Do you know about the recent wedding of Queen Elizabeth's son? It was a serious royal wedding and I learnt that till the rest of their lives, the nation will be responsible for their feeding and welfare. This was the same thing that happened when Queen Elizabeth herself got married back then, and now its happening to her son.
The interesting thing is that the lady this son married is from another tribe and a black American/African or so. And now imagine who she married... She was elevated from the level she was to a higher level. Its no more news that she is made for life. Wow!
Its so funny to hear that at the wedding, only those with dignity, those of timber and caliber, those of the high class and the powerful ones all over the world were allowed to enter into the main place. That's Power!
Now to my topic, the power of the Holy Spirit is what will get us to where God has proposed for us. For us to move forward in life, we need constant and serious relationship with the Holy Spirit.
And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked Him, saying, “Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?”
And He said to them, It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority.
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be [a]witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Acts 1:4-8
Looking at the passage above, Jesus knew it will be dangerous for them departing from Jerusalem without being filled with the Spirit of God. If anyone wants success in getting a degree, getting married, travelling out, working for God, carrier, etc, one must first of all receive power.
It might interest you to know that people of the world can go to any length to do anything, all for (demonic) powers. So also, we believers will be demobilized without the power of God.
Why we need the Power of the Holy Spirit
~The strength of God
But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.
Isaiah 40:31
~The power of God takes limitations away from us.
After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
Acts 4:31
They were no longer afraid of anybody even after warning them not to preach.
~The fire of God
I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.
Matthew 3:11
You cannot touch fire anyhow. So no wicked work of darkness will be able to come close and one becomes untouchable for the enemy with the power of God.
~Makes you eligible to manifest gifts of the Spirit
Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.
~The power makes you to move from the realm of natural to the realm of the supernatural
You see things in the spirit about career, marriage, academics, etc, and also revelations from God. You are no longer controlled by the earthly things and no longer carnal. One is also no longer self-centered.
Lastly, we should be passionate about being filled with the Holy Spirit. It is high time we asked for this power and be filled. Matthew 5:6 says;
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
God bless you.
