No one can do these things unless God is with him.

"They were all filled with the holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness."  (Acts 4:  31 NABRE)

Two days ago, we got this command from Jesus:  "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature."  (Mark 16: 15).
Today, we see how this command can be fulfilled.   The Holy Spirit is not just Lord and Giver of life.  He is the Spirit of inspiration and power.  The dictionary defines inspiration as "the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative."  This is the domain of the Holy Spirit.  Power here means the ability or capacity to do something superior to your natural ability and gifts.

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Evangelization.  It is the Spirit that enables us to undertake and fulfill the command to "Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature."  (Mark 16: 15).
The Holy Spirit is a Gift waiting for you to be taken.  It is a Gift that keeps giving.  Ask for the Holy Spirit.  Ask for Him with passion at the beginning of your day.  Before long, you will begin to notice how He works in your life.
