THE HOLY SPIRIT AND THE BELIEVER
Rom8:13-16
In Leviticus6:13- ” A fire shall always be burning on the altar; it shall never go out”.
Jesus Christ left a definite promise of the Holy Spirit for believers. The question then is, what is the baptism of the Holy Spirit supposed to do to a believer? In this section, we shall concentrate on those things that the Holy Spirit should do in the life of a believer.
POWER TO WITNESS
In Acts1:8- ” But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the uttermost end of the earth”.
The implication of these promise is in three fold:
Empowerment of each believer by the Holy Ghost, the believer so empowered, is now to witness for Christ, and the witness should in turn become another witness, by the same power.
The word power is translated from the Greek word”Dunamis”. At new birth, what a believer receives is the authority of sonship. He no longer under the yoke of sin and satan.
The disciples of Christ, had this authority; but on the day of the Pentecost, they went into a new spiritual realm- they got power(dunamis).
” And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all”. Acts4:33
This is a result of the marriage between a believer and the Holy Spirit. Power to witness. The key of this spiritual power is the baptism of the Holy Spirit…. There is no other power….. You are blessed….. Jesus is Lord…………….
