Power to witness!

Acts 1.8
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

The reason Jesus gave us the Holy Spirit is so we could witness the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Jesus is alive. You remember, Peter couldn't confess Jesus in front of three people but after he recieved the Holy Spirit, he preached boldly and three thousand people gave their lives to Christ. That's powerful.

The day you recieved the Holy Spirit, you recieved power to be a witness of Jesus and to witness His resurrection. The Holy Spirit empowers you to be like Jesus in your thoughts, words and actions everyday of your life so that your witnessing to people has weight and is honourable. Lots of believers are very strong when it comes to preaching the resurrection but very weak in living the resurrection. This is called hypocrisy when a person talks but does not live it and such behaviours causes disgrace to the body of Christ. The day you accepted Christ, you are born again. You have the life of God in you. You have the fruit of the spirit in you. You have a great inheritance, an awesome calling and an exceedingly great power in you. When you realise who you are according to the word and live it, by the power that comes from communing with the Holy Spirit, your life will become a witness. Then when you talk, that talk has weight, it has value and it gets the attention of people.

Friend, it was the life of Daniel that caused Nebuchadnezzar to acknowledge and worship God. It was the life of Joseph that caused Pharaoah to conclude that there is a God in heaven. What message does your life give? What message does your life portray? You have the mighty Holy Spirit in you. Its not difficult, rely on Him, trust Him, talk to Him, expect him to teach, guide and show you things exactly like Jesus said. Hear him and do what He says. Fellowship with the Holy Spirit and He will make you a Champion, where your life speaks loudly than your words. You have the power of the Holy Spirit and therefore nothing is impossible for you. You are a witness and therefore you witness the resurrection of Jesus.
