Luke
4:14
And Jesus returned in the power
of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the
region round about.
After Jesus had
been baptized, fasted and tested by the adversary, He returned to His hometown
area in the power of the Holy Spirit.
His fame went throughout the entire region. Jesus’ public ministry began to be very
powerful after the simple act of being baptized, the disciplined act of fasting
and the difficult time of being tested.
He teaches us through His example that often times the power of the Holy
Spirit will accompany us after there are certain things the Lord takes us
through. The kind of notoriety the Lord
would have for us is the fame associated with His power and anointing. This kind of anointing is often given after a
season of purifying and maturity. We
mustn’t resist the various seasons we go through as believers knowing that they
are working for us a far more exceeding glory while we look at the things that
are unseen. Nothing is wasted in the
life of a believer and many of the simple acts of obedience, disciplined times
of obedience and difficult times of testing are His plan to equip us to be
effective in our home region. Trust Him
to use those things you are currently facing to make you a more powerful vessel
for His glory and purposes.
