"The Holy Spirit will come upon you," Jesus said. "And you will be baptized, immersed in the Holy Spirit. You will receive power and you will be my witnesses everywhere you go." I love my church. I see God at work here. But if there's anything that I know we need more of, it is the power of God. So if we want to turn the world upside down, we have to change the preposition. Change the preposition and you will change the world.
What do you mean by that Dan? I mean that in the case of the disciples before Jesus death and resurrection, they were doing life "with Christ." They were expanding the Kingdom "with God." And when you read the gospels we see what amazing stuff, a group of people can do "with God, with Christ." But Jesus said, just wait...there's more, there's more than "with God." Wait in Jerusalem for the promise of the Father, wait to be immersed in the Holy Spirit. Why? Because you cannot even imagine what it's like when you stop doing life with God, and start doing life in Christ.
The promise worth waiting for is that we can change the preposition from "with" to "in" and find the power to turn the world upside down.
