Before His ascension, the Lord Jesus promised ‘power from on high’, which would enable his followers to be His witnesses from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. Throughout Acts, powerful manifestations of the Spirit’s presence confirmed the Apostle’s proclamation that Jesus Christ is Lord.

It demonstrates that there can be no mission or advance of the Kingdom without the Spirit’s power.
