Acts: Week 3

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

When it comes to our faith, we are offered this power through the Holy Spirit. However we tend to do 2 things:

Not live a life that is necessary of the power the Holy Spirit provides
Focus our Christianity more on a comfortable life than a powerful life.

1 Corinthians 4:18-20- Some of you have become arrogant, thinking I will not visit you again. 19 But I will come—and soon—if the Lord lets me, and then I’ll find out whether these arrogant people just give pretentious speeches or whether they really have God’s power. 20 For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.

God, I want to see your power alive in my life. I want to grow closer to your Holy Spirit. I want to have inside out influence. Help me live by your power in my home, neighborhood, workplace, and circle of friends. I want to live for you and by your power. Amen.
