What Makes You Feel Powerful?
What actually makes you feel powerful? Control? Achievement? Status?
In this message, Ricky challenges everything we think we know about power and he reveals a source of power that is more freeing, more significant, and more impactful than anything this world has to offer.
In this eye-opening message from the "What Now?" series, Ricky takes us back to one of the most dramatic moments in human history — the Day of Pentecost. Just days after Jesus ascended into Heaven, His followers gathered in one room, and suddenly everything changed. Rushing wind. Tongues of fire. People from over 16 nations hearing the Gospel in their own language. The Holy Spirit had arrived, exactly as Jesus promised in Acts 1:8!
And because of it, the world has never been the same!
But here's what makes this message so powerful for you today: this same Holy Spirit is available to every believer...not just the disciples, not just the apostles, but you!
Ricky breaks down four essential things every follower of Jesus needs to know about the Holy Spirit, including the truth that the Holy Spirit actually lives inside of you if you've placed your faith in Christ, and that you have the ability to either open up space for His power or unknowingly block it. This isn't just theology, it's deeply practical truth that will change the way you approach your everyday life.
From there, Ricky walks through four tangible ways the Holy Spirit reveals Himself to ordinary people: through what you hear, what you see, what you know, and what you feel. Whether it's a quiet prompting during prayer, a dream that won't leave you alone, a sudden inexplicable knowing, or a feeling you simply can't shake — the Holy Spirit is actively at work, speaking to you and through you in ways you may not have recognized before.
If you've ever said "I don't hear from God" or wondered whether the supernatural power described in the Bible is actually available to you today, this message is for you. Ricky brings scripture to life with personal stories and real-world illustrations that make the work of the Holy Spirit feel accessible, tangible, and urgent.
The same power that transformed a group of frightened disciples into world-changers is the power that is available to you right now!
