Do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for it is not you who speak,

but the spirit of your father speaking through you, Matthew 10.

This is Max Locato.

Best I can tell, this promise of Jesus has not been rescinded.

On the day Brenda Jones went to see the plastic surgeon, she was in a battle

with breast cancer. She asked if she could share a story, and Dr. Pete politely said yes. He listened

to the story about the God who became a baby, then a man, and then a sacrifice for humanity.

He died for you, Dr. Pete, she told him.

The 15-minute conversation changed Dr. Pete forever. The promise of Pentecost. The spirit turns common folk into uncommon forces and turns those who are lost into those who are saved.

Matha Spirit do the same with us, with you.
