“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” (Acts 1:8)
God reveals Himself and works
through the Holy Spirit. “Now the earth was formless and empty,darkness was over the
surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the
waters”
(Genesis 1:2)
“the Spirit of the Lord began to stir him(Samson) while he was in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol”. (Judges 13:25)
“The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him so that he tore the lion
apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he
told neither his father nor his mother what he had done” (Judges 14:6)
“Then the
Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him. He went down to Ashkelon, struck down thirty of their
men, stripped them of everything and gave their clothes to those who had
explained the riddle. Burning with anger, he returned to his father’s
home. …” (Judges 14:19)
“As he approached Lehi, the Philistines came toward
him shouting. The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him. The ropes on his arms became
like charred flax, and the bindings dropped from his hands. Finding a fresh jawbone of a donkey,
he grabbed it and struck down a thousand men.” (Judges 15:14-15)
When Samson disobeyed
God and shaved off the seven braids of his hair, his strength (the Spirit
of the Lord) left him and so his enemies subdued him. They seized him, gouged out his eyes and took him down to Gaza. Binding him with bronze
shackles, they set him to grinding grain in the prison. But Samson prayed
again and God helped and he killed many enemies and he also died.(Judges16.)
After Jesus was baptized,
the Holy Spirit came on Him and was with Jesus till the end. Jesus lived a
sinless life and taught the words of God and performed many miracles. At last,
He died on the cross on behalf of all the people of the world and rouse again.
Everyone who believe in Him and accept Him as Lord and Saviour will become the
children of God, saved from eternal condemnation in Hell.
God forgive the sin of every
believer and give them the Holy Spirit – to help them live a good life, to be
like Christ. All who receive the Holy Spirit have the power and blessings of
God through Jesus Christ.
Therefore, let us always
pray and ask God to give us the Holy Spirit with His power and blessing.
Write ‘Amen’ if you commit
to pray. God bless you.
