Good morning powerful one!
We read in 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.
So much so, that Jesus said in John 14:12,
• Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do will he do also; and greater works then these he will do, because I go to My Father.
THE POWER OF GOD restores, heals, delivers, sets free, lifts, and brings life into existence into your hearts. Here we see why the Spirit of the Lord was upon Jesus in Isaiah 61:1-3,
1. To preach good tidings to the poor
2. To heal the broken-hearted
3. To proclaim liberty to the captives
4. The opening of the prison to those who are bound
5. To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God
6. To comfort all who mourn
7. To console those who mourn in Zion
8. To give them beauty for ashes
9. To give them the oil of joy for mourning
10. To give them the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness
11. That they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, to be glorified
Family, the more we enter into the light, the more we enter into THE POWER OF GOD.
It is such a wonderful and glorious thing to get in touch with our God. We can be ever-filled with the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 5:18 says,
• Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.
As a matter of fact, 1 Peter 1:16 says,
• For it is written, “Be holy, because I am holy.”
We are also to be righteous just as He is righteous. 1 John 4:17 says,
• As we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face Him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world.
Wow, family! Did you hear that? BECAUSE WE LIVE LIKE JESUS HERE IN THIS WORLD. This means that by THE POWER OF GOD, we are able to do that very thing.
I love to stir you up in these things because my heart longs for you to know THE POWER OF GOD that is available to you who believe.
It is not about “feeling” the power. Just know that the Holy Spirit came to abide in you. He came to have unbroken fellowship with you.
Jesus is a purifier. It says in Malachi 3:2 that He is like a refiner’s fire and like fuller’s soap.
As you stand on the Word, you will find yourself walking in THE POWER OF GOD.
Love in our powerful God,
