  Welcome back. This is Kimmy Miller of Woman at the Well Ministries bringing
• 0:03
  you another Bible bit for you to enjoy.

  We have Holy Spirit power. Today as we journey through the scriptures,
• 0:11
  gleaning all we can regarding God's charge for us to be a witness,
• 0:16
  we're going to park in Acts 1.8.
• 0:19
  Here we learn of the amazing gift of God's power that the Holy Spirit brings
• 0:23
  to each of us when he comes to dwell in us.
• 0:26
  But ye shall receive power. After that, the Holy Ghost is come upon you,
• 0:31
  and ye shall be witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in
• 0:36
  Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth. Acts 1.8.
• 0:41
  It isn't just power. It is supernatural power that distinguishes us from those
• 0:47
  who do not know Jesus Christ.
• 0:50
  This powerful gift given to us from God is one that enables us and empowers
• 0:55
  us to tell others about Jesus.
• 0:57
  The lie that the devil keeps telling you that you don't know what to say and
• 1:01
  that it is best if you just keep quiet about the wonder-working saving grace
• 1:06
  of Jesus has no foundation in truth.
• 1:10
  It is just that, a lie.
• 1:12
  You must tell others about the saving grace of Jesus so that they too may come
• 1:18
  to know him as their Savior.
• 1:20
  You don't have to think of a thing to say or worry about how to string your words together.
• 1:25
  The Holy Spirit within you will do it for you if you just trust in Him and believe
• 1:31
  for Him to lead, guide, and direct you.
• 1:35
  Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not into thine own understanding.
• 1:40
  In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.
• 1:44
  Be not wise in thine own eyes. Fear the Lord and depart from evil.
• 1:49
  Proverbs 3, 5-7 Our power on earth comes from the presence of the Holy Spirit within us.
• 1:57
  The world isn't responsible for our power, so the world has no ability to impede our power.
• 2:03
  It is fully up to us how much power of the Holy Spirit that we use.
• 2:08
  Not unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or
• 2:13
  think, according to the power that worketh in us. Ephesians 3.20.
• 2:18
  The power of the Holy Spirit is within every believer, but we must be willing
• 2:23
  to live in such a way that we can readily access that power and that the power
• 2:28
  of God can freely flow through us.
• 2:32
  God isn't going to bless sinfulness and wickedness, and He doesn't hear the
• 2:36
  prayers of those who have iniquity in their heart, Psalm 66, 18.
• 2:41
  Therefore, to be the powerful Christian that God intends for us to be,
• 2:46
  we must commit and purpose in our hearts to live the life God has planned for us. Jeremiah 29 11.
• 2:54
  We must heed the word and follow Christ's commands to take up our cross and
• 3:00
  follow him. Matthew 16 24.
• 3:03
  It is fully up to you how effective your witness for Christ is.
• 3:09
  You must choose to allow the Holy Spirit to have free reign in your life by
• 3:14
  giving Jesus the supreme authority over your life.
• 3:19
  When you choose to set Christ before you, Psalm 1611, to follow carefully and
• 3:26
  to allow the Holy Spirit to flow freely through you, then your witness for Christ
• 3:31
  will be strong and effective.
• 3:34
  Today, let the Holy Spirit have his way in your life and show the whole world
• 3:41
  who Jesus is and how much He loves them.
• 3:46
  Remember you are loved. Jesus loves you.
