The document discusses the power that Christians receive from the Holy Spirit. It references several Bible passages about Jesus promising the disciples power when the Holy Spirit comes after he ascends to heaven. This power allows believers to endure persecution and minister as witnesses for God. It concludes by encouraging Christians to choose life and use the power of the Holy Spirit given to them.

suddenly two men dressed in white
stood beside them.
