What did Phil Do?

"The Spirit told Philip, ‘Go to that chariot and stay near it.’ 
Then Philip ran up to the chariot …”
                                                                       ~ Acts 8:29-30

 

Philip prayed a lot, that’s why an angel appeared to him – God’s messenger knew Philip listened and would respond to the Lord’s Spirit. 

 

 

We can’t think we are ready to do good things for God, His will, without listening for a whisper letting us know what to do.  We have to be listening in spirit if we are to be used in the work God desires - in an instant, sometimes it may seem odd, Christ makes a request … remember, you are the servant of good, not the Creator doer of good.

Why would Philip have “RAN up to a chariot”? 

He listened, he obeyed, and he was excited to do what the Lord had told him. 

How else will you know what to do and where to go if you are to say to run to someone for a good Word they need to hear God?  Phillip relied on prayer in the now, why?  Because he was needed then!  Phillip’s heart quickened to God’s Word and ran!  Not later – that would be to late, the Ethiopian dignitary would have been missed, and the gospel not heard. 

 

God's work comes in an instant whisper, are you listening now?!?

 

Are you ready to run?!? 

 

What did Phil Do? He Ran!

Are you a Phil?

 

 

Pray, Listen, Run, Do,
