You are given the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth”…Acts 1:8

As a   believer, you are equipped with God’s very own Spirit. No greater power could ever be possessed by anyone. This is clearly seen: once the early disciples experienced the coming of God’s Spirit into their lives, they never again asked about earthly power. Experiencing the presence and power of God’s Spirit within their lives was the summit, the supreme experience of their lives. Nothing else was ever needed. It is this for which the human heart craves, and once God’s Spirit truly dwells within the minister that minister is supremely fulfilled and satisfied. Nothing else can ever satisfy-not position or authority, recognition or fame-not if the believer has truly received the Spirit of God into his heart and life.

The point is this: you have been given a task by God, a mission to carry out on earth. You do not have the power to carry out that task, not within yourself. The power of God Himself, of His Spirit, is needed. Therefore, Christ promises: “Ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you” (Acts 1:8). Both the Spirit of God and His power are promised. But note a critical point: the Holy Spirit comes upon you as an equipping power. The major purpose for His coming is to equip you to carry out your task for God.

Here’s how to ask the Creator to become your Savior:

Tell God that you want to accept his way to know true peace and joy.

Tell him that you know that without his help, you understand that you will be separated from the creator in life and in death.

Accept Jesus as God’s only provision to deal with your separation to deal with your separation from him. Invite Jesus, God’s Son, to take control of your life and place you in his care.
