You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” Jesus Christ spoke these words to His disciples after He had been crucified, but before He rose into heaven. This coming Sunday is Pentecost Sunday, when we celebrate the day that the Holy Spirit descended on those disciples.
Who is the Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is God Himself. We talk about the Trinity; God is God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God Himself, here on earth, living in the lives of true believers in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit is our Comforter; He comes alongside us and helps us in our weakness.
The Holy Spirit gives us power to live a victorious Christian life. The Holy Spirit does this by coming and living in our lives. Christianity is not just a bunch of rules we are to obey; it is the living Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit living in our lives each and every day when we accept Christ as our Savior and Lord.
So I encourage you — ask the Holy Spirit today to fill and control you and empower you. After Pentecost Sunday, the disciples had the power and the boldness to go and proclaim everywhere that Jesus Christ had risen from the dead. That same power of the Holy Spirit can live in you and me today
