Fullness – Part 2

“Now the world awaits your presence
And this power is within us
We will rise to be your witness
Spirit come, Spirit come.”

The events in Acts 2 signify a moment that would forever change the life of Jesus’ followers and their mission on this earth. The promised Holy Spirit had come and a supernatural filling had occurred. In a moment, the supernatural interrupted the natural and they began speaking in other languages to the amazement of all who witnessed.

This filling was the presence of God making its home in the believers. But it wasn’t just God’s presence that made its home in them, it was also His power. And it’s this power that Jesus referred to as He prepared to ascend to Heaven and tasked them with spreading the Gospel to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).

This was no simple mission. In fact, it was impossible naturally speaking. Facing intense persecution, God’s Word and God’s love were the only two weapons they were given. But in spite of all the odds, the Gospel spread and followers of Christ were multiplied.

Thousands of years later, we’re still witnessing this multiplication. But we’re not invited to just witness it; we’re invited to participate in it. As a believer in Christ, you’ve been given the gift of the Holy Spirit, not as an accessory or add-on, but as the operating system for your life.

As you begin each day, remind yourself of this fact: You’re not alone. God’s presence is with you and so is His power.
