THE HOLY SPIRIT POWER (APOSTLE EMMANUEL A ADJEI) by Devotional Light Church / Apostle Emmanuel A Adjei

Jesus Changes Everything | Restored & Sent After the resurrection, Jesus didn't wait for the disciples to figure things out — He met them in the middle of their fear, behind locked doors, and changed everything. In John 20:19–23, we see the risen Jesus offer four things we all desperately need: His presence, His peace, His power, and His purpose. Because of His victory over the grave, we don't have to rely on our own strength to navigate life's fears and uncertainties. Jesus steps into our lives, breathes new life into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, and calls us to live boldly for Him. Key Insights: • Jesus meets us in our fear — not after we've fixed it • The peace Jesus gives is deeper than circumstances • Jesus offers what no one else can: peace, power, and purpose • Every believer is called and empowered to be sent • The resurrection isn't the end of the story — it's the beginning of new life Key Scripture: John 20 (https://www.bible.com/bible/111/JHN.20.NIV) This message invites us to open every closed-off place in our lives and trust Jesus to fill them with His freedom. His peace quiets our fears. His Spirit empowers us to live fully. His purpose gives meaning to every step we take. Wherever you are, Jesus is ready to meet you — and change everything.

The Lord is inviting His people to partner with heaven for MASSIVE displays of Holy Spirit Power. But there's a key to tapping into these releases of "God-tomic" bursts of power.

I believe that many Christians are not aware of the power of the Holy Spirit. We may not be able to comprehend how the Holy Spirit brings us power to overcome evil, darkness, addiction, and fear. The promise Jesus gave of the Holy Spirit coming was more than to help us feel better. We will see how the Holy Spirit brings omniscience. omnipresence, and omnipotent power.To listen to more podcasts and information on books: davidcfriendauthor.comTo subscribe to podcasts: cpnshows.com

Pastor Lloyd Pulley is sharing a great series called “Every Day Theology”. For the last several broadcasts, we've been considering the power of the Holy Spirit, and His role in our lives as Christians. Lloyd will share some more truths today concerning the gifts of the Holy Spirit. There are those who say you're not really a saved Christian unless you display these gifts. there are those who say the gifts of the Spirit are not even relevant anymore. Who's right? Who's wrong? God's word is where we'll go for the answers, so join us.

Today we'll begin a look at the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and the power of those gifts. When I say “The Gifts of the Holy Spirit”, immediately there are those who think something controversial is about to follow. There have been heated debates over the years concerning these gifts, but I think if you'll join us over the next two broadcasts, much of that controversy will be resolved.

