ORDERED SPEECH
Acts 4:8, KJV
"Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said unto them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Israel..."
The Bible often speaks in the manner we have above for a particular reason. It's to paint the picture of a surrendered life - a life that is being guided or led. A life that is not given to his own things but that which the Lord wants it to do or say.
Guidance or leading also has to do with what we say and with how we respond to people. As a matter of fact, when you're filled with the Holy Ghost, you have the greatest chances of responding in the most befitting manner because the Spirit will give you fitting words and lead you in manners acceptable. As for Peter, he was led to testify of Jesus again. So, when the Bible says, "then, Peter filled with the Holy Ghost said...", that place was trying to tell us that Peter's speech was Holy Ghost inspired and not outside Him.
How do you love that? You see, there are things you don't have to consciously take thought for. You only need to do one thing. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.
Colossians 3:16, KJV
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."
God's Word dwelling in you richly to overflowing is a thread to bring filled with the Holy Spirit. The manifestation of the Word is the Spirit. Be filled with the Holy Ghost. When you are given to God, God will be given to you. A man that has the Word saturates him is a man who will live in obedience to it. That's the type of man that the spirit can bend anyway he likes. God knows he'll be yielding. It is the way God wants a particular thing to be done that it'll be done. Why? He is filled with the Holy Ghost and being filled with the Holy Ghost, it'll be easier manifesting the Holy Ghost and its leadings.
What you must know is that how saturated or filled with God will determine your yieldedness. You cannot compare someone who's not filled with the Holy Ghost at all with one that's filled half way and then with one that's totally filled. Their obedience level and manifestation would be different.
That same testimony is written of Stephen.
Acts 7:55, KJV
"But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God..."
Imagine what Stephen was seeing in the midst of being set amidst the elders to explain himself. In the midst of that jangling and hard heartedness, he was seeing God's vision because he was full of the Spirit. A spiritual man always has a spiritual response for each occurrence. While they were acting as below and earthly, he was acting as heavenly and above. His gazes were turned to heaven. This proves that he is of above - from God and to Him, he returns.
Nothing beats being full of the Holy Ghost. That is when we can be assured that your acts and leadings are correct. That is when we can praise them for being befitting and fitting their times. That's when we can be sure that your decisions, responses and acts are from Him and they'll be justified even if contended with for the meanwhile - producing their fruits.
PRAYER: Lord, help me with the discipline to stay with Your Word that in turn can lead to the manifestation of the Spirit. I speak to myself - I am filled with the Spirit and I am led by Him.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 13:1–14:29, Acts 18:23–19:12, Psalm 146:1–10, Proverbs 18:2–3
