The “power” believers receive from Holy Spirit includes courage, boldness, confidence, insight, ability, and authority. The disciples would need all these gifts to fulfill their mission. If you believe in Jesus Christ as your Savior, you can experience the power of Holy Spirit in your life.Jesus had instructed his disciples to witness to people of all nations about him (Matthew 28:19-20). But they were told to wait first for Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49). God has important work for you to do for him, but you must do it by the power of Holy Spirit. We often like to get on with the job, even if it means running ahead of God. But waiting is sometimes part of God’s plan. Are you waiting and listening for God’s complete instructions, or are you running ahead of his plans? We need God’s timing and power to be truly effective.--- Life Application Study Bible notes
