
Have to pay attention when you speak so much to hear and understand, He is the joy and you bring it to us. Thank you for being faithful to Him and his calling and thanks team for getting this done 👍🏽❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank God for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit ❤❤❤ Praise God!! Good morning bible Family have a blessed day in His Presence ❤️🤗💯He is truly where the Joy is ❤️
God is a God of His word, and Peter hid God’s word in his heart (Ps 119:11) so that at the right time, he shows Who Jesus is by relying on God’s word. In living out the Gospel with our non believing friends, we can rely on what we have learned in His word and the Holy Spirit will enable their understanding.
Thank you for this. It is a great reminder that we can trust the Holy Spirit will enable their understanding and our role is to live out the Gospel in our lives as an example to others. I want them to believe, and waiting for their change of heart is challenging and tests my patience. But I know that God's timing is perfect, and He has a plan. He knows what is best, and I cannot rush His perfect timing.
The Holy Spirit fulfilled the promise Jesus had made. Now God would be with everyone in their heart. His power was evident. 3000 conversions in one day is proof that God was working.
My God-shot: Rise up and Walk. Glory to God. No matter what is going on in your life I encourage you through the power of God and His living and active word to Rise Up and Walk. Whether your challenge is physical, financial, emotional, or whatever He is the death conqueror who has made a way for us. Let’s Rise Up and Walk. 6 Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Acts 3:6 Glory to God.
Wow!!! 3000 people were baptized in the holy spirit and began to speak in tongues as the holy spirit enabled them. Then they were baptized in water. (that's the way I understand it). Can you imagine a service or revival like that?!! Amazing 👏
Praise God for his power and wisdom! The foreign visitors were able to hear about the mighty works of God in their heart language- the one they grew up speaking! That is the impetus for Bible translation. People shouldn't have to study a foreign language just to know who their creator is, and that he loves them and has a plan for their lives! Here God once again makes his love for the nations clear, skipping the approximately 40 years it takes to translate the Bible into a new language, and revealing himself to them instantaneously and miraculously by the power of the Holy Spirit. It is no wonder that 3000 people were saved that day!
I had to go back and listen to the part about the 2 CVS receipts again to make sure I heard Tara Leigh right because she also kept such a straight face 😂
The Holy Spirit is coming! Indoor tornado, fire holograms, language convention! The next phase has begun. Peter preaches repentance and baptizing over 3000 people. Peter has been studying God’s word. It’s all in his sermon. Peter knows you cannot feed the sheep with food you do not have. God has the best ideas and plans for us. Hardly ever look like what we think they will. But because God knows past present and future He knows what is best. It’s so good knowing we can trust Him completely.
"Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off-for all whom the Lord our God will call.”' This is a promise we get to receive and I am so grateful. I am so blessed and thankful God called me and allowed my heart to be soft enough to hear and to receive. I see how special it is. I am flawed and need forgiveness. Lord, help me remember to repent, to feel the deep sorrow of my sins. Help my heart long for change to help my body and actions to reflect my repentance and Your forgiveness. Lord, we are flawed. Help us as Christians remember our flaws and be more humble. Help remind us to serve others, especially those who believe our God is not the One True God. Help us all be better examples to everyone around us. God, may Your Will be Done. Thank you for Your care and Love. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Just a thought; 3000 people saved, 125 people received the holy spirit, each of the 125 people baptize 25 persons equals 3,000. Very doable. God is in the details. He knew before hand how many were going to be saved, so he equipped the right amount of people for the task. Our God is Awesome ❤️
TLC, too funny. Was just at CVS yesterday and I know that receipt was as long as a roll of toilet paper. I laughed and laughed when you made that joke. I really enjoy all your humor. Keep it up. David
I felt excited this morning knowing we were stepping into Acts, but also a tinge of sadness about Jesus having left and no longer hearing direct words from His mouth. So much in these chapters of Acts. The Holy Spirit had come and the apostles were baptized with Him as Jesus promised (Acts 1:5) and they received power when He came on them as Jesus said would happen (Acts 1:8). Acts 2:4, "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them."
The covenant God entered into with Abraham is fulfilled by the coming of Jesus. The disciples are clothed with power from on high, the Holy Spirit. Jesus baptizes in the Holy Spirit as He promised.
I love how the Holy Spirit being imparted on the disciples is the reverse story of the Tower of Babel. Suddenly all men and women can understand what the disciples are saying, proclaiming the Glory of God, rather then men proclaiming for the glory of themselves!
Not CVS receipts lol. They are filled with the Holy Spirit speaking in tongues. Peter spoke to them to let the know they are not drunk. He also teaches repentance and 3,000 people are baptized this is powerful. Then Peter heals. My God shot was the baptism of 3,000 people it reminds me of when I got baptized at 12 years old that day 19 children where baptized most of us where family. He is definitely where the joy is. 🙌🏽🙏🏽
When the disciples asked about whether Jesus was now going to set up His Kingdom, He didn’t tell them no not ever, He basically said not right now. He said, “it is not for you to know the times or the epics which the Father has prepared.” The old testament thoroughly predicts a coming kingdom that will be earthly. I do not think the scripture portrays the kingdom as entirely spiritually realized. Just a thought.💭
Beautiful! Not only did the tongues spoken in Acts 2 seem like a miraculous reversal of the confusion brought about by God’s judgment in Babel, but this miraculous sign was also pointing to how through Jesus, the gospel and salvation would come/was coming to all nations of the world and not just the Jews - (Acts 1:8). I have a question though. Acts 2:4 states: “4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit AND BEGAN TO SPEAK IN OTHER TONGUES as the Spirit gave them utterance.” Why does TLC think the disciples were all speaking Aramaic? Verse 4 clearly states the disciples were speaking IN other languages (which they crowd also heard in their native tongues (vv8-11)). Did I miss something?
I have to disagree on one point... Acts 2:4 speaks specifically that the believers "spoke in other languages as the Spirit enabled them." They actually spoke the languages that the people heard even though they may not have understood what they said. Food for thought... James spoke about how unruly the tongue is. Doesn't it make sense that we allow the Spirit to control it?
The Lord, who is power, gives us power to live and walk through this earth to glorify Him. Before He ascends to heaven, Jesus tells His disciplesin Acts 1:8 (ESV), "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." When we receive Jesus Christ as Savior, we are given the promise of God's spirit that will live inside of us, which empowers us to live for Him. We must repent (turn away) from our sins, and when we do, we will be given refreshment in our souls (3: 19-20). Thank you TLC, for the reminder of the importance of knowing God's word. We must read it, study it, meditate on it, and treasure it in our hearts. "I have hidden Your word in my heart, that I might not sin against You" (Psalm 119: 11).
In the US, CVS is a pharmacy and typically, their receipts are quite long because in addition to your purchase, there is a long list of coupons/ discounts that you can use the next time you’re in their store. Hope that helps😂😂
She was making a joke that the receipts from the pharmacy store CVS, are super long in length. It’s not supposed to be a true statement, it’s just supposed to be a joke, as they are not really equivalent 3/5 of a mile or 8 football fields from the passages. They can however be a size of a person because the company puts many coupons on it, making the CVS stores receipts longer than any other store. 😆

The disciples have zero pride. They give all the Glory to Yahweh.
Yah make me more like that.

"The original Google translate" lol. Accurate! 😂
So amazing how God chose to reunite them thru language after it had first been divided🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I love Peter's transformation!! He went from denying he even knew Christ to preaching Him boldly in the temple! Only God could do that!!
Acts 3:25, "Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed."
