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.”

There are too many Christians with zeal and commitment, but without the power, and a direct result of that is a lot of mediocre witnessing. Jesus would not tell us about receiving the power if we did not need it.

The word translated as power in the above scripture really means ability. Without the power of the Holy Spirit, we do not have the supernatural ability to be as effective as we can be.

We are not only workers for God; we are workers with God. That is very important to remember as we go our way! This power-relationship implies that God is doing something, and He is privileging us to assist Him. However, you cannot be a worker with God without His power.

This makes it vitally important for us to not only find out what our assignment from God is, but also to get a personal understanding of His power so we can fulfill that assignment. That is why we need to be filled with the Holy Spirit - so we can operate in the power and ability of God.

Go to your prayer closet listen to God and speak what He speaks, and do what He is doing! Your life is about to be quickened by the Spirit of the living God!