Acts 1:8 – Holy Spirit Power

The Holy Spirit is a powerful figure in the New Testament who gave spiritual gifts, guidance, and a witness to God's miracles. That same power is available to us today. This week, we celebrate Next Gen Sunday, honoring the kids, youth, and 20-somethings in our church. Youth Pastor Jordan continues our series on the Holy Spirit to remind us that this power is for everyone, including the next generation, who are the church of today and our most important generation. We are called to guide and support them, helping them realize their God-given potential. Listen in as we explore the Power of the Holy Spirit.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Holy Spirit power! How do you know if you have it? I must admit, thinking about Holy Spirit power had me deep into God's Word, seeking to understand if I was experiencing this power in my own life! Looking into God's Word, we see the Holy Spirit present in Scripture starting in Genesis 1, throughout the Old Testament and especially in the New Testament. In fact, in Romans 8:11 we are told that the same power that raised Jesus from the grave is alive in us today! Wow! All of this had me thinking—how could I see this power? What I found was the disciples in the early church, and especially Paul, left behind many practical ways for us to evaluate our Holy Spirit power and to flex what I am calling our Holy Spirit power muscles! You see, just as the muscles in our body become more responsive to exercise, Holy Spirit power also becomes more responsive to how much we “exercise” or pay attention to how we display this power in our lives. I would like us to look at verses we have likely read before, but I am hoping that we look at them differently in light of Holy Spirit power. How do you know you have Holy Spirit power? First the indwelling of the Holy Spirit is reserved for those who place their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. In Acts 2:38, Peter states, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Once you receive this gift, how do you know its power in your life? Well, we are told in Galatians 5:22 that the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, and self-control. I love the word fruit. Think about how fruit grows. It takes different forms of power to create fruit. Fertile soil, rain, sunshine, warmth. Just like we nurture our bodies in exercise to build muscles, plants must be nurtured to produce fruit! What kind of nurturing are you giving the fruit of the Spirit? You have likely read Galatians 5:22 many times and even heard a sermon or two about it, but have you used it to see how the power of the Holy Spirit is moving in your life? I started to think about each one of the fruits and how much or how little it was showing up in my life. To be even more specific, how was it showing up in my work? Love. You may be thinking love and work don't mesh, but if you have Holy Spirit power working in your life, love is foundational to your work. And yes, this applies if you work in a secular workplace. The greatest commandment in the Bible is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, and soul and to love your neighbor as yourself (Luke 10:27). As we dig deeper into Scripture, we see that a neighbor is anyone in our path who may be in need. The best example of love in the Bible is Jesus. How did Jesus love others? How does God love us? Unconditionally—as we are. How are you loving people at work? Even those who are different from you? Joy. Maybe you don't like your job. In fact, you dread waking up to go every day. Or maybe you love your job! Often, we see the words joy and happiness used as synonyms but, what about biblical joy. I really liked this definition by John Piper: Christian joy is a good feeling in the soul, produced by the Holy Spirit, as he causes us to see the beauty of Christ in the word and in the world.[1] Why do I like this? First, because clearly, joy is a product of Holy Spirit power and second it tells us to see the beauty of Christ in the Word and in the world! Like me, your world includes work. Seeing the beauty of Christ could mean something as small as giving thanks for the job you have that brings financial provision, or maybe you have great relationships with the people you work with. Have you learned a new skill at work? All these seemingly mundane, worldly things can bring you joy if you see them through the lens of Christ. And when you are struggling,

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Have you ever felt drawn to talk with someone, and you didn't know why? We will see how Holy Spirit power can often prompt us to talk with someone about a specific issue or situation. In the book of Acts, Holy Spirit power was very present in the early church. In Acts 8 we see Philip told by the Holy Spirit to go to that chariot and stay near to it. You may know this story. The Ethiopian enuch is in the chariot reading from the book of Isaiah. Philip tells this man about Jesus. From this encounter we see one of the first gentile conversions in the early church. Are you too busy to hear how Holy Spirit power may be leading you to approach someone in conversation? Our days are busy! But they shouldn't be too busy to the point we ignore that feeling that we should approach someone to ask how their day is going! Holy Spirit power leading you into a conversation doesn't always mean you are being asked to share the gospel, but it could be a step God is asking you to take that will display your faith at work through kindness. Is there a conversation you have been meaning to have but time has not allowed it? Sometimes at work it is easy to overlook the good that is going on around you—especially if other things are not going well or your schedule is just overloaded. One of the ways I seek Holy Spirit power is in the way I need to compliment and thank people for the work they do—especially if it helps me or the organization. Waiting for a formal opportunity or a performance review may be the norm in your organization, but I find small conversations, even in passing, that recognize a team member or colleagues' work, can go a long way. Maybe you are like me and spend time in the morning in God's word or in prayer. It is during this time I jot down 1-2 names and pray for an opportunity to tell them how much I appreciate them. Perhaps it is more complex. Is there a conversation you have been avoiding? You know, the one that has a knot in your stomach? Seeking Holy Spirit power in guiding your words can give you the confidence to move ahead and have the conversation. Again, spending time in prayer can bring you closer to helping seek the words and leading to this conversation. And, maybe Holy Spirit power is moving to tell you to share the gospel at work or invite someone to church. For some of you, this may feel like a risk at work, but taking a page from the early church in the book of Acts, we can look for ways the Holy Spirit may be moving in a conversation that allows us to have that next conversation. Perhaps it is as simple as offering to pray for a colleague in a time of need. Today, don't ignore the Holy Spirit power urging you on to have a conversation!

