In thinking about when the Holy Spirit was poured out during the Feast of Pentecost, on the early Jerusalem believers, I wanted to share this passage from Psalm 119:31-32...“I have clung to your testimonies; O Lord, do not put me to shame. I will run in the way of your commandments when you enlarge my heart.”
Brothers and sisters, we know that Christ came into the world to offer salvation to those who know full well that, on their own, they cannot keep the commandments with all their hearts. When, then, can we? It is when we receive and walk with Christ. It is then that He enlarges our hearts, through the Holy Spirit, to live in communion with Him; it is then that we can say with the Apostle Paul, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God"! (Romans 1:16).
