God's Plan - Power for You to Share

You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. It was a promise Jesus made to His followers after He rose from the dead, re-iterated in Acts ch.1 v.8 by angels. There is one thing we can be certain of with Divine promises, they will be kept - whatever the cost. We have that guarantee given to us in 2 Corinthians ch.1 v.20 - it is in God's nature to be consistent, faithful to His own Word; not capricious. As a side note: as God's children, with His nature working within us to transform us into His likeness, we too can confidently expect to reflect this in our own personalities as we reflect Him through our lives.

The promise was that we would receive power. Power to do what? Not to merely empower us into being able to think nice thoughts about our own eternal destiny. Not merely power to make our own lifestyles a little more comfortable - but power t be able to reach out and transform the lives of those we touch; both locally and further afield.

Power to be able to stand up and be counted as a followr of Jesus and be effective in seeing others around you come to the same faith.

Power to bring about change in the social fabric of the world, to bring healing, to make this world into a place where God's will is done - as in Heaven.

That is a power worth sharing - and by definition, it will be shared - once you allow yourself to experience it. For it will not stay pent-up in complacency and comfort. It will break out. Just believe...
