The Power of Jesus in you / Acts Bible Study (Part 6) / Chapter 2

David Hathaway

The reason I am speaking to you from this chapter in the Acts of the Apostles is that it is absolutely clear: what happened on the Day of Pentecost CAN and SHOULD happen today! This was not just a one-off. This is an experience that is to last throughout the Church Age as the evidence, demonstration and proof of who Jesus is. Today WE should be the witnesses! I wasn’t alive 2000 years ago, nor was I a witness of the crucifixion and Resurrection. But I know, the evidence is there, Jesus is the Son of God, He died for our sin, He rose from the dead, ascended to His Father in Heaven – and then gave the Holy Spirit to US so that WE also could become the witnesses!

The whole secret of my ministry right throughout the whole of my life for more than 73 years is the Holy Spirit whom I received as a teenager, when my father told me nothing serious would happen in my life UNTIL I received the Holy Spirit. As a result, as a teenager I sought God and prayed until that Power came on me – the SAME Fire, the SAME Power that was in Jesus, and that fell on Peter and on the 120 in the Upper Room! The reason my ministry continues today, aged 92, is that the Power of the Holy Spirit in me doesn’t change, doesn’t lessen, weaken or diminish. I would say, quite the opposite! The longer I live, the greater the Power in me. Because the more I know about the work of Jesus and the more I understand about the Power of the Holy Spirit, the more I desire this stronger Power that is from God. People who work with me, especially those on the mission field, testify that the Power in me doesn’t get less with age – it gets greater, stronger, and more powerful.

This is the KEY that I want to give YOU! If you really receive your personal Pentecost, that is only the beginning… That Fire, that Power in YOU should increase!

We should be seeing, living the same miracles we read in the Acts of the Apostles! This should be in the Church today! This MUST be in the Church today! I want you to understand, the KEY to the Power is here, in the Scripture!
