Acts 6:10 NIV
"But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave him as he spoke."
The Bible says Stephen was a man "full of God's grace and power" and he "performed great wonders and signs among the people." The religious leaders of the day tried to argue with Stephen. But they could not because the Spirit of God filled Stephen and gave him the wisdom of God.
Stephen was a "man of full of faith and the Holy Spirit". His power and his wisdom was not his own and he recognized that it came from God through the Holy Spirit. He was full of Gods grace and full of Gods power.
Stephen so exuded the Spirit of God that even his enemies saw it. "All who were sitting in the Sanhedrin looked intently at Stephen, and they saw that his face was like the face of an angel." Acts 6:15. God's blessing was on Stephen because he filled himself with faith in Christ and God's Spirit. And as a result, Stephen had God's power and God's wisdom, and nothing could stand against.
Lord, that I might be full of your Spirit. To be bold for you, to speak with your wisdom, to be able to stand strong in the face of opposition. May I reflect your Spirit Lord so that others may see you, may see your "face of an angel" in the things I do and say. To you my Lord and my God be all the glory forever.
