Everyone in the world wants power. Many people want to be physically strong, so they spend hours in the gym. Others want to have more money so that they can be considered strong by family and friends. Others want positions of power so that they can be above others and have people answer to them. Power, power, power… everyone’s chasing power.

But the Lord Jesus showed us the only way to have true power…

It is written, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you;” Acts 1:8

The true power only comes through the baptism of the Holy Spirit. But the only thing is, this is not power to be on top of anyone else, or to make money, or to conquer houses and cars. The power that comes from Above is the power of character. The power to overcome sin, to overcome temptation, to overcome your own will, to overcome the world. That’s the real power, and that’s the power that only comes from the Holy Spirit.

On August 6th we will start the Fast of Daniel. This is the opportunity to receive the real power, the power of the Holy Spirit. Are you ready to do what it takes to receive this power?

May the God of the Bible Bless You
