And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Matthew 28:18

 

 


What is power?

The dictionary defines power as the ability to act or produce an effect; capacity for being acted upon or undergoing an effect; legal or official authority, capacity, or right; possession of control, authority, or influence over others; one having such power; specifically : a sovereign state; a controlling group; physical might; mental or moral efficacy; political control or influence.

We see many powers in this world today.  We have political powers and physical powers, placed on us in the world by other people, which are the legal or official authority of our government.  We have our own physical limited powers, that enable us to walk, talk and function in this world.  We also have powers over our minds to analyze and choose how we live our lives.  We also have events in our lives that control our thoughts, redirect our thought processes all throughout our lives.

Man is limited through his own self as to the amount of power he has over his life.  Man cannot control God.  Man does not have power over God. 

There is no power greater than the power of God, for the Lord God omnipotent reigns, Alleluia!

God is all powerful, almighty, omnipotent, and limitless. 

And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Revelation 19:6

Jesus healed people of evil spirits, made the blind see, made the lame walk, made the mute speak, made the deaf hear, cured illness and disease, cast out demons from many, and many more miracles that we will not know of until we see Him in Glory.  The Word of God states that we will do greater works than these.

In salvation we put on Christ, put on His righteousness, and through Christ to salvation we are given His power to do great and wondrous things for the Kingdom of God, for God, so the Father may be glorified in the Son (John 14:13).

And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.  If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.  John 14:12-14

The power of Jesus that is gifted to us is limitless.  There is nothing that we cannot do with the power of Jesus.

I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.  Philippians 4:13

 

 


If the power of Jesus is calling you, pulling at your heart, listen to Him, let Him come into your life, receive the free gift of salvation from God.

Believe in Jesus and be cleansed from all your sins, be forgiven, receive eternal life.
