Acts 1:8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.

Imagine how the disciples must have felt on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit literally came down upon them! Picture that powerful scene: God made His presence known with the blowing of a violent wind and tongues of fire. Those who had been touched began to speak in other languages, proclaiming the wonders of God.

The disciples had been on a roller coaster of emotions. They had seen Jesus heal the sick, raise the dead, die on a cross, rise from the dead, and ascend to heaven - only to leave them to carry on His work. Now they were expected to go into all the world, preaching the gospel. How were they to accomplish this task? How could God have left such a responsibility in their inexperienced hands? He could do it because He knew, when the Holy Spirit came down upon them, they could change the world. So God sent the Spirit down - and the world has never been the same.

Do you feel weak? Incapable of running the race set before you? You already have the Holy Spirit, but sometimes you need to be reignited with fresh fire; sometimes you need to be refreshed with power sent down like rain into your soul. Ask God to send it down! At your request, He will pour down His power and refreshment to help you do whatever He has called you to do, no matter how weak you feel.
