Firepower

Suddenly, there was a sound from heaven like the roaring of a mighty windstorm, and it filled the house where they were sitting. Then, what looked like flames or tongues of fire appeared and settled on each of them. And everyone present was filled with the Holy Spirit and began speaking in other languages, as the Holy Spirit gave them this ability.
Acts 2:2-4 NLT

Have you ever thought about what it must have been like when the fire of the Holy Spirit came roaring into that room? Talk about your life-changing experiences! The power of the Holy Spirit on Peter enabled him to take to the streets and witness so powerfully that about 3,000 people were baptized and added to the church THAT DAY! The same Peter who - out of fear - had denied Christ three times...

Firepower is defined by the MacMillan dictionary as "the weapons available to use against an enemy." And that is just what the Holy Spirit does in our lives when we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit! He gives us the weapons to use against the enemy of our soul so that we are victorious in our walk with Christ. Have you received this power? 

Prayer:

Father,
We pray for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Your people! And we pray as Paul prayed in Ephesians 3:17a-10 that being rooted and established in love, we may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that we may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
