THE GLOBAL MIND IN Christ (PART 24)

[Apostle Paul Johnson Asamoah]

WHY THE NEED FOR THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO OPERATE IN US:
i. Power to become: without the power of God in us we can never become sons of God. The Holy Spirit is to awaken our spiritual needs and point us to Jesus.
ii. Power to be: we have the power through the Holy Spirit for our daily living.
iii. Power to overcome: every Christian believer lives in a war zone. Before we become Christians we were on Satan’s side, but when we chose to follow Jesus we were put on the winning side, God’s side (ephe 2:1-5). The warfare we experience from Satan is far tougher after we believe, as he is tempting to stop us from following God. God makes His power available within us so that we have the strength and the know-how to defeat the devil (1 john 4:4).
iv. Power to share: ‘’you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witness in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.’’ (Acts 1:8). God wants us to be filled with that same power so we can witness to the life of Jesus not only to enable us to speak about Jesus, but that we also become like Jesus to other men and women. (John 14:12).
