L- B- Holy Spirit In Missions In the simple story of the primitive mission, as' recorded in the thirteenth of Acts, we see how every step in the enterprise was originated and directed by the presiding Spirit. We observe this: (1) In the selection of missionaries: “ The Holy Ghost said, Separate Me Barnabas and Saul for the work where- unto I have called them” (13:2). (2) In their thrusting forth into the field: “ So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia” (13:4). (3) In empowering them to speak: “ Then Saul, who also is called Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost said” (13:9). (4) In sustaining them in persecu tion: “ And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost” (13:52). (5) In setting the Divine seal upon their ministry among the Gentiles.
