The Promise Of His Power – Acts 1:8

“The Promise Of His Power”

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is
come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8

This is the fifth time the Great Commission is given, and
Jesus guarantees us His power. You say, Preacher, I want to,
but I can’t. I’m not strong enough. Listen, friend, neither am I.
But let me tell you, Jesus guarantees His power. He said that
you have the power of the Holy Ghost to win souls to Jesus
Christ. Every man, every woman, every Christian who wants
to see people saved and wants to evangelize their city and send
the Gospel to the ends of the earth can have the power of God
to do it, if they want it.
How about it, friend? Are you saved? Are you interested
in making the Gospel known? That is what is closest to the
heart of Jesus Christ. That is what I have in my heart. That is
what you are going to hear every time there is a sermon
preached from my pulpit. It is the great commission to the
church.
The great Captain of the church says, “These are my
orders!” May God give us men and women who will salute and
say, “As for me, dear Jesus, I am ready, and I will take Your
Gospel wherever you want it to go. I’ll be a humble, faithful
witness for Jesus Christ! Amen! & Amen! -T.M.
