The Purpose of Power

Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

What is the purpose of the power that the Holy Ghost brings when He comes upon the followers of Jesus in power? The power of the Holy Ghost is power to witness. Why do we focus on so many things that are peripheral? Why do we covet spiritual power if it is not to be witnesses for Jesus Christ?
