The Spirit of Power

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you …” 
Acts 1:8(KJV)

Our opening scripture lets us know that when the Holy Spirit came upon you, you received power. For instance, you cannot separate water from being wet, because when water is poured on you, you become wet. In the same way, you cannot separate the Holy Spirit from the power of God, so when you received the Holy Spirit you received power.

This means that when you say that the Holy Spirit lives in you, you are saying that the power of God lives in you. This was why Micah declared in Micah 3:8, “But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, …” This means that wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, the power of God is, because the Spirit of the Lord is the Spirit of power.

Another example we see in the scriptures is Samson. When you read about Samson in the Bible, you will notice that whenever the Spirit of God came upon him, he did mighty things. The Bible shows us this in Judges 15:14-16, “And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men.”

Child of God be conscious knowing that the Spirit of power is in you, therefore nothing shall be impossible unto you and nothing shall be able to bind you anymore.

CONFESSION
 In the Name of Jesus I declare that I am full of power because the Spirit of power is in me, therefore I am liberated from all that binds and am empowered to do the previously impossible and to set new standards. Amen.

For further study read:
1 Corinthians 2:4-5, Acts 6:8, Acts 3:1-8.

DOING THE WORD
Live conscious of the power you carry in you.
