“Empowered,” Devotion Series May 15, 2024 – July 24, 2024
Devotional Series for Pentecost
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
— Acts 1:8
Do you feel spiritually empowered? Remember, we can’t do the Christian life in our own strength and ability – we don’t have the ability to follow Jesus, be changed by Jesus, and join in the mission of Jesus – we need the Holy Spirit to be able to do these things.
The gospel is good news because it tells us that none of us are good enough or strong enough to do what Jesus asks of us. But God promises to give us the strength and ability that we need to please Him through the presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
Without the Holy Spirit, the Christian life is impossible. Unless the Holy Spirit is present and doing His work, nobody can be born again or grow in Christlikeness. Without the work of the Holy Spirit, we cannot accomplish the mission of Jesus.
So, as we go through this series called “Empowered”, I ask us to open our life – our very soul to the Holy Spirt. Because in our weakness, we can become strong – empowered!!!!
