The Catching Fire series Pastor Charles did continue today
He said that God wants us to experience power His way
Living with His power is how we were designed to be
As highlighted by several passages that we did see
Pastor Charles first referred to Acts chapter one verse eight
Jesus' final words spoke of the Holy Spirit and its power great
The church cannot operate without this awesome power
With it, we can be witnesses globally until our final hour
Pastor then read from Acts chapter two verses one to four
The tongues of fire came from heaven, not through the door
On one hundred and twenty believers flames came to rest
They spoke in tongues for with the Spirit they were blessed
God has promised the Holy Spirit for each of us as well
He always keeps His promises, as the Bible does tell
The Holy Spirit is part of our eternal inheritance
Something God has planned, not a circumstance
An esteemed writer compared baptism to the pickling process
Step one is being dipped in boiling water for a minute or less
Then the fruit is submerged in vinegar and spices to be transformed
Similarly, we should be an example for the world - not be conformed
In Luke 24 verse 49, Jesus did instruct his disciples to stay
Until they were clothed with the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Day
Remember what is said in verse twenty five of Hebrews seven
That for believers, Christ Jesus lives to intercede from heaven
The core of the message from Pastor Charles today
Is that Jesus left us a message and showed us the way
The Holy Spirit gives us great strength and power
Which we should use every day and every hour
