Power of the Holy Spirit

Just before Jesus left this earth, He made an extraordinary promise to His followers-they wouldn't be left alone, but would receive the Holy Spirit as their eternal Counselor. This divine presence wasn't just a consolation prize for Jesus's departure, but rather something Jesus described as "actually best for you," a power source that would transform ordinary believers into extraordinary witnesses. The Holy Spirit brings not just comfort, but real power-power for salvation, power to understand God's will, power to share Christ boldly, power to live holy lives, and power to make a difference through spiritual gifts. This same Spirit that revolutionized the early church isn't a relic of the past, but a promise for today, available to "you and your children and for all who are far off"-a power source waiting to be accessed by every believer who seeks to be filled.
