But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth - Acts 1:8.
Our life empowered by the power of the Holy Spirit will be supernatural. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God - 1 Corinthians 2:12. God will fill us with the Holy spirit as we ask Him. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him! - Luke 11:13. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them - Acts 2:4.
Transformation
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord - 2 Corinthians 3:18.
Freedom
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom - 2 Corinthians 3:17.
Spiritual gifts
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills - 1 Corinthians 12:4-11.
Boldness
And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness - Acts 4:31.
Helps in our Weakness
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered - Romans 8:26.
Great wonders and signs
And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people - Acts 6:8.
PRAYER: Dear Lord, We thank You for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Let our life be empowered by the power of the Holy Spirit. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
Amen.
