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.”
Jesus is speaking to the disciples in this verse. They needed power to do what He asked them to do. He’s telling them that they cannot do it on their own, or by intellect. They needed Holy Spirit power; power from on High.
So what makes us think we can do these same kinds of things without the help of the Holy Spirit?
This is why we find ourselves giving up, not completing what we started. We find ourselves tired, beaten down, walked on, overworked, and simply irritated and exhausted.
How will we touch the lives of those who need Christ like this?
Jesus told them they would receive POWER. We also need this power, strength, and guidance of the Holy Spirit.
We, His children, His body, every person, every denomination and every people group need the empowerment of the Holy Spirit to fall on us, so we may do the things God asks us to do.
Cry out to God for the filling of the Holy Spirit today that we too may be full of strength and power to be all that He wants us to be, to do the work that He has called us to do unto the ends of the earth.
Acts 2:4 (NKJV) 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Let Him fill us today. He is faithful! Amen.
