Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
[2] The power to witness to others.
No need to get cold feet when speaking to someone about Jesus, and no reason to be afraid, or nervous about the possibility of being rebuffed when we are witnessing. The presence of The Holy Ghost grants us power and boldness to speak forth the words of truth and soberness regardless of the consequences or outcomes.
Those preachers who might choose the easy path of least resistance, by using smooth words to palliate the sinner, when it’s fitting that a person be made aware of their danger, are not powerful preachers as they may seem to be. They may scream, shout, and perform a whole lot of antics, but at their core they are in most cases weak time-servers.
In fact, it is because of a virtual lack of Holy Ghost power, why some professed preachers often find it necessary to resort to the external manifestation of miracles, to make up for the shortfall in substantive teaching. A proliferation of miracles in any ministry that is devoid of those vital truths of the Bible, is a sign of weakness, not of power.
Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
