“But ye shall receive power” Acts 1:8. This is the key verse in the book of Acts. The primary purpose of the baptism in the Spirit is the receiving of power to witness for Christ. This is to win the lost to Him and to teach them to follow all that Christ commanded.
There is a divine energy that fills and dwells within the hearts and souls of believers in God. God does not call us to speculate about the nature of this power. He desires that we use it to partner with Him in His purposes here on earth.
This “power” means more than strength or ability; it designates primarily power in action. The end result is that Christ is known, loved, honored, praised, and made LORD of God’s chosen people (cf. Matt. 28:18—20; Luke 24:49; John 5:23; 15:26-27).
So, if you are connected to the power source, are you using your God-given power for His work?
