"What would these
disciples do after the Lord left them? The first command was to wait. They were
not to engage in ministry until they had been empowered…What a lesson for us …
wait. Don’t rush off into ministry unprepared. Don’t carry on the Lord’s work
in the strength of the flesh. The only way we can fulfill Christ’s command to
witness is to be under control of the Holy Spirit who energizes us for service." –Dr. Kenneth Gangel
