Acts 4:13 SHOULD be one of the most exciting verses to any born again, Spirit-filled believer!
13 Now when they saw the boldness and unfettered eloquence of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and untrained in the schools [common men with no educational advantages], they marveled; and they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
How many times has someone said of YOU "They have been with Jesus"? Peter and John never went to Bible School! They had the promise of the Lord from Psalm 32:8!
8 I [the Lord] will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with My eye upon you.
Count on the Holy Spirit within You to do HIS part and "teach you all things"! Look at John 14:26:
26 But the Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Standby), the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My name [in My place, to represent Me and act on My behalf], He will teach you all things. And He will cause you to recall (will remind you of, bring to your remembrance) everything I have told you. AMP
Attending a Bible School never placed the anointing within or upon anyone! Time spent in the intimate presence of the One, True, Most High, Living, Almighty God of the Bible, by His Spirit Who lives in you, is the only "place" to receive that! So what are we saying? If God has instructed YOU to attend a Bible School, then GO. If He did not, then STAY! Whichever is His will for YOU, make sure that you spend time in His presence alone every day and then preach the Good News! What was it that Peter preached? Look at Acts 4:8-12:
8 Then Peter, [because he was] filled with [and controlled by] the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and members of the council (the Sanhedrin). 9 If we are being put on trial [here] today and examined concerning a good deed done to benefit a feeble (helpless) cripple, by what means this man has been restored to health, 10 Let it be known and understood by all of you, and by the whole house of Israel, that in the name and through the power and authority of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Whom you crucified, [but] Whom God raised from the dead, in Him and by means of Him this man is standing here before you well and sound in body. 11 This [Jesus] is the Stone which was despised and rejected by you, the builders, but which has become the Head of the corner [the Cornerstone]. 12 And there is salvation in and through no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by and in which we must be saved.
Preach the Gospel and let God take care of the rest! Amen! Here is Hillsong with "None But Jesus":
Shalom in Him!
