Standing Firm in Gospel Opposition - Day 1: The Power of Spirit-Filled Witness
Day 1: The Power of Spirit-Filled Witness
Reading: Acts 6:8-15
Devotional:
Stephen's opponents "could not resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke." This wasn't human eloquence or clever argumentation—it was the Holy Spirit working through a surrendered vessel. When we share the Gospel, we're not called to win debates through our own brilliance but to faithfully communicate truth while depending on God's Spirit. The same power that raised Christ from the dead is available to us today. Opposition will come, but it cannot overcome the wisdom that comes from above. As you prepare to share your faith, remember: you're not alone. The Spirit who empowered Stephen empowers you. Spend time today asking God to fill you afresh with His Spirit, preparing you to speak His truth with both boldness and grace.
