Acts 2:43

"Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles."

I see in this verse the new believers enveloped in the Holy Spirit through prayer and fellowship. Because of this their "fear" was more of a wonder of what was revealed to them through Christ Jesus. They were probably in complete awe of what had been done through Him. I think they could see through His story the power and magnificence of God: His glory and majesty. All of this was so new to them that they were blown away when the apostle's performed signs and wonders in Jesus' name. These, more-so miracles, were revealed to the new, passionate believers, and to me, seemed to have opened a new element of faith to them that wasn't known before. The element that God can do ALL things, even the deemed impossible.

With this great trust the Jewish men had for Jesus, and the faith in God that He can do all things through those whom he strengthens (as reads Philippians 4:13), I am encouraged to step out of my comfort zone to believe God can do anything through the Holy Spirit. I personally, need to step out in my little box of what I believe God can do, and enter the realm of learning of all He has done and expand my trust in His wonders. With this stretching of faith I aim to be a tool of testimony that God can use as He pleases, surrendering my doubts in His works and fully trusting in His almighty hand. Because I want to fully believe with utmost sincerity that my God can move mountains.
