Finding words to adequately define the promptings of the
Holy Spirit is no easy feat. Promptings
are mystical. They are phenomenal. They are intangible. And they're real. In fact, promptings have been present in the
lives of Christ-followers since Jesus left his bodily form on earth and
ascended to heaven. Remember? That was the day when He sent the Spirit of
God to take up residence in the heart of every believer. "You will receive power when the Holy
Spirit comes on you," He said. (It should clue us in to the challenging
nature of our mission that Christ would need to send a permanent source of supernatural
power to assist us.)
But what exactly was this power all about? The rest of the story from Acts 1:8 explains
that Christ-followers have a mission while here on earth. They are to be Christ's witnesses all over
this planet. It's as if Christ said,
"Think you're missing the book smarts, the street smarts, the looks, the
talent, or the speaking ability to accomplish this mission? Don't be concerned with those things, because
you have my mountain-moving, life-transforming, death-defying power on your
side."
