Taking the Gospel to the Continents Acts 1:1-8; 2 Peter 3:18. Jesus assigned the believer’s great task—the great commission. The believer’s equipping power was to be the Holy Spirit. God’s very own Spirit was to dwell within the heart and life of the believer. No greater power could ever be possessed by anyone. It is this for which the human heart craves, and once God’s Spirit truly dwells within a person, that person is supremely fulfilled and satisfied. Nothing else can ever satisfy, not position or authority, recognition or fame, not if the person has truly received the Spirit of God into his heart and life. The believer’s mission is the great task of witnessing for God. The believer is given a task by God, a mission to carry out on earth. The believer does not have the power to carry out that task by himself alone. The Spirit and power of God, is needed. The major purpose for the Holy Spirit is to equip the believer to carry out his task for God. Christ tells His Church to carry the message of salvation even to our enemies.
