IN THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
They were told that their messages were not for themselves, but for you. And now this Good News has been announced to you by those who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. It is all so wonderful that even the angels are eagerly watching these things happen.
1 Peter 1:12 NLT
The importance of the Holy Spirit, in the spread of the gospel cannot the overstated. No matter the oratory gift and prowess you have, it is never enough to save a soul from hell. No packaging or human preparation can do it. Except the power of the Holy Spirit.
For the gospel to get to us, men had to yield to the Holy Spirit and His power. And it will be the same if the gospel must flow from us to the world in efficacy. The goodnews was announced to us by men who preached in the power of the Holy Spirit. We cannot do less.
This is why it's all the more important to be filled with the Holy Spirit as a Christian daily. Your life itself is a message to the world. And if it's going to be potent, it's because the Holy Spirit will brood over it.
Don't think you can make God's word work by yourself. Learn to depend on and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. Prayer is a proven way to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Prayer and meditation on the Word. Be blessed.
Prayer: Dear Father, I thank you because your word is potent through me. I refuse to speak empty messages to people, but I choose to be filled with the Holy Spirit, speaking life transforming words to people in Jesus mighty name. Amen.
