Understanding Holy Spirit Empowering

I got saved in 1993 but it was not until 12-years later before I received the baptism of the Holy Spirit (June 22, 2005). It was at a low-key Wednesday night service. After this weekend's service, I read nearly 50-prayer request cards that came from the service, and I realized there was something missing it was the empowering of the Holy Spirit. The prayer requests seemed to be of different topics, but missing a similar substance – POWER! So tonight, I want to give you a short overview of the works of the Holy Spirit in the Church in a simple topical study!
