Jesus said to them… "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…" (Acts 1:8)
More than a hundred years ago, General William Booth, the founder of the Salvation Army, said, “The chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, heaven without hell.”
That’s as true of the twenty-first century as it was of the twentieth. Religion without the Holy Spirit is a lifeless, listless religion. It’s a religion without power. It’s legalism without legs. And frankly, it’s downright boring.
If you go after the Holy Spirit, you’ll discover that the Holy Spirit is coming after you. All you have to do is open the door to your heart and He’ll open the door to opportunity -- the door to what if.
