Holy Spirit in Us

Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, “Which,” He said, “you heard of from Me; for John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, “Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.  (Acts 1:4-8, NASB)

Tomorrow, 28 May, is Pentecost Sunday.  We remember this day the appearance by the Holy Spirit into the lives of Jesus’ disciples.  After the Spirit came upon them, they were preaching about Jesus, Who was crucified, buried, risen from the dead, and had ascended into heaven.  Jesus had told His disciples that He would speak to His Father, Who would then send His Spirit to them.  I’m sure they didn’t understand just what this meant.  They also spoke in various tongues so foreigners would understand them.  The people who witnessed this display thought His disciples were drunk.  You can read this account in Chapter 2 of Acts.

The passage above is Dr. Luke’s account of Jesus talking with His disciples prior to His Ascension into heaven.  Jesus tells them not to leave Jerusalem, “but to wait for what the Father had promised,” that is, the Holy Spirit.  Jesus then tells them that “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.”

Do you know that you are Jesus’ witnesses?  If you know Jesus, from the moment you believed in Him, the same Holy Spirit moved into your heart.  We Jesus-followers have the very same power within us as Jesus’ disciples displayed in Acts 2!  We must unleash the power of the Holy Spirit within so we can be His witnesses to the ends of the earth!
