When the Holy Spirit gives us supernatural authority
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
When the Holy Spirit is within us, we are given authority, effectiveness, wisdom, and a supernatural aura that enables us to testify about the Gospel and the claims of Jesus Christ as Lord. This is why it is important for believers to be filled with the Holy Spirit. However, the Presence of the Holy Spirit is not a solver-everything; other additional elements are needed, such as fidelity to the Word of God, holiness, integrity, humility, meekness, the fruit of the Spirit, obedience, a rejection of money and material things, and a total surrender to the interests of the Kingdom of God. We must conduct ourselves with a healthy and sacred fear because the Holy Spirit is powerful and delicate. We cannot neglect other parts of the Christian life and must keep all nutrients of the Kingdom of God in balance to avoid terrible downturns that serve as an obstacle to the movement of God in our lives.When the Spirit of God is within us, that Spirit of God makes us effective. God gives us authority, an authority that others will see in us and that will enable us to testify in effective ways about the Gospel and the claims of Jesus Christ as Lord.
That is why God told the disciples not to leave Jerusalem until they received power from on high, because the Lord Jesus Christ knew that these timid men and women who had fled when He was arrested and crucified, needed very serious treatment. powerful of God and that they had to be as strengthened in the inner being through the infusion of the Holy Spirit, which would enable them to effectively witness of the Gospel.
