The Empowerment of the Spirit
Acts 1:8 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 was empowered by the Holy Spirit. Jesus promised, before He was murdered, He would go to the Father and He would give the Holy Spirit to the believer. At this point after His resurrection, it was now time for that to happen. However, the believer must want the Holy Spirit. The word "receive" is a key word as regarding the Spirit. You must freely receive Him and when you do, you will have this power He spoke about. Not power to be god but to live as God, witness for God, carry on the torch of Christs message to the world. There is only one way I know in which to properly witness for Jesus Christ and that is to be filled with His Spirit. Have you received the baptism of the Holy Spirit? Isnt it amazing how now your desires have changed to be Jesus' desires?