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Did you know even if you don't hold a formal leadership position, you are called and qualified as a leader for Jesus? If you have faith in Jesus, you are his ambassador for the gospel. Did you know even Jesus sought the Holy Spirit as he selected his disciples? Just as Jesus sought this wisdom in qualifying you, Holy Spirit power can also move in both your qualification and how you seek to select others to be part of your team. First, consider that being known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom was a qualification of those who were selected to serve in the early church. If you are truly working as a disciple of Jesus, the presence of Holy Spirit power in your life is a requirement! Not only was considering your qualification prayed over, but God is very specific in his assignments! In Acts 16 we see God set apart Barnabas and Saul to proclaim his word in Salamis. If you are working in a secular workspace, like many of us do, consider your qualification and assignment to reflect Jesus to others at work. We are also called and qualified to keep watch over ourselves and all of the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made us overseers (Acts 20:28). While the reference in this Scripture is to those in the early church, we know those that are on our teams have been entrusted to us—not only by the company we work for, but they are entrusted in our care by God. If we consider the power of the Holy Spirit in our watch over our flock, how would this change how we see the people on our team? Let Holy Spirit power move in you to show them care like a shepherd or overseer. But not only are we called to watch over those entrusted to us, but this passage also calls us to keep watch over ourselves. Staying mindful of how we show up as a leader and overseer is important both in being a leader at work and as an ambassador for Jesus! Maybe you are adding to your team. How can Holy Spirit power help you in selecting team members? Every hire is important. Consider how praying for the right candidate, the right interview questions and even timing on the decision may impact the outcome. Even the practice of pausing to pray for these things can bring things to light maybe you haven't considered before. Statistically, turnover can cost an organization up to 1.5 times the individual's salary if the hire doesn't work out. Not only will seeking Holy Spirit power bring you the right candidate, it may also save your organization money. Wow! Holy Spirit power qualifies us, assigns us, and also helps us to qualify and assign others! Make sure you are seeking the Spirit in prayer regularly.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Who do you turn to when conflict arises at work? At one time or another, we will all face conflict at work. How we respond to that conflict can have many implications—especially if the conflict is with a boss or even a close colleague. How can Holy Spirit power guide you during conflict? Turning back to the book of Acts, we know the disciples often faced conflict with other religious leaders and local gentiles who believed in other gods. In fact, Paul's proclamation of this gospel directly impacted the work of many craftsmen who made carved images of the local gods. Many of the conflicts; however, would occur in the church between Jews who wanted to keep customs such as circumcision and their belief that Gentile believers should hold to the same traditions as the Jews. After much debate, a letter was sent. It seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us not to burden you with anything beyond the following requirements (Acts 15:28). To read more about how they came to write this letter, turn to Acts 15. But, for now, at a high level, here are some of the steps the disciples took—clearly seeking the Holy Spirit to guide them through the conflict. First, they listened to both sides of the conflict. We know the Gentiles were converted and the Jews wanted them to obey the law. Second, they discussed their differences. Next, they remained rooted in facts—not feelings. They provided supporting evidence and based on this, came to a solution that was acceptable to both sides. Finally, they communicated the outcome. While I am sure the Jews still would have liked for the Gentiles to follow the law, they were compelled by the facts and evidence that God was moving in the Gentiles. We know by our Scripture above that it was the Holy Spirit power compelling this resolution. How can you follow this pattern in your own conflict? Listen, discuss, present facts, provide evidence and deliver clear communication about the decision. Seek the Holy Spirit in prayer as you move through this conversation and see how Holy Spirit power moves! Another observation from this conflict is it wasn't just a one-on-one dialogue. I have often found when conflicts arise at work, it is almost always most helpful to have a neutral third party come alongside both parties to ensure the discussion stays on track.

