Topic: What
You Need, What You Want
Many people want the touch of the Holy Spirit. The question you must ask
yourself is not if you can get, have, or hold the touch of the Holy Spirit, but who do you
want the touch for? Do you want the in-filling love of God for you, or do you want His
love for others? The people gathered in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost wanted the touch
and power of God to carry that power to others. The people in Jerusalem, upon whom fell
the Holy Spirit, could have cared less about themselves. So badly did those people in
Jerusalem want the Holy Spirit for others and not for themselves they were prepared to do
anything, suffer anything, even die, to carry the message of Christ to the world. You can
have the same in-filling of the Holy Spirit they had, if you are ready and if you are
prepared like they were ready and like they were prepared. The apostles received the power
because they saw the needs of their world. The apostles received the power because they
saw the burdens of the world, the tasks of the world, the dangers of the world, the
opportunities of the world, and they saw the hardships of the world. So ready were the
apostles before Pentecost they were on their way to be witnesses without the manifestation
of the Holy Spirit. Do you want the in-filling of the Holy Spirit to be a witness to
others like they wanted to be a witness or do you want the power fill up the emptiness in
your life? God gives the power to those who need His power for others. God gives the power
to those who are dying to do His work and to those who are willing to die to do His work.
In your life, when what you have to do is not doable…
when the mountain is too high…
when the water is too deep…
when you know and everyone else knows you can't do it…
That is when the Holy Spirit fills you and you do the impossible…if the impossible
is what God wants done through you.
