[48] You are witnesses of these things. [49] I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
Jesus
left us with a big job to do. We are his witnesses to the
world. The message must be taken to all nations beginning in your
home town.
But we can't do the job on our own. We need his power to be effective witnesses. Therefore Jesus tells us to wait and pray.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill and empower you. Pray for boldness. Pray for the words to say. Pray for open doors of opportunity.
Pray for God to be at work in those you talk to. Pray that they will be hungry for truth. Pray that they will be convicted of their need. Pray that God will be at work drawing them by his lovingkindness.
We are his witnesses. But we are not alone. Jesus has promised the Holy Spirit to be our helper and our guide.
With Joy,
Pastor Jeff
