Shake Things Up a Bit!

I got Spirit, yes I do. I got Spirit, how 'bout you?
And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.(Acts 4:31)
Peter and John had been arrested for preaching the resurrection of Jesus. Even that could not contain their excitement for the Lord. In fact, they even witnessed to the rulers when they stood before them. Yet having been threatened to not preach Jesus and released, they were excited even more so! As we read above, the place was "SHAKEN"! What if we were so FILLED with His Spirit that the places we went and the people we encountered were SHAKEN about and turned upside down for Christ!
But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.(Romans 8:9-11)
His Spirit, if He truly is alive within us, can SHAKE UP and TRANSFORM where we go and whom we engage. is that Spirit alive and working within you and me today? Let's SHAKE THINGS UP A BIT!!!!
