What happens when the Holy Spirit comes upon you?

Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” This power that comes from the Holy Spirit allows you to stand strong for the things of God.

These past two weeks, writers from Quest Church have spoken on the topic of ‘Infinitely More’ and speaking to how God wants to do infinitely more in your life than you can ask or think of! This week, I want to speak to two things that the Holy Spirit wants to do in you. The first thing that He wants to do is bring POWER into your life. Power to do and be more than you can imagine! Acts 1:8 says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” This power that comes from the Holy Spirit allows you to stand strong for the things of God. We find in the Bible that Peter, who two months before denied Jesus three times, stands before a crowd immediately after receiving the Holy Spirit and over 3,000 people come into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. The second thing the Holy Spirit wants to do in us is give us SPIRITUAL GIFTS. The gifts of the Spirit are laid out in 1 Corinthians 12:8-11 and speak to things such as miraculous healing, wisdom, prophecy, speaking in tongues, and discernment. These gifts were manifested 2,000 years ago, but they can be alive and well in our own lives today! Through personal experience and the testimonies of other, I have seen these gifts in action. Every time they have shown themselves, they have blessed the individual recipient of the gift as well as glorified God in the process. Now is the time our culture needs to stand up, with the power of the Holy Spirit, for the things that grieve God. We are called to be the audible voices of God to the world around us. And, through that, we are able to have a voice to stand up for the injustices of this world. As things are calming down with riots and COVID-19, we need to never hide our God who lives inside of us. We are to have compassion in our life. To have compassion is to “co-suffer”. That means when racism happens, we suffer with that community. When a disease outbreak happens, we suffer with those families. When our teachers have to pivot their classrooms to accommodate and they’re tired, lost, and confused, we suffer with them. This is something we are commanded to do. Colossians 3:12 says, “Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.” Can you imagine what our world would look like if all people did this? What if we all suffered with those who suffered? Had patience when those who are hurting act out, or if we had humility and realized what we know isn’t always true? These things are only possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. So, today, ask the Holy Spirit to enter into your life and give you the extra power you may need to stand up in Jesus’ name!

What is the meaning of 🙂 🙃?

🙃 Upside-Down Face emoji The upside-down face emoji, sometimes known as the upside-down smiley face, has several meanings depending on the context and personality of the user. It can indicate silliness, sarcasm, irony, passive aggression, or frustrated resignation.

dictionary.com - Upside-Down Face emoji Meaning - Dictionary.com

The upside-down face emoji can convey sarcasm, passive aggression, or irony. It’s the visual opposite of the ordinary smiley emoji, which might lend to the interpretation that the meaning of the text is the opposite of what it seems. Do you think they’ll notice if I left work 6 hours early today? 🙃 — Karla sandoval (@_Karlita6) October 23, 2018 This emoji can also be used to communicate a comical level of misfortune, showing the user is “smiling through the pain.” In some contexts, there’s almost a palpable undercurrent of ugh or “why me?” associated with it. This emoji is for when someone is frustrated with their circumstances, but has to muscle through it anyway. In some cases, it’s used even for an emotion that can only be described as “this is fine,” à la a certain oft-referenced comic of a dog sitting in a burning room with a smile on his face.

In other cases, it could even be used flirtatiously when paired with other emoji, such as a blushing face of some kind. Beyond these usages, the upside-down face emoji sometimes appears in contexts where the meaning is almost impossible to describe without the surrounding context. Yet, somehow, it works perfectly.
