"For when the Holy Spirit has come upon you,
you will receive power to testify about Me
with great effect."
~ Acts 1:8 LB

Bible Commentary:
Jesus promised the apostles
that they would receive power to witness
after they received the Holy Spirit.
Notice the progression:
1) they received the Holy Spirit;
2) He gave them power, and
3) they witnessed with extraordinary results.
We often try to reverse the order
and witness by our own power and authority.
Witnessing is not showing what we can do for God,
but showing and telling what God has done for us.
