Power to Tell the Whole World About Jesus!

For forty days after Jesus had suffered and died, he proved in many ways that he had been raised from death. He appeared to his apostles and spoke to them about God's kingdom.  While he was still with them, he said: Don't leave Jerusalem yet. Wait here for the Father to give you the Holy Spirit, just as I told you he has promised to do.  John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.  While the apostles were still with Jesus, they asked him, "Lord, are you now going to give Israel its own king again?"  Jesus said to them, "You don't need to know the time of those events that only the Father controls.  But the Holy Spirit will come upon you and give you power. Then you will tell everyone about me in Jerusalem, in all Judea, in Samaria, and everywhere in the world."

Acts 1: 3 - 8

When the Holy Spirit gave the apostles power, what were they then able to do?  Most people think the apostles were empowered to do miracles, and they were.  But there is a much more important application of the Power of God working through those who love Jesus.  It is the power to tell everyone in the world about Jesus!

The fact that you are reading or listening to this blog is a part of that Power!  I am sitting in my home study in the United States at 4:30 in the morning writing these words.  And within about an hour or maybe two people all over the world will have access to this message.  I don’t know who or where you are but I can send out a message about Jesus which is available to anyone who can get on the internet.  

I make no bragging claims about how many people see these messages.  From the statistics available from “Blogger” it appears that an average of about 50 people a day log on and see them.  It does tell me what countries see them and that number is about 10 a day.  I also put them on Facebook, but I have just learned that Facebook may be limiting the exposure of the messages to about 25 of my “friends.”

Here is the most important point.  If the Holy Spirit has given you Power, use that Power to tell others about Jesus.  Tell them on the bus as you ride to work.  Tell them on the cell phone and tell them as you sit on your front porch and see them walking by.  If He gives you the Power to heal the sick or even raise the dead, then always tell them about Jesus and how His Power did it!  

“Lord Jesus, Your Power is great enough to give us the means to spread the Message about You to the entire world!  May Your Holy Name be Praised now and forever.  Amen.”
