If God uses individuals and the local church to reveal Christ to the world, and the Holy Spirit is essential for that task, don’t you think that everyone needs to learn to minister to the world in the power of the Holy Spirit?

Envision everyone impacting the local church, and the local church impacting their world where God has uniquely placed them, proclaiming and demonstrating the gospel in the character and in the power of Jesus Christ. And if that is too impossible to consider, imagine if every one of the more than 12 million United Methodists in the United States were, in word and in deed, proclaiming and demonstrating the gospel – carrying on the ministry of Jesus!

In Mathew 28, Jesus commanded the disciples to “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them everything that I have commanded you.” The Message paraphrases Jesus’ saying in Matthew 10:6-8, “Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouchables. Kick out the demons.”

But Jesus also made it clear that they were to wait for the promise of the Father, indicating in Acts 1:8 that they would “receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Peter says later in Acts 2 that this promise is “for you, for your children, and for all who are far away; everyone whom the Lord our God calls to him.”
