“And now I will send the Holy Spirit just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.” Luke 24:49
As Jesus was about to be taken up to set at the right hand of God the Father, he made it clear to his disciples that they were going to receive the presence of the Holy Spirit as God had promised. He also told that them that the Spirit would come to them with power from heaven. You and I are no different from the disciples. We also have been given this promise from God. We are to believe, receive with that belief, and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. God made this promise so that He can flow through us like a powerful river to impact others. In receiving the Holy Spirit, we will receive an outpouring of power and presence that overwhelms our hearts and lives. This power is given so that we can become overcomers with God’s power and not defeated by the devil and his evil schemes. It is important that we understand how our Lord speaks to us. We must spend time in His Word and swipe away the constant bustle of this life. We must be “Jesus First” and make Him the priority in our lives. When we run into troubles, we must think of Him and go to Him first for answers. When we are having good days, we must go to Him first with praise and thanksgiving. Our Lord must be a constant in our lives, and we must not allow ourselves to push Him away. We must recognize Him as the most powerful person we know and respect his covenants that have been graciously given to us. He is all powerful, forever forgiving and never goes back on His promises. We can depend on Him! We must believe, receive and act on his Holy Word! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
