You're His Witness Today.
But you will receive a power, the holy spirit on you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in la, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).
The Apostles of the primitive church demonstrated so much power and excellence of the spirit as they proclaimed the gospel, bringing many people to the righteousness of God. Before their prowess and spiritual feats the promise made by Jesus, which we read in our verse of openness, has been accomplished. It was their secret and without advantage: The Holy Spirit to live in them.
Take, for example, Pierre, who then, for fear, denied Jesus in front of a young girl. After receiving the Holy Spirit, the same stone courageously preached the gospel to a teeming crowd with three thousand souls giving their hearts to Christ at once (Actes2:41).
The same thing happened with the Apostle Paul after receiving the Holy Spirit. Acts 9:20 tells us that he went straight to synagogues and started preaching that Jesus was the son of God. In 1 Corinthians 2:4, he said, " my word and my preaching did not rest on persuasive speeches of wisdom, but on a demonstration of spirit and power." he has so demonstrated the power of God On The Island of Malta, the natives concluded that he was a God (Acts 28:1-6).
Today, the same holy spirit lives in you. He came to make you testify to the glory, power and reality of the kingdom of God. 2 Corinthians 3:6 (amp) said: "it is he who has qualified us"[ Made fit and worthy and sufficient] as ministers and providers of a new alliance [of salvation by Christ...]" preach the gospel without fear, and while you do it, the holy spirit will lead you, guide you, and you will dynamisera ; it will put power in your words. Just as he did with the first apostles, he will confirm the message with undeniable signs, signs and miracles (Marc 16:20).
This is your day. It's your time. The Apostles went to heaven. We are those who are on the stage now, chosen to make known the glories, excellence, virtues and perfections of Christ in the world. Hallelujah!
Prayer.
Dear Heavenly Father, I am so grateful to you for making me an effective witness of your Power, your glory and your grace in the world. I take my place as an effective minister of the gospel, delivering sinners from darkness to light, and from sin to justice, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Acts 26:16-18 " but stand up, and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you to make you minister and witness of the things you have seen and those for which I will apparaîtrai you. I chose you from the middle of this people and from the middle of the pagans, to whom I sent you, so that you would open their eyes, so that they would pass from darkness to the light and the power of Satan to God, so that they would Receive, by faith in me, the forgiveness of sins and inheritance with the sanctified."
2 Corinthians 3:5-6 " it is not to say that we are by ourselves able to conceive something as coming from ourselves. Our ability, on the contrary, comes from God. He also made us capable of being ministers of a new alliance, not of the letter, but of the spirit; for the letter kills, but the spirit vivifie."
Marc 16:15 " then he said to them: go by everyone, and preach the good news to all creation."
