"I've Got The Power"

You know the scene in Bruce Almighty where he walks on water, blows out a fire hydrant, pulls a Marilyn Monroe stunt, and changes clothes with a manikin in a department store window as he struts off to the music of "I've Got The Power". 
Well he was able to pull all these stunts off because God had given him power.
Well.... Bruce Almighty was just a movie. But you know what...God does give us power!


Act 1:8

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere-- in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."



Power from the Holy Spirit is not limited to strength beyond the ordinary--that power also involves courage, boldness, confidence, insight, ability, and authority. 

If you believe in Jesus Christ, you can experience the power of the Holy Spirit in your life. Not power to use on selfish things like Bruce Almighty, but power to use these gifts to tell everyone about Christ. The disciples used these same gifts to fulfill their mission. 
So, what's your mission?
