Unused Power

“...but you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth.” Acts 1:8

A.J. Gordon, former prominent pastor and founder/first president of Gordon College, frequently told the story of an American who with an Englishman was viewing Niagara Falls...

Taking the Englishman to the foot of the falls, the American said, “There is the greatest unused power in the world.” “No, no, my friend,” the Englishman replied. “The greatest unused power in the world is the Holy Spirit of the Living God.”

We have been given all the power we need to live, minister, and do the work God has called each of us to do. Our problem is not having enough power, but appropriating the power we have been given. God helps us to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit.
