Power Through The Spirit
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 (Acts 1:8).
Some Christians assume and believe that prayer
produces power. So, they say, “a prayerless
Christian is a powerless Christian,” but that’s not stated
anywhere in the Bible.
Notice our theme scripture; Jesus didn’t say you’ll
receive power after you’ve prayed. I believe in prayer,
but prayer doesn’t bring power. Power comes from
the Holy Ghost.
Power is the dynamic ability to cause changes.
That means we can effect changes in our lives and that
of our loved ones, and even in places where we desire
to see changes. We’re not supposed to be victims in
the earth, but many Christians live as victims; they’re
captives of adverse circumstances. But Jesus said you
shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come
upon you. Jesus was never a victim, yet many of God’s
children have been victims in one way or the other.
1 John 3:2 says, “Beloved, now are we the sons
of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be:
but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall
be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” When
you were born again, you were born as an offspring
of God; through the Holy Spirit, you have power. No
need to ask Him for power, for the power is already
resident in you. All you need to do for the power of
God in you to be manifested is to stir it up (2 Timothy
1:6). Glory to God!
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the power at work in me,
through the Holy Spirit. Nothing is impossible for me, because
as I activate the power in me, I bring calmness and order to
every situation, in Jesus’ Name. Amen
