Ye shall receive power The book of Acts focuses on the Kingdom of God which is given through the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit We too need the dunamos or dynamic power of the Holy Spirit. Prayer along with anticipation brings a unity of ones mind and desires into focus as the Power of the Holy Spirit immerses all followers of Christ who so respond. You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses Acts 1:8 A witness for Christ Power which influenced and worked through Jesus as He reached out to whosoever WHAT SO INFLUENCES AND WORKS THROUGH US? They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they spake the word of God with boldness Acts 4:31 Boldness involves freedom of speech being free of fear. It is a divine enablement through which spiritual power and authority are manifest in the lives of believers whose focus is on Christ being in that ongoing relationship. This is not a human quality but a result of being filled with the power and presence of the Holy Spirit FAITH is APPROPRIATED through PRAYER The work of the Holy Spirit is active, present and ongoing. The Holy Spirit releases supernatural abilities and skills and is the source of power and strength. The Holy Spirit cleanses the heart and attitudes that we would be a temple of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit convicts and recreates in the believer that which is good and edifying being completely absorbed into every aspect of ones being as we so respond to the love and mercy of God The Holy Spirit reveals divine truth and pours out of the love and compassion of Christ whereby we walk in His ways and daily commune in prayer and worship thereby being strengthened to be the vessel of His love and presence. The power that raised Jesus from the dead so indwells us thereby quickening our mortal body due to our confidence in Christ whereby the mind of the Spirit is thus evident and so manifest CONSIDER THE POWER WHICH INFLUENCED and WORKED THROUGH JESUS HE REACHED OUT TO WHOSOEVER JESUS is the same yesterday, today and forever JESUS FILL US WITH YOUR LOVE and PRESENCE |
