Rep Power: 20 Boanerges is on a distinguished road
Default the promise of my Father

Luk 24:49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.


Act 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
Act 1:5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.

Act 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.

Mat 3:11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:


This precious Holy Spirit, this awesome promise of God is the very source of life and strength to all who call themselves children of God. We receive power from Him. This power is used to glorify God in every way- whether that be setting us free to experience more of this loves relationship or preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to the lost. His moving will always brings the glory to God.
So let us be baptized into this great love and power, let us be immersed in and saturated with this beautiful Spirit of God until He permeates every facet of our lives. This is true freedom, this is life as it was intended- walking hand in hand with God Almighty Himself. Let us truly dwell in the fellowship of the wonderful Holy Spirit and then the world will see Christ in us- selah
