And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus . And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. Luke 1:31, 35 NKJV
Jesus promised the disciples the Holy Spirit as He was rounding up His earthly ministry. It was this same Spirit that brought forth conception in the virgin Mary, bringing life in the form of the baby Jesus. It was this same Holy Spirit, the Spirit of God that raised Jesus from the dead (Romans 8:11). It is this same Holy Spirit that is in us, conceiving in us a new life; quickening in us agape love that we are able to call out to the Almighty - Abba Father. As Jesus was called the Son of God, we have been adopted into this sonship as a son of God. Isn't that glorious!
It was this same Holy Spirit that transformed a group of fearful disciples into firebrands for the Lord. The baptism of the Holy Spirit birth a passion in them that even physical death no longer matter.
As a disciple of Jesus, this passion should be the same in us because we have the indwelling of the Spirit of God. Unfortunately, many do not understand, nor acknowledge the power of the Holy Spirit in them; either because of lack of understanding or lack of submission to the will of the Father.
The power of the Holy Spirit is manifested where there is submission to the Almighty God. Go through the Holy Scriptures, everyone who was used mightily by the Almighty through the Holy Spirit lived a life of complete surrender.
Do you want to experience that mighty power working through you, do not grieve the Holy Spirit by going back to your old life. And definitely do not quenched the Holy Spirit by refusing to give up sin!
Thirst and hunger for that fire of the Holy Spirit in you.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit (Psalm 51:10,11,12). In the name of Yeshua my Lord and Saviour I pray. Amen.
