My Head Is Spinning

NLT Acts 2:12 They stood there amazed and perplexed. "What can this mean?" they asked each other.

THE MESSAGE Acts 2.12 Their heads were spinning; they couldn’t make head or tail of any of it. They talked back and forth, confused: “What’s going on here?”

Have you experienced an Acts 2.12 moment? Where you were astonished greatly by God? Well God has greatly astonished me today. I mean truly filled me with wonder.
I’m entirely at a loss.

Today I received a ministry opportunity that truly has my head spinning. Please pray for me and my family that we do the right thing concerning God’s will for our lives and ministry.

2 Corinthians 5:13-17 (Amplified Bible) 2Co 13 For if we are beside ourselves [mad, as some say], it is for God and concerns Him; if we are in our right mind, it is for your benefit, 2Co 14 For the love of Christ controls and urges and impels us, because we are of the opinion and conviction that [if] One died for all, then all died;
2Co 15 And He died for all, so that all those who live might live no longer to and for themselves, but to and for Him Who died and was raised again for their sake.
2Co 16 Consequently, from now on we estimate and regard no one from a [purely] human point of view [in terms of natural standards of value]. [No] even though we once did estimate Christ from a human viewpoint and as a man, yet now [we have such knowledge of Him that] we know Him no longer [in terms of the flesh]. 2Co 17 Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!

“No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief.” John Calvin, commentating on Acts 2:21
