But Ye Shall Receive Power! II

Acts 1:8 ( KJV )
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.
Some other scripture to read to go with the Holy Ghost and power: Luke 24:49; Luke 4:18; ICor. 4:20; Zach. 4:6; Ephesians 5:18; ICor. 12; Romans 12; and John 14:12 just to name a few.
2 aspects of power are: 1. authority and 2. dunamis or explosive or miracle working power
G1849: ἐξουσία exousia ex-oo-see'-ah From G1832 (in the sense of ability); privilege, that is, (subjectively) force, capacity, competency, freedom, or (objectively) mastery (concretely magistrate, superhuman, potentate, token of control), delegated influence:—authority, jurisdiction, liberty, power, right, strength.
G1411: δύναμις dunamis doo'-nam-is From G1410; force (literally or figuratively); specifically miraculous power (usually by implication a miracle itself):—ability, abundance, meaning, might (-ily, -y, -y deed), (worker of) miracle (-s), power, strength, violence, mighty (wonderful) work.

The power we are speaking of is “dunamis” or miracle power. It is power that dwells within the Christian believer. It is the power to fully be a witness unto the Lord Jesus Christ. It is the same power that was there with the Spirit that brooded over the first formations of the earth and the sea and all that is in them in the book of Genesis, creative power.

Let’s look at 5 more aspects, of what is received when I receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon me.

I. The power is comforting power. The Lord gives another comforter. We are not orphans.
II. The power received is the powerful Holy Spirit teaching us so we are able to speak with authority.
III. The power received is revelation power even to things to come.
IV. The power received includes power over unclean spirits - to cast them out.
V. The power received is of knowing your purpose or the reason for the anointing on your life. See Luke 4:18

Blessings on Ya!
