Acts 1:8 (NKJV) 8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
We will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon us.
Are we walking in the power of the Holy Spirit today? Or are we trying to walk in our own fleshly understanding?
It’s important for us to understand that it is impossible to touch people’s hearts and to do the will of God without His empowering Spirit. Impossible.
When we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit we will accomplish much.
We will be prompted, convicted and prayerful at times to help people and situations.
The Holy Spirit knows what to say at any given time and He will not shy away from things that need to be said, unlike our natural man.
Our minds and our will may fight us at times if we have to say or do something that makes us uncomfortable or causes others to look at us differently.
When we walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, we can’t be worrying about our reputation. We have to develop a heart and mindset that doesn’t hold our reputation up higher than our obedience to God.
He will lead us through the Holy Spirit, our Helper, as we submit to Him
If we walk without listening to His Spirit, we will fail many times. And we will not be good witnesses for Him.
We must follow our Master. We are not our own boss. We are servants, and very much accountable to Him.
John 13:16 (NKJV) 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him.
Let the Holy Spirit empower us to make the necessary changes within ourselves, so that we can be servants to Him and a great witness to all the world. Amen.
