The Holy Ghost (Spirit) in Action - Scene 6 - Acts 4:1:12
The Holy Ghost continued its manifestation in the lives of the Apostles as Jerusalem became saturated with the intoxicating power of the Holy Ghost. The Bible says that as Peter and John spoke to the people, the priests and the captains of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them. They were extremely upset that these power packed men taught the people and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
They taught what they experienced having seen Jesus after his resurrection, they could not but attest to the reality of this event. This gave them complete assurance in Jesus words before his death," that I must lay this body down, but after three days I will take it up again", and after I go, I will send another comforter who will abide with you forever. This Comforter is the Holy Ghost in action, which gave the disciples the boldness to preach and teach in Jesus name.
The Bible declared that these opposers of the gospel laid their hands on Peter and John and arrested them and put them in prison until the next day. In the morning, they took these two Holy Ghost filled disciples before the Jewish council and asked them by what power or by what name have you done this?
The Bible says that Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, spoke unto the esteemed council - "Ye rulers of the people and elders of Israel, if we this day be examined of the good deed done to this impotent man, and by what means he is made whole - Be it known unto you all and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified whom God raised from the dead, even by Him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone that which was set at nought by you builders which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved".
The scripture says that when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men , according their evaluation of the schooling system of this world, they marvelled; and took knowledge , that they had been with Jesus. What they did not realize is, that what the Apostles had was the Spirit of God in Action, that gave these disciples the ability to percieve, understand and unfold the plan of God for mankind. This Spirit of God, is the only means for one to know and understand who God is, and additionally gives one the ability to speak to God and please Him in all their daily lives.
