Holy Ghost Power
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

Holy Ghost Power

They were waiting in the upper room,

for the promise of the Lord.

No one knew of what would be coming,

yet they were praying in one accord.

 

All of them were quietly deciding,

just who would take Judas’s place.

He would have to be someone, who was there from the beginning,

and filled with God’s love and grace.

 

As these saints were quietly praying,

their praises were lifted higher;

the Holy Spirit blew into the room,

like cloven tongues of fire.

 

Every person with out any distinction

began to speak a new word.

The people, who gathered in town that day,

were wondering at what they heard.

 

Then as the Spirit began to move,

on those who would believe.

Many gifts were given that day,

to all who had faith to receive.

 

They would lay their hands on people who were sick,

and see them become brand new.

With power, they would open blinded eyes,

and cast out demons too.

 

One thing that all the believers had,

that was different from the rest.

The Holy Spirit led all of them,

and His leading was the best.

 

Always praying and full of joy,

they had all things in common too.

Every believer can have this joy,

because Jesus lives in you.

 

 All those things that they once did,

every Christian can do the same,

by placing their faith in Jesus,

believing in His name.

 

Just ask the Father for anything,

He will give it all to you.

As long as it lines up with His word,

and honors Jesus too.

 

There is power in the name of Jesus,

just speak it you will see,

as blinded eyes are opened

and those demons start to flee.

 

It is not because you have all the power,

or anything you have done.

It is because you speak in the name of Jesus,

the power is God’s Son.

 

So fill up on that Holy Ghost power,

and the enemy will stop his attack.

For when you stand in the hottest battle,

remember Jesus has your back.
