GIFT!

SCRIPTURE
Acts 1:8 [Message] 8 What you’ll get is the Holy Spirit. And when the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will be able to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all over Judea and Samaria, even to the ends of the world.”
Acts 1:8 [ESV] 8 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.

OBSERVATION
You believe in JC and He gives you HS, and with HS comes power. Power to be a witness about JC.
For me the question than becomes; "So who do I share Jesus with, not where do I share Jesus"
Who is my Jerusalem? Those closest too me. FAMILY
Who is my Judea? Those close too me. FRIENDS
Who is my Samaria? Church and Community
Who is my "ends of the earth"? Those people I'd never imagine God placing in my life, or placing me in theirs.

APPLICATION
Witness with intent.
Share Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, with family, friends, church, community and the unexpected, perhaps the unaccepted!

PRAYER
I've a gift, His name is Jesus
He is not mine to keep, He is mine to share.
I've a gift, His name is Holy Spirit,
He is the power that enables me to declare:
I've a gift, Love too spare.
