And Peter said, Lo, we have left our own, and followed thee. And he said unto them, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or wife, or brethren, or parents, or children, for the kingdom of God’s sake, who shall not receive manifold more in this time, and in the world to come eternal life. And he took unto him the twelve, and said unto them, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets shall be accomplished unto the Son of man. For he shall be delivered up unto the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shamefully treated, and spit upon: and they shall scourge and kill him: and the third day he shall rise again. And they understood none of these things; and this saying was hid from them, and they perceived not the things that were said.

Isolation ≠ seclusion. In isolation, fear is loud; in seclusion, God is heard. Where are you standing in this season of uncertainty: behind the closed doors of fear or in the waiting room of God's sovereignty? As with the disciples, God can change our lives in one visit, but He needs a private moment with us first. Make room for seclusion and God will intercede!

One way to understand what God wants to do through us by the power of the Holy Spirit is to take a closer look at what He did through Jesus’ disciples by the power of the same Holy Spirit. Take Peter, for instance, the first apostle to speak up at Pentecost. His life is a case study for the kind of radical transformation the Holy Spirit brings about in people who put their faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.
These five reflections from scripture through the prisms of Jesus, Paul, Solomon, and Wesley, plus the subject of debt, are not exhaustive and, for the sake of continuity, are selective. I am not trying to say everything, but I hope what you read will bring a biblically faithful perspective, if not the whole story.
Anyone who has said a Big Yes to Jesus will want others to say a Big Yes to Him too. And yet a person’s conversion is often marked not just by a Big Yes but by many Little Yeses, and even some Healthy Maybes along the way. Join Mark Greenwood for this five-day plan and be equipped to kindly, sensitively, boldly, and patiently share the good news of Jesus.
