Thoughts and Intents of the Heart

If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth Him not, neither knoweth Him: but you know Him; for He dwells with you, and shall be in you. (John 14).

You shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you. (Acts 1) Repent, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2)

Peter and John filled with the Holy Ghost spoke boldly in the name of Jesus. The Saducess, Pharisees and political leaders of the time said, I thought we told you not to speak anymore in this man's name.  They put them in jail and the Lord's angels came and got them out without even opening or unlocking the gates. (Acts 4)

The next day, they were found speaking boldly in Jesus' name. (Acts 2). They were approached by rulers, and elders, and scribes.  Annas the high priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and their family and friends (Acts 4) And they made a circle and sat them down in the middle and asked by what power, or by what name are you healing the sick, opening blind eyes (Acts 4) and performing exploits (Daniel 11)?

The Lord God, hast prepared a table for us in the presence of our enemies. (Psalm 23) Jesus knew what was in the hearts of the high priests, pharisees, saducees, political leaders, their friends and families; but, He did not commit Himself unto them (John 2)  

Jesus is the Word who became flesh.(John 1) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, a discerner of thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12)

Exercise your authority to tread on serpents and to cast out demons. You are the head and not the tail. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Exercise your holy boldness.
