What's the difference between struggling believers and world-changers? One word: power. Pastor C.F. Rainey takes us on an eye-opening journey through the Great Commission, revealing why Jesus commanded His disciples to wait before going out to evangelize.

The Great Commission appears in multiple gospels, with Mark 16:15 commanding believers to "go into all the world and preach the gospel." But what exactly is this gospel we're sharing? It's the good news that despite our sin and its consequences, Jesus paid our debt, rose victorious, and offers eternal life to all who believe in Him.

Yet Jesus didn't just tell His followers to go—He told them to wait for "the Promise of the Father." Why? Because He knew they couldn't accomplish their mission without supernatural empowerment. This promise was fulfilled dramatically at Pentecost when the Holy Spirit came upon 120 believers with fire and power, transforming them into bold witnesses who won 3,000 converts in a single day.

Pastor C.F. shares his personal journey of discovering the baptism of the Holy Spirit after growing up without teaching on this vital gift. "I lived a number of years born again, not filled with the Holy Spirit, and then I've lived a number of years with it," he explains. "Can I tell you something? With is better."

Throughout Acts, we see this pattern repeated—ordinary believers receiving extraordinary power to heal the sick, cast out demons, and speak God's word with authority. This wasn't just for the early church; it remains God's design for effective ministry today. As Pastor C.F. notes, "Many people miss the supernatural because they're looking for the spectacular," yet God's power often works gradually, transforming lives one miracle at a time.
