LOOK:

It’s hard to read such an inspiring picture of how powerfully the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles and not wonder if we’re missing something. I think we all understand that every believer has the same Holy Spirit we just read about living inside each of us.

God’s Word tells us in Eph 5:18 to be “filled with the Spirit” because we need His power constantly if we are to serve God effectively. This is a request we should be making daily. So the first application is to incorporate into your prayer life the request to have a fresh filling of the Spirit.

The second application requires a viewpoint that the Holy Spirit would love for you to ask Him to be involved in all of your endeavors. Picture the Holy Spirit waiting each day for you to ask Him to empower you. Are we willing to yield to the Spirit every day? Will we allow Him to have all the spiritual space in our lives He wants? So here’s the suggestion: Not only pray daily for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit, but specifically ask Him to completely involved in every phone conversation, every meeting, every encounter you have, every email you write. Anticipate his power being released through you!
