But
You Will Receive Power
When
The Holy Spirit Comes Upon You.
And
You Will Be My Witnesses …
Scripture
Acts
1
8 But
you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you
will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in
Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the
earth.”
Observation
Have
you ever heard the old saying, “Can't died in the cornfield”?
I
heard it when I was growing up. I can't remember whether it was my
Dad or my Mom or my Granny who said it, but I have never forgotten
it. I thought about that saying this morning when I read the first
chapter of Acts.
Maybe
you are struggling with something right now and maybe you are
thinking, “I can't do this”, well to you I say, “Can't died in
the cornfield and oh yes, my friend, you can.
If
you and I are believers in the Lord Jesus Christ then we have
received the power of the Holy Spirit, which is the very Spirit of
God Himself.
Philippians
4:13
13 for
I can do everything God asks me to with the help of Christ who gives
me the strength and power.
Application
I
“can” do all things through Christ who gives me strength!
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, I know people who are very sick and who are thinking that
they just can't make it. Show them that they can rely on You and the
power of Your Holy Spirit to get them through this difficult time.
The same Power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead lives in me.
Don't ever let me say that I can't do something. I know to say it is
to say a lie. Nothing is too hard for You. And You live in me!
Romans
15:13
I
pray that God, the source of hope,
will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him.
Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the
Holy Spirit.
