Hello
Everyone,
Breathing
on the disciples, Jesus was ‘saying’ the Spirit of God is the breath of
God.
He is telling us the Spirit gives
life.
He is teaching
us the Spirit empowers.
He is calling
us, and equipping us for similar acts of service that He
performed.
He is
calling them (and us) into the same ministry that He was involved in.
Jesus was
imparting to them the same POWER for ministry that He depended on.
Zechariah
records it best. (4:6), ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my
Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
In John 7
it is water rather than wind, but still there is a clear invitation to receive
the Spirit of God from the Son of God.
(John
7:37-39) 37On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and
said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
38Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of
living water will flow from within him." 39By this he meant the
Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time
the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
Jesus was
so insistent that His disciples receive the Holy Spirit He told them not
to begin the mission until they had been clothed with His FIERY
power.
I am going to send you
what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed
with power from on high.
(Luke 24:49)
Holy Ghost
Power is the key for life changing ministry.
Greater
Things Are Still To Come!
Pastor Phil
