The Christian life is not a one-time experience and then trying to live by your own power. In fact, it is a life you cannot live without a continued filling of the Holy Spirit’s power. To do the work of God, you need the power of God to rest on you. Jesus the Son of God, did not begin his Messianic Ministry as a man until He was filled fully with the Holy Spirit’s power. Yet, why did He need more power if He was God's Son? His life is a pattern and His prayers are a path that we should follow. Jesus first prayer, was to pray down the Holy Spirit, not just for Himself, but for you. What is your first prayer?
