The same Holy Spirit who empowered the Apostle Peter to preach [on the day of Pentecost] is available to us as we reach out to people who don't know Christ. When we witness, we have to rely completely on the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him" (John 6:44).
God the Holy Spirit can take the feeblest words of our witness to Christ and transform them by His power into a convicting word in the lives of others. That is the mystery to the working of the Holy Spirit. We cannot hope to win anyone to Christ by our own words or actions. But the Holy Spirit can choose to work through us if we are yielded to Him.
Prayer:
Lord, thank You that we can rely on the Holy Spirit to use us as instruments to reveal the Gospel to those who are far from Christ. Help us to not rely on our own strength when we have opportunities to talk to others about Jesus. We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
