The last thing Jesus said to His disciples on earth was for them to tarry in Jerusalem until they received power from on high (Luke 24:49). Jesus directly linked the receiving of this Holy Ghost power to the ability of disciples to witness the gospel to others (Acts 1:8). Sharing the good news and having it confirmed through miracles, signs and wonders (Mark 16:20) is Power Evangelism. It is allowing yourself to be filled with the overflowing fullness of the Holy Spirit so that He can work through you to make His truth known. Power Evangelism is stepping out in faith to share not only the word but the life-transforming power of Jesus Christ with everyone He brings across our paths. When people not only hear the truth but see it and feel it, they come to know how very real Jesus Christ is. In John 4:48, Jesus comments on how effective signs and wonders are in helping people believe. Jesus gives us kingdom authority and supernatural power to be effective witnesses, and fulfill the Great Commission. He empowers us to share the gospel and also to prove it through miracles, signs and wonders like healing the sick, cleansing the lepers, raising the dead and casting out demons. That’s His kingdom come. That’s His will being done on earth as it is in heaven. That’s power evangelism!

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. And so are we, his disciples. We still can do nothing without Him. But oh the things that can be done through us by Him if we are willing to be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit. Go for it!
