“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).
The Lord Jesus said to His disciples they would receive power to witness the Word of God after the Holy Spirit of the Bible comes upon them.
Do you know you are a witness of the languages you speak, especially, your mother tongue? You are a witness of your mother tongue, because you have received the spirit of the language. Languages are written as invisible scripts in our mind.
God says if we continue in the Bible, we will soon receive the Spirit and the understanding of the Sacred Writings. The Spirit of the Bible will write the Scriptures in our mind as invisible scripts (see Hebrews 8:10-11).
Before we could obey the instructions of our natural parents, we had to receive the spirit of the mother tongue. That is why during the early years of a child’s life it is key to teach the child to speak and understand the mother tongue.
Nobody travelling to Spain, by behaving in a certain way, can claim to be a Spanish speaker. That is not the way. Spanish is spirit; you open your mind to receive Spanish words.
The only way anyone can receive the Spirit of God is by the Word of God, through the Bible. God is Spirit, which means God is Word, and only those who believe and open their hearts to the Word can receive the Spirit of the Word of God.
One must, first of all, believe the Bible is the Word and Son of God, before we can receive the Spirit of the Bible, which is the Father. It is the Spirit of the Bible that gives the power to testify that the Bible is Christ.
When we love the Word of God and keep the Scriptures in our heart, the Spirit of the Bible will also love us, and the Father and His Son will come into us and dwell permanently (see John 14:23).
PRAYER
Dear everlasting Father, I thank you for sending the Spirit of the Bible into our hearts, whereby we can have power to testify that the Word of God is Jesus Christ. Amen!
