BLESS Every Home Devo Day 58 - October 22

Let’s set our hearts on H.E.A.R. (ing) from the Lord as we prayerfully read Acts, chapter 1.

• H. – highlight – i.e. Prayerfully take time to highlight or underline the words or phrases that stick out most to you. 
• E. – explain - Thoughtfully write out in your own words what you understand and why it’s significant. 
• A. – apply – i.e. – consider ways this passage connects to your life.
• R. – respond – i.e. – prayerful response with your heart to the Word for transformation.

Write your responses to your H.E.A.R. prompts and discuss with a near one or group. Look for opportunities ‘to do the book’ in your daily traffic patterns. 

The BLESS strategy simply observes Jesus and the early disciples. 

• B. – begin with prayer (we see this in V. 14)
• L. – Listen with Care (we see Jesus doing this by asking questions)
• E. – Eat (Jesus used eating as an opportunity to reveal Himself).
• S. – Serve with Love (Jesus washed feet! – Jn. 13)
• S. – Share the Story of the Gospel. 

Let’s ZOOM into V. 8 – Jesus commissions us – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” 

Pause and Pray – “Lord Jesus, I can bear witness of Your ___________________ in my life. I pray you would fill me with Your Spirit to effectively tell my story of Your great glory, for I humbly pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