Presented by Lauren Stibgen Have you ever felt like you needed to be bolder or have more courage at work? The Holy Spirit can help! Every year I pray over a word of focus for the year. In 2022, as our world was moving back into its normal busyness after the pandemic, I was thinking a lot about lost souls. How many people suffered and passed away never having heard about Jesus? My word for that year was bold. I wanted to learn more about how to share the gospel in the places I was the most—at work, socially, and with people close to me. Throughout the books of Acts, we see the many trials the disciples faced as they proclaimed the gospel. Early in the book of Acts, Peter and John healed a lame man and drew a lot of attention. People asked how this could have happened! In Acts 4:8 we see these words, then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit… Filled with the Holy Spirit he proclaimed the healing he had done was in Jesus' name! Of course, this caused even more of an uproar with the religious leaders of the time. The religious leaders asked them to no longer preach in Jesus' name. Threats of imprisonment loomed, but Peter and John didn't pray for protection. They prayed for boldness! Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness (Acts 4:29). We see the answer to their prayer, After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly (Acts 4:31). Like Peter and John, I prayed to be bold! The Holy Spirit has increased a spirit of power in me to share the gospel in many ways since January of 2022. Whether it is gathering with other women at work to pray, quote Scripture, send encouragement to non-believers, or invite people to church, I pray daily for God to use me for his glory. My Holy Spirit power application for being bold is in sharing the gospel, but where else do you need to be bold at work? Maybe you need to take steps to look for a new job. Have you been afraid to ask for a raise or promotion? Do you need to speak up against something happening at work to you or a colleague? Being bold takes more than just courage, it takes Holy Spirit power!

Presented by Lauren Stibgen I want to challenge your thinking. Whether you have the title or not, you are a leader. If you have found salvation in Jesus Christ, your biblical identity bestows you with some big titles! We could spend a lot of time talking about identity, but let's focus on ambassador. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us (2 Corinthians 5:20). With such a title, ambassador, how do we lead for Christ? You are a leader; God is making an appeal through you! Even with years of leadership under my belt and a more formal title along with it, there are times when I still find myself questioning my capabilities as a leader. If I think back to my career before I knew Jesus as my Savior and Lord, there were so many fears and failures, and I really didn't have any place to take them. That has changed tremendously over the years, but recently even my own thinking was challenged to think about how Holy Spirit power can impact my leadership. We can sometimes miss the way the Holy Spirit is called out in Scripture and the truly remarkable ways the Spirit of the Lord has such a profound role in the lives of those who lead. The Holy Spirit is often referenced as the Spirit, the Spirit of God, and the Spirit of the Lord. In Genesis 1:2 we get our first description of the Spirit. …and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. We don't often think of the presence of the Holy Spirit. In this verse we see the word hovering and the where—over the face of the waters. Imagine with me the expanse and spread of the Spirit over all the face of the waters of the world! Acts 2:3 describes tongues of fire resting on each of the disciples. The visual of fire is used many times to describe the Spirit in Scripture. Often, we hear of the filling of the Holy Spirit or of the Holy Spirit who comes upon us. One thing is clear, the Holy Spirit brings power—the mighty power of God for those who are in Christ Jesus. My favorite verse about the Holy Spirit is Romans 8:11. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you (Romans 8:11). Wow, that is power. I think we often forget. You and I, we have a power within us that is strong enough to overcome death! Now that you have a picture of this power consider how your leadership can be transformed.

This is Day 2 of our Prayer, Protocol & Protein Challenge. A lot of us don't think to include the Holy Spirit in our weight-loss journey. A lot of that is because of guilt and shame. We feel bad for our eating habits, so we want to hide. But we have the Holy Spirit in us and He want to partner with us. There are so many stories in the Bible where God uses humans to help Him bring about His plan. God created Adam because He wanted someone to rule the earth and work the land. Noah was called by God to help save the animals of the earth during the flood. God called Moses to help Him bring His people out of slavery from Egypt. And when Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he asked the people to move the stone from the tomb first. We serve a God who never changes. He wants to partner with us to free ourselves from the bondage of food and self-loathing. In today's challenge we talk about who the Holy spirit is and who we are in Him. I'm excited to announce that registration is open for our next 12 week "Stop Over-Eating" class. We start April 15th. If you want to stop eating your feelings, strengthen your self-discipline, gain control of food and learn to take every thought captive to lose weight for the last time, check it out. I'd love to have you join us. https://www.leandramcmullen.com/the-christian-weight-loss-academy
