Why did Jesus insist that His Disciples wait on the appearance of the Holy Spirit before beginning their ministry concerning the Gospel? Acts 1:1-11

Jesus’ introduction into Time through the virgin birth (Luke 1) and His entire ministry (John 1:33; Luke 4:1) was wholly reliant upon the work and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Jesus had laid aside certain deific attributes in order to take-on flesh and humble Himself as a “man” (Philippians 2:5-11); therefore, Jesus relied on the Holy Spirit’s anointing to defeat Satan (1 John 3:8b), to perform signs, wonders, miracles, and Jesus knew that void the Spirit’s presence and full anointing in the lives of the Disciples, they would be like sheep headed to the slaughter.

This is why Jesus said that those in His presence who had attributed His miracles of healing and exorcism to works of the Devil would NEVER be forgiven for the blasphemy against the Holy Spirit because it was the Holy Spirit who anointed Jesus to comply with the Father’s will in all things (Matthew 12:32).
