Title: Allow the Holy Spirit to give you an experience of Jesus Christ.

“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, 

they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” Acts‬ ‭4:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts:

 and be ready always to give an answer to every man

 that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:” 1 Peter‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Point of Reflection:
Simon Peter, the apostle who had been with Jesus Christ for three years,

 denied Jesus Christ in His presence and within earshot when confronted by a little girl. 

He denied Him not once but three times. (Luke‬ ‭22:56-60KJV‬‬).

After Jesus Christ had ascended to heaven the same Peter stood boldly

 to preach salvation through Jesus Christ before thousands of people

 from all over the world- mostly total strangers.

 What made the critical difference? 

He and the rest of the apostles had been filled with the Holy Spirit.

 Jesus Christ had told them:

 "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: 

and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, 

and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.”‭‭Acts‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

 After being filled with the Holy Spirit Simon Peter preached Jesus Christ

 and prayed for people to receive the gift of the Holy Spirit saying:

 “For the promise (of the Holy Spirit) is unto you, and to your children, 

and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.” Acts‬ ‭2:39‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

People marveled at the boldness of Peter and John and the wisdom they spake 

and realised these men were of little formal education

 but then remembered they had been with Jesus Christ.

 So child of God earnestly desire to be filled with the Holy Spirit

 for He will give you boldness and confidence to face situations of life and to declare Jesus Christ to others.

 The Holy Spirit will teach you about God, He reveals Jesus Christ to you, He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 

He will be your helper and guide in things pertaining to the kingdom of God. (John 14:16-26).

Remember this:

The Holy Spirit is given as a gift.

 It makes the difference between weakness and power,

 fear and boldness, timidity and confidence.

 You need to earnestly desire the gifts of the Holy Spirit,

 denounce, renounce and reject satan and demons and every demonic influence upon your life

 and ask for God to fill you with His Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ  by faith.

He says in Luke 11:13 "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him" NKJV.

 You will never be the same again. Glory be to God.

 Do you earnestly desire to be filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit?

When you are ready-

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ,  today I denounce, 

renounce and reject every working of satan and his demons

 and every demonic influence upon my life.

 I acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of my life 

and I ask for, plead and speak the covering of the blood of Jesus Christ upon my life today.

 I ask you God in the name of Jesus Christ to fill me with your Holy Spirit right now.

 I receive the abundant outpouring of your Holy Spirit 

upon my life in the name of your Son Jesus Christ.

 Thank you Father for hearing me in Jesus Christ's name I pray. Amen.
