Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.

Acts 10:4 (KJV)

And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.

Acts 4

13 Now when they (rulers of the people, and elders of Israel) saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

14 And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

I had been looking for this verse and Z found it for me!😊 so I read this in a diff way this time and it became more beautiful to me. This is what came to me as I believe by the Spirit.

"Now when they (rulers of the people, and elders of Israel) saw the boldness of Holy Spirit perceiving that the men were learned of and not ignorant of the Spirit they marveled knowing they had been with this Jesus "The Healer"who was standing among them so beholding that they could say NOTHING against Him!"

I said all this to say "When you've been in His Presence He is amongst you wherever you go, He will give you boldness by His Spirit and you will know what to say and people will know and recognize "The Beholding One" who is speaking thru you!

They too will NOT be able to say anything against you for they will see Jesus "The Healer"

Good morning 🇹🇿🇬🇧🌏#cupoftea☕️Peter and John Arrested 1 Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Jesus the resurrection from the dead. 3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was already evening. 4 However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand. 5 And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes, 6 as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem. 7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, “By what power or by what name have you done this?” 8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ 12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” 13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 saying..#Acts4:1-37#PraisetheLord#WordofGod#newchapter#wordoftheday#versesoftheday#bibleverses#biblestudy#qoutesoftheday#prayernetwork#dailyinspiration#beblessedShalom#anzanamiBwanaYesu#biblia#NenolaMungu#Nenolaleo#Matendo#barikiwa🙏 #eastafrica#tanzania🇹🇿 #asubuhinjema#chai#Coventry🇬🇧#lifestyleblogger#vlogger #mswahili🇹🇿#rachelsiwa🙏🏽❤️☕️ https://www.instagram.com/p/CJGHBq3nSDm/?igshid=2u4pxea3xnf7

From all eternity God decreed to save some from the fallen race of Adam by showing them mercy. This can be shown from the fact that the Bible sees the elect as being chosen in Christ from before the foundation of the world (Eph. 1:3-5). Christ's work of redemption is also said to be planned from before creation (1Pet. 1:20; Eph. 3:11). God's purpose and grace that the elect experience during the church age was "granted us in Christ from all eternity" (2Tim. 1:9). Though decreed from all eternity, the salvation of the elect is worked out in history by God's ordained means. Salvation is by faith (Eph. 2:8; Rom. 3:22; Rom. 4:5) and not works. The key passage, Eph. 2:8, says that it is by grace, through faith, not of ourselves, but it is a gift of God. Salvation in its entirety is a gift, including the grace and faith that are the means of salvation. Humans neither merit salvation nor earn it. They receive it as a gift. The means God uses to bring the gift of salvation to sinners includes the preaching of the gospel, the hearing of faith, and calling on God's name (Rom. 10:11-17). We honor God's loving purposes when we obediently preach the gospel to all people as God enables us. Even though the salvation of the elect is assured from eternity, it is actualized in time through God's ordained means, including the preaching of the cross of Christ, with a call for all people everywhere to repent (Acts 17:30). Salvation is only in Christ. Jesus said that no one can come to the Father except through Him (John 14:6 and see Acts 4:12). Those who assert a supposed right to come to God on their own terms dishonor God and exclude themselves from salvation. God has revealed His loving purpose in sending His Son (John 3:16) and one cannot honor God without believing (meaning put one's full trust in) in Jesus the Son of God. Logically the first thing that happens in salvation is regeneration (Tit. 3:5). The reason for this is that the natural person, in his or her fallen condition, is alienated from God and does not accept the things of God (1Cor. 2:14). The person in the flesh (meaning all that he or she is as alienated from God in sin) cannot please God (Rom. 8:7,8). This condition does not change until a person receives the Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:9). Thus the sinner must first be regenerated by the Holy Spirit to be willing to trust God, love God, and come to God on God's terms. Regeneration is the same as being born again (John 3:3-7). As previously mentioned, salvation is a gift. Faith which is necessary for salvation is not a meritorious work, but is a gift of God (Eph. 2:8; 1Cor. 12:9; Rom. 12:3; Jam. 1:17). Repentance, which is also a key aspect of salvation, means turning from self to God. Repentance is granted by God, that is as a gift (Acts 11:18; 2Tim. 2:25). Justification (being legally declared right or just before God) is said to be a gift from God (Rom. 5:16). Therefore, everything about salvation is from God. There are many theories that are very popular in evangelicalism that deny many of these truths. It is supposed that salvation is "synergistic" (a cooperative effort between God and man). These theories do not honor God in the same way as the doctrines of grace described above. Theories that suppose that God's purposes are stymied and thwarted by His own creatures do not fully honor God. Such is the case with those theories that suppose that God intended to save all, but has failed in most cases. The truths of election from all eternity, effectual calling through the grace that comes to the elect through the gospel, and regeneration as an unmerited act of God honor Him. Sanctification is a concomitant of salvation, not an option for certain elite Christians. We are sanctified positionally as ones who are in Christ (Heb. 10:10,14) and practically in a progressive manner throughout our Christian lives (1Thess. 5:23; Heb. 12:14, 1Thess. 4:3). Sanctification is no more by works of the Law than is salvation (Gal. 3:3). Those whom God has effectively called to salvation shall by His grace persevere therein (John 6:39-40). The doctrine of perseverance means that God's people persevere in holiness (Heb. 12:10, Eph. 4:24). Any perversion of the doctrine that suggests that those who live unrepentant, ungodly lives are still saved (based on a claimed salvation experience) dishonors the God who has called us. God is honored by the holy lives of His "saints" (holy ones). Those who truly hope in Christ and desire to be like Him, are motivated to seek purity (1John 3:2,3). That having been said, those God has called and justified, He shall also glorify (Rom. 8:29,30). -B. DeWaay
