Be Endued

After Smith Wigglesworth died in 1947, doctors are said to have found that some of the bone on each of Wigglesworth's knee caps was missing.

Later, in his house, others found two indentations, about a foot apart, on the wooden floor of a corner room.

Pictured are a set of footprints left indented in the wood floor by a monk who prayed in the same spot for 20 years.

What does consistent prayer look like?

It looks like constant power!

We must pray and ask the Lord to show us how to find that secret place with Him.

Concentrated prayer in the Upper Room brought the 120 to receiving the Baptism of the Holy Spirit and being recipients of the promises of God.

They gained the ability to have an uninterrupted fellowship with the Lord through the Spirit. 

They were empowered with gifts, boldness, confidence, new faith, power and authority.

They became sealed in their relationship and identity in Christ.

The Lord told the Apostles And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:49

The word endued means literally to sink into clothing, put on, clothe one's self.

 In the senese of sinking into a garment; to invest with clothing, to clothe, to have put on.

The same way we put on our clothes and stretch out in them, or put on a coat and let it set on and around us is the same way we are to allow the fire of the Holy Spirit, power and authority rest on and in us.

They were BAPTIZED in the Holy Spirit amd Fire.

In Acts 2 we read 1  And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2  And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

3  And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

4  And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Let us note that they were being obedient waiting in Jerusalem. We then see the fruit of their obedience.

1. They had been in prayer

2. They were in one according (agreement)

3. A sound came forth

4. The sound originated from Heaven

5. It was like the sound of mighty rushing wind

6. The sound FILLED THE HOUSE

7. It says that they were sitting

8. The fire appears over each of them

9. The fire sits on them

10. They were all FILLED with the Holy Spirit

11. They spoke with other tongues

The SOUND FILLED the HOUSE.  Meaning it was filled up, hollowed out and made full.

They were FILLED meaning they were accomplished, filled, fulfilled and furnished.

When the Spirit sat on them He literally took a SEAT.

The Spirit of God now residing in man can legislate in the Earth matters pertaining the Kingdom.

The King was now sitting upon the Throne of the hearts of His people.

This was only accomplished through obedience and prayer. They had to remain IN PLACE until they were CLOTHED from HEAVEN!

To many times we rush out and go before we are clothed.

The scripture tells us to PUT ON THE FULL ARMOR OF GOD. Ephesians 6:13

No soldier runs out NAKED into battle!

Every day find that place of prayer to draw on the Power of the Most High.

Tarry means to sit down. 

Literally sit down and take a seat until He makes you His Seat in the Earth.

Sit UNTIL YOU ARE ENDUED!

Take a SEAT UNTIL He FULLY CLOTHES YOU!

What long lasting results have we seen from persistent and consistent prayer? 

The impact can outlive our lifetime.

When it came to prayer Smith was quoted saying "I don't often spend more than half an hour in prayer at one time, but I never go more than half an hour without praying.” - Smith Wigglesworth.

The SOUND that fills Heaven filled the house and now fills US!

The Sound of the King and His Kingdom is now in us

Make a JOYFUL SOUND!

In His Service,

Jesse Griffin
