Apart from the Holy Spirit, there is no
power. The Lord Jesus, just prior to His
ascension, commanded His disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they were
"endued with power from on high" (Luke 24:49, KJV).
Thankfully, our Lord did not leave us in the dark. He offered the prescription on now to be
endued with spiritual power. Acts 5:32,
"… the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him. " Complete obedience to God and submission to His
will are essential qualities for the Spirit's filling. The Holy Spirit will not fill a disobedient
heart. Obedience to the Lord must
include what God wants, not what we want.
