YOU HAVE POWER!
God can help us do everything with His spirit including
communicating with Him, healing, spiritual warfare, knowing
about sin, etc. Jesus says, “YOU WILL RECEIVE POWER
WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES ON YOU; AND YOU
WILL BE MY WITNESSES” [Ac 1:8 NI]. When Jesus talks
about being empowered by God’s spirit He mentions having the
power to witness. For some telling others about Jesus may be easy
and for others of us who are less out going we may need help. To
tell others about Jesus, especially people who are opposed to Jesus
or may want to kill a person who loves Jesus, can be difficult. A
classic example is Peter who denied knowing Jesus three times and
yet after receiving the power of God’s spirit, witnessed about Jesus
to the very men who had Jesus crucified [Ac 4:8-12]. Be comforted
that we have the power to witness when God’s spirit in us. To
receive God’s spirit, we only need to “ASK” [Lk 11:13] God. Have
you received God's spirit?
