2 Samuel 24, Lamentations 1, Acts 1:1-11, 2 Timothy 4:9-18, Psalm 85: Do you have the power? I have got the power! The same power that the writer of Acts was talking about when he told the disciples to remain in Jerusalem until the Spirit came. The writer went on to say:

Acts 1:8 “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

When we receive Jesus as Savior and Lord we receive the same power they received. That power is the Holy Spirit that comes into our souls. From that time on Ephesians says we are sealed with His Spirit until the day of redemption. That means until Jesus comes back to get us we are sealed or marked as A Child of God by the indwelling presence of His Spirit. Daily this Spirit guides us into all right walking with God. He also convicts of us sin. That still small voice you heart in your heart and mind is Him saying is that the right thing? And when we mess up He is also the one reminding us to confess and return.

Let’s think about the power that we have through the Spirit. It is the power that at Pentecost saw thousands saved at one time. It is the power that set Peter free from prison. It is the power that heals people of disease, demonic possession, and is the only way we are saved as He draws people to the Father.

All who have confessed Jesus as Lord have this power within them, but it is up to us to allow Him to have freedom in our lives. That freedom is for Him to work as we listen and obey. Oh my friends He can and will change your life if you are willing to trust the power and work of God in your life. Get to know more about the power and work of the Holy Spirit. Ann Graham Lotz has a new book out on it. That would be a great place to start to find how God can and will work in you through the Holy Spirit!
