"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus"- Acts 4:13 (NIV).
God does not show favoritism, many times He has taken the societal misfits, the underestimated and the unappreciated...the ordinary...to demonstrate His presence and power. Jesus promised to send the Helper once He ascended to the Father, which came to fruition during and following Pentecost. The indwelling Holy Spirit convicts, empowers, guides, and protects those who ask, accept, and acknowledge Jesus as the Messiah. Do not underestimate the power of the Holy Spirit. He is God...in you, His redeemed...and no weapon forged against you will stand (Isaiah 54:17).
