They asked Him, "Lord, will You at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?" And He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has put in His own authority but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you."Acts 1:6-8 - NKJV.
The disciples wanted to know about restoration. They were eager to hear about God's people Israel being restored to their God-promised status, land and wealth. Jesus answered that knowledge of the timing of this wasn't to be theirs but power was. They were to receive power, God's power; a power that restores and creates.
Believer, you receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. The Holy Spirit is the One Who brings God's power into your life and by His power He can bring enduring restoration of good to you.
Child of God, don't live today in your own power; live in the power God's Spirit provides! Copyright © 1998 P.F.(Simon)Measures
