This sermon message was preached by Evangelist Ebenezer Udofia at Living Faith Apostolic Ministries. It has been adapted from the sermon portion of the video transcript into a detailed blog format for Bible study, Christian discipleship, local ministry outreach, and Google Ad Grants search visibility.
This sermon proclaimed the promise of power from on high. Jesus told His disciples that they would receive power after the Holy Ghost came upon them, and they would be witnesses unto Him. The Holy Ghost is not an outdated experience. The power of God is for believers today.
The sermon reminded the church that we should not say we have power and then fail to use what we have. The power of God belongs in the home, on the job, in the car, in prayer, in worship, in ministry, in sickness, in confusion, and in every place where believers need the presence of God. The Holy Ghost is not limited to a church building. God’s power goes with His people.
The preacher emphasized that power recognizes power. In the Gospels, demons recognized Jesus. In the life of the believer, the enemy should recognize the presence and authority of the Holy Ghost. But this power must be treated with dignity. The Holy Ghost teaches us how to live. He teaches us how to speak, dress, apologize, walk in holiness, reject worldliness, and honor God.
Acts 2:38 gives the Apostolic response to the gospel: repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. This message remains central. If someone has not been filled with the Holy Ghost, they can seek God and receive the power He promised.
The sermon also testified of the power of prayer and speaking in tongues. It described how believers should not treat the heavenly language lightly. The Holy Ghost strengthens, intercedes, builds faith, and brings believers into deeper spiritual awareness. When God’s power descends, sickness, confusion, cycles, and burdens can be brought before Him in faith.
The message called people to put the situation on their mind, touch the part of the body that needed prayer, and believe that the power of God was present. The emphasis was not on performance, but on faith in Jesus Christ and the reality of the Holy Ghost.
For anyone searching for a Holy Ghost filled church, Pentecostal power, Apostolic baptism, speaking in tongues, healing prayer, or Bible teaching on Acts 2:38 in Raleigh, NC, this sermon speaks directly to the promise of God.
Living Faith Apostolic Ministries believes the Holy Ghost is still being poured out. We believe Jesus still saves, fills, heals, delivers, and empowers believers to witness. We believe the church must tarry in prayer, seek the power from on high, and carry that power into the world.
If you are hungry for more of God, come. If you need prayer, come. If you want to be filled with the Holy Ghost, come. If you are carrying a situation that needs the power of God, bring it to Jesus.
The promise is still true: ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.
