Jesus tells the disciples to wait in Jerusalem until they receive the power of the Spirit. But what does Jesus say that power is for? It's not to give them shivers in their livers. It's not to give them a great church service. The Spirit will give them power to be his witnesses in Jerusalem and to the very ends of the earth.

There is an amazing contrast between the fire of God in Exodus 32 and the fire of God in Acts 2. In Exodus 32, the fire of God's anger burns against the idolatrous Israelites and of them died in a single day. In Acts 2 the fire of God's Spirit falls and people are saved! The difference between the fire of God's wrath and the fire of God's saving power is that Jesus died on the cross to absorb the furious wrath of God for us so that we would never have to.

And Jesus commissioned us to take that incredible message to the world, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The greatest miracle that God will ever perform is the saving of a soul. It's a bigger miracle than healing the lame, giving sight to the blind, and raising the dead. When the sick are healed or the dead are raised, it's only a matter of time before they will be sick again and die.

But when someone comes to Christ in faith, they are healed of the disease of sin and Jesus promises, they will never die. Not really. For death is just the gateway to everlasting life. But another reason that God's saving a soul is the greatest of all miracles is that any of those other miracles God could do without Jesus dying, but the only way it was possible for God to save a lost sinner's soul was for Jesus to die on the cross. Recently I had the privilege of praying with a dear woman to receive Christ, and as tears flowed down her cheeks, the gospel came alive to her and she prayed for the Lord to save her and come into her life.

It's a miracle that only God can do, and it's the most important miracle that the Spirit came to do. Without the power of the Spirit, the information of the gospel can be transmitted, but it won't save a soul. The Spirit will always shine the light on Jesus and empower us to be his witnesses and in that witness bring many to new life in Christ! So we must be careful to always connect the power of the Spirit to the preaching of the gospel. We should pursue a growing connection between our daily life and the life of the Spirit. The Lord longs for us to enjoy a deeper and more powerful experience of the Spirit and His leading in our lives.

He invites us into the adventure of seeing God's Spirit move in us and use us to touch other's lives in supernatural ways. Keeping the work of the Spirit appropriately connected to the word of God and the gospel of Christ, how do we grow in experiencing more of the Spirit's leading in our lives? If you are a Christian, the Holy Spirit resides in you, you don't need to receive the Spirit, you have Him.

But there are biblical and practical ways for us to strengthen our daily connection to the power of the Spirit in our lives. Ask for, and expect, the Holy Spirit to work in and through you.

I have found a direct correlation between my openness and eagerness for the Spirit to work through me and His working through me. If I'm not looking for it, or expecting it, or even wanting it, it rarely happens. This anticipation is called faith. Living in a place of cynicism and skepticism doesn't please God, and when churches spend all their time explaining why God doesn't move, well, it's no surprise that God isn't going to move in those churches.

Ask God to pour out the power of the Spirit in a fresh way in your life and believe, as Jesus said, that the Father loves to give us the good gift of the Holy Spirit when we ask. Luke Remember that God doesn't need you or me. This point might surprise you, but there are so many needs around us that if we start thinking that it all depends on us it can be overwhelming and instead of being joyful and full of faith we can feel guilty and discouraged that we're not doing enough.

There's always one more soul to save, one more child to save from abuse, one more needy person to give our resources to help.

It will frustrate and discourage us if we think it all depends on us. Years ago we used to do free car washes and as people were waiting for their cars to be washed we'd talk to them about God and try to share the gospel with them. When we handed the leadership of that ministry over to a very sincere brother, he'd have us out there early in the morning and wouldn't want us to quit until 3pm at the earliest.

We had young kids out there who were getting exhausted from hours and hours of washing cars. When we tried to appeal to shorten the time we washed cars, he'd say, there are souls in the next car that need to be reached. Yeah, but where does that end? When is it enough? Because when you wash that one more car and share with that one more soul, there's another one right behind it.

The needs in this world are greater than any of us can ever hope to fill. That is a one way ticket to burn out and discouragement. God doesn't need you or me. Never has. Never will. The gospel isn't a "help wanted" sign, it's a "help offered" sign.

God isn't looking for helpers to assist Him in saving the world. He does call us to live generous, Christ-centered lives, but as J.
