We do need to understand that when we gather in the body in Christ, this is the Lord’s opportunity to do spiritual business with his people. This, the church, should be a scary yet amazingly exciting place to be. We need to discover perhaps a much higher faith-filled expectation for the gathered body of Christ than perhaps we have at present.
Filled with the Holy Spirit
We have the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of His name. We need not a dog collar, nor to be regaled in fine vestments. We need not attend seminary, nor have a diploma in theology hanging on our study wall. Peter and John had none of these things but instead had calloused hands and smelt of fish.
