Hype Man
Hype Man
“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 NIV
What is a hype man? It can be defined as a supporting performer who builds excitement for a main act. This can often be seen at concerts where the hype man calls for the audience to responded to chants that will energize and build excitement for audience. In a broader sense, a “hype person’ is any enthusiastic supporter of a person, group, or thing.
Did you know that you can be your own hype man according to scripture? Just look up the word encouragement. The action of encouraging our own souls, is an act of self-motivation, reframing perceived failures as learning opportunities, the actions of getting back up, even when we fall, and all while maintaining a positive outlook.
Jesus promises his followers will receive power from the real hype man, the “Holy Ghost.” He is the third person of the Trinity, a comforter, a teacher, and a source of power leading us to the truth. If you read on into Act chapter 2, you will see the importance of God’s timing, miraculous signs, full empowerment, the impact, and results.
Remember friends, we are each other’s keeper and the only time we should e looking down on someone is when we are helping them up.
