The importance of spiritual power
Dr. Roberto Miranda(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY:
The Christian life is not just about words and concepts, but also about power. The apostle Paul says that the Gospel is the power of God, and the weapons of our military are powerful in God. The Lord Jesus Christ told the disciples not to leave Jerusalem until they received power from the Holy Spirit. We should ask the Lord to give us supernatural power to witness, live a holy life, overcome temptations, speak boldly, endure troubles, and more. This power comes from the Holy Spirit and can be cultivated through fasting, prayer, and meditation on the Word of the Lord. It is not artificial power, but benevolent power that exemplifies love, grace, compassion, and generosity. May the Lord fill us with this power today.We have to ask the Lord to give us power. Brothers, the Christian life is not a matter of words only, of concepts but it is also a matter of power. The apostle Paul says: "I am not ashamed of the Gospel because it is the power of God" and in Another passage speaks that "the Gospel does not consist of words but consists of power." It also says that "the weapons of our military are not carnal but powerful in God for the destruction of strongholds."
The Lord Jesus Christ told the disciples not to leave Jerusalem until they received power, an endowment of power from the Holy Spirit. We children of God have to focus on the importance of power, naked power. He is talking about dunamis, that quality of spiritual energy. It is an infusion that comes directly from the Holy Spirit for the children of God, it is like when you take one of those pills that artificially gives you a sense of energy or when you have a cup of coffee that gives you that energy, that push to one not?.
