Is your life full of trouble and you don’t know what to do? Then take what I’m about to share with you very seriously. The Holy Spirit is the answer to the nagging situation in your life! When the earth was a shapeless and chaotic mass, it was the Spirit of God, acting on the command of Almighty God, that brought order into the universe (Genesis 1:1-25 TLB).
When persecution rose up against the early Church, they lifted their voices in one accord and prayed to the Lord. The content of their prayer in Acts 4:24-30 revealed that they wanted a sign from heaven. But what was God’s answer to their request?: “And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness” (Acts 4:31).
God responded by filling them with the Holy Ghost! When you read this Scripture further into the next chapter, you’ll discover that God didn’t come down to Jerusalem, stretching forth His hands to heal the sick as they prayed. They were the ones that did all that after they were filled with the Holy Ghost: “And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people…” (Acts 5:12). This is the reason Paul charged us to be filled with the Spirit always (Ephesians 5:18).
A man that’s full of the Spirit is unstoppable; he is indomitable. When He’s in you in His fullness, He’ll be your strength when you’re weak; He’ll be your wisdom when you don’t know what to do; He’ll counsel you on the steps to take in life; He’ll give you dominion over every situation of life. Once you recognise Him, you will never be the same again, Hallelujah!
