19 And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So they said to him, “We have not so much as heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
3 And he said to them, “Into what then were you baptized?”
So they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
4 Then Paul said, “John indeed baptized with a baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe on Him who would come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus.”
5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 And when Paul had laid hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they spoke with tongues and prophesied. 7 Now the men were about twelve in all.
8 And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning and persuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God. 9 But when some were hardened and did not believe, but spoke evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them and withdrew the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus. 10 And this continued for two years, so that all who dwelt in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks.
Good morning and welcome
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

...... The Royal Food
Wednesday, October 16, 2024
In a beehive, the larvae are pretty much the same. But what the larvae becomes depends on its food. If it eats royal jelly, it becomes a queen. If it doesn't, it doesn't. It's all in what it eats. So, you might think you are bound to be as you are - living with anxiety, depressed, or in sin. But, what matters now is not what you were, but who you become in Messiah as you partake of salvation. You become what you partake of. If you partake of the divine, then you become of the divine nature in God. If you partake of righteousness, you become righteous. If you partake of the world, you become worldly. But if you partake of Messiah, The Bread of Life, you become Messiah-like. So don't dwell on or be limited by who you've been. Live by Who He is - and partake of it. It's true of bees, and also true of believers. If you partake of the royal food, you will become a royal creation.
From Message #963 - The Honeycomb
Scripture: Psalm 119:103
Today's Mission - Today, partake of Messiah as The Bread of Life and read His Word as though it is your royal food.
Every Christian receives the Holy Spirit of sonship and has Him in a measure when converted, but that is not what Paul referred to. He was asking about the Spirit baptism that John had preached: Matthew 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire. This has nothing to do with the new birth by the Spirit. It is the impartation of power for service. Luke 24:49 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.
Good morning everyone. My son and grandson should be here this afternoon. I will be getting family in waves, coming and going over the weekend.
