Email from Abiding Place Daily Bread – January 22, 2025 (The Fourth Day – Genesis 1:14-19) Acts 4:29-31 – And now, Lord, look upon their threats and give to Your servants all boldness to speak Your Word, by stretching out Your hand to heal and perform miracles and wonders through the Name of Your holy child Jesus.” And having prayed, the place was shaken in which they were assembled, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the Word of God with boldness. Father’s Devotion to Jesus’ Name Being Exalted A hindering misconception – in the minds of many who fail to go to their knees and to their Bibles to hear the will of the Father – is understanding how it is Father’s will that these signs, wonders, and miracles take place so there may be proof of the Resurrection and the Name of Jesus may be glorified among all nations (John 16:13-15, 14:12; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5,8, 2:33, 3:16). The Father is devoted to the Name of Jesus being exalted, and the Holy Spirit has come so we may function in the power of the Kingdom for this purpose. If we fail to believe and move with expectation that these things will happen, we will discover ourselves in a prison of doubt and despondency. Miracles, signs and, wonders confirm the Good News – and when we go, He also goes with us confirming His Word (Mark 16:20; Acts 8:5-7,12, 19:8,11-12). When we stretch out our hands upon the sick and tormented, Father stretches forth His hand upon them too. The Father has sent us in the authority of the Kingdom to heal and to save in Jesus Name. This is the Gospel – The Good News! (John 20:21; Mark 16:16-18). Because the disciples were not willing to back down from the will of God, but cried out for more, the place was shaken and they were all filled again to function in all those things which the Father demands!
