Christians have the power of God ready for action at each
life moment. But how does this work?
Ok, so Jesus leaves the earth but then a few weeks later his
spirit comes to the first Christians—the Holy Spirit. And what did that look
like? It was rather strange actually. Those first Christians could best
describe the scene as the sound of a violent wind seemingly coming from the
heavens, accompanied by little flames they say that looked like tongues that
came to rest above each of their heads. Oh ya, and also they could suddenly
speak in a different language.
Why did this happen? Was it for those in that room? Is God's power in the lives of Christians just for them to have an experience of God? No, no no.
Jesus had just asked the people in that room to go share about what Jesus is like to other people. There were many different cultures present, with many different languages. That day, when the Spirit of God came to those first Christians, God was equipping them to carry out his ask! The power of God in their lives was to gift them the ability to tell others what Jesus is like--in their own languages.
The power of God is ready for action in each moment of your life. Experiencing this power in play is by far the best part of life. As a community of disciples we spur one another on towards this experience of God's power in our lives, which ultimately serves to help others into that same experience.
This message is about this power of God at play in your life.
