"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1:8).

Theres a difference between the Holy Spirit coming upon you and the Holy Spirit dwelling in you. From the day of Pentecost in Acts chapter 2, the reason for the Holy Spirit coming upon anyone was to take up residence within them. And thats what has happened with us. In the Old Testament, He came upon people to enable them to fulfil a specific purpose for a particular time.

Various individuals experienced this, including Elizabeth, upon whom the Holy Spirit came, and she was filled with the Holy Ghost: "And it came to pass, that when Elizabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost" (Luke 1:41). The Holy Spirit also came upon Samson, empowering him to accomplish mighty feats, but he was not filled with the Holy Ghost: "And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid; and he had nothing in his hand" (Judges 14:6).

Now, as one who has received the Holy Spirit, you have been endowed with power to accomplish extraordinary things. The Bible declares, "But ye shall receive power..." (Acts 1:8). The word power here is from the Greek dunamis, meaning the dynamic ability to cause changes.

Consider the significance of this: God says you have received the ability to effect changes. Why then should you remain in an undesirable situation, crying and pleading with God to intervene? No! You can change it. So, go ahead and effect a change.

After receiving the Holy Spirit, the apostles lived in the reality of His indwelling presence. Each one of them operated in the supernatural. Thats the same life Hes given you. Being filled with the Holy Spirit, youve been endued and equipped with divine ability to effect changes and walk in the supernatural every day.

Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for filling me with the Holy Spirit and empowering me with divine ability to effect changes in my world. I walk in the consciousness of your indwelling presence, manifesting your wisdom, power, and glory, in Jesus Name. Amen.
