(Nuggets from Acts 2:17)
God made a promise to the church for these LAST DAYS dispensation which commenced at the PENTECOST and will continue through till the EXIT OF THE CHURCH at the RAPTURE.
This PROMISE cuts across all tribes, colours, races, ages irrespective of age or geographical location. It started in the upper room, and ever since then, the HOLY SPIRIT has continually endued every QUALIFIED VESSEL who comes to God in need of Him.
Jesus knew firsthand the kind of power associated with the Holy Spirit. When God said, “Let there be” (Gen. 1), He demonstrated a make-it-happen kind of power. It was the Holy Spirit who executed His command. All that power was ready to be unleashed with just a word. Jesus wielded this same power during His earthly ministry; It was such a LIMITLESS POWER, able to HEAL THE SICK, CAST OUT DEVILS, and CALM THE STORMS. It was the same power that raised the dead body of Jesus back to life.
In the Greek, it is called DUNAMIS POWER.
The Holy Spirit was given to Jesus so He could accomplish every assignment given to Him. For us to truly be Christ’s followers and demonstrate the same works He did, and even greater works (John 14:12), we must be empowered by the same HOLY SPIRIT. It is impossible for us to walk in the same anointing and do exploits like Jesus did without it. This is why Jesus insisted that the disciples must not leave Jerusalem until they had received the promised Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4). Only after the Spirit came upon them would they receive dunamis power to take the gospel “to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8)
Just as the Father gave the gift of the Spirit to the Son and to Jesus’ disciples, He wants to give Him to us.
The HOLY SPIRIT is not an object, He is an INTELLIGIBLE BEING with emotions, the third person in the TRINITY; THE SPIRIT OF GOD HIMSELF.
God knows exactly what He’s doing by giving us the Holy Spirit to help us grow up in Him. It is truly impossible to be a follower of Jesus without the HOLY SPIRIT, and the Father stands by, ready to give Him to all who ask (Luke 11:13).
If the APOSTLES of old needed the HOLY SPIRIT, we, the church of the end-times needs Him much more, and as promised, HE IS READY TO RELEASE HIS SPIRIT UPON YOU.
ASK, AND YOU WILL SURELY RECEIVE HIM, SEEK HIM AND YOU WILL FIND HIM, YEARN FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND YOU WILL BE ENDUED.
This is HOLINESS CHALLENGE
