To those who realize the importance of the Gospel, Jesus has promised the Holy Spirit. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, God’s kingdom will come and you will overcome the forces of darkness that have filled this world. Many religions and organizations of the world are saying things other than Jesus Christ. In this age, you must confirm and experience Jesus Christ who is the solution to all problems. In order to experience the working of the Holy Spirit, what must you do?

1. Identity of a child of God Acts 1:1
Your identity is a child of God. The moment you accept Jesus Christ into your heart, your destiny completely changes. Even though hardships or problems come, you do not need to fear for the Holy Spirit is with you and is guiding you. If you restore even a little bit of prayer of communicating with God, your desolate spiritual state will be healed and God will give you power. Then, you will enjoy spiritual strength, mental strength, physical strength, blessings of meetings, and blessings of finances.

2. Kingdom of God Acts 1:3
Jesus gathered His disciples on the Mount of Olives and explained about the kingdom of God for 40 days. You must find the complete answer in this. They firmly held onto the promise from God and actually prayed. When you believe in and enjoy the fact that God’s kingdom comes upon wherever a child of God goes, you will experience the Holy Spirit who is with you and enjoy God’s power. Experience the blessing of the filling of the Holy Spirit that the disciples enjoyed.

3. Power of God

God promised to give His power to the children of God who have received salvation. You will come to conclude your life through only Christ and enjoy the blessing of becoming a witness of Christ. Although you are weak and lacking, the power of God is great. You will come to experience the power of God who is with you through the Holy Spirit and be raised as a witness of Christ to the ends of the earth. Simply possess this strength and devote yourself to the work of sharing the Gospel.
