Ac4

Being "filled" with the Holy Spirit results in boldness to testify about Jesus. The Holy Spirit's purpose is to magnify Jesus. The Holy Spirit works for God's glory not our own personal satisfaction or experience.

Often when people talk about the Holy Spirit, they are talking about a "personal supernatural experience". Most of the time this experience made them feel better. My questions are simply, "As a result of "this experience" have you seen more fruit in your ability to share Christ with others? Are people being drawn to Jesus because of your testimony now?"

Jesus was clear in His teaching about the Holy Spirit. Acts is making the ministry of the Holy Spirit even more clear. He enables us to be bold witnesses for Jesus. He makes much of the gospel and strengthens us as we seek to advance God's purposes here.

Be filled with the Holy Spirit today. Speak boldly of Jesus and walk according to His commands.
