In 1 Corinthians 2 v 4 & 5 Paul writes “my message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power, so that your faith might not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.” I don’t know about you, but I know I’m guilty of relying on persuasion rather than God’s power to save people. And, I wonder why I see such poor results!! Could this be linked? Yes!!
Jesus instructed the disciples in Acts to wait for the gift promised by the Father. This promise was of course the power of the Holy Spirit. They could not fulfill the Great Commision without it. When the disciples were filled with the power of the Holy Spirit people noticed. So much so, that God was able to convict and save 3,000 that day. How much more do we need Power from on High?
