Power for Us 12/17 Thursday Thoughts

And before He went to the glory, He told His disciples that they should receive the power of the Holy Ghost upon them, too. Thus, through them, His gracious ministry would continue. This power of the Holy Ghost was not only for a few apostles, but even for them that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God should call (Acts 2:39), even for us away down in the twentieth century. Some ask, "But was not this power just for the privileged few in the first century?" No. Read the Master's great commission as recorded by Mark [16] and you will see it is for them who believe. -- Smith Wigglesworth
