The Key to Power With God and Man

The Holy Spirit is shown to be the one who reveals to us Jesus and all about the kingdom. Christianity could be called a religion of revelation.
The revelation by the Holy Spirit is the master key to the entire kingdom of God. It opens every door in the kingdom and makes it all accessible to us. See John 14, 15, and 16 as Jesus explained what the Holy Spirit would do. Then apply the truths there to your life now. Revelation is the key to power with God and men.

1. The Holy Spirit reveals truth
2. Revelation brings understanding
3. Understanding leads to application
4. Application brings kingdom benefit to self and others
5. Benefit brings opportunities
6. Opportunities are the key to witnessing
7. Witnessing is a key to the salvation of others
8. Salvation is Gods will for all men everywhere

Perry Noble's statement reflects my desire as well. He says "MY PASSION is not to be an innovative leader but rather an obedient servant who hears the voice of the Lord and does what He says. The church does not need my creativity and ingenuity but rather the power of HIS HOLY SPIRIT as only HE can truly change lives!"

I believe that the work of the Holy Spirit is critical in the building of the kingdom of God. He is also the only way to understand Jesus and what we have in Him because of who He is.

But Ye Shall Receive Power!

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 aspects, at a time, of what is received when I receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon me.
I. I receive transforming power that works within me to produce the fruit of the Spirit in me .
II. I receive power that touches the spoken Word of God and causes it to become life giving with quickening power and not a dead letter.
III. I receive the power of the gifts of the Holy Ghost that cause me to be able to be used of God in the gifts that represent Jesus’ power released through me for ministry, exalting Jesus.
IV. John 7:38 shows that the power received causes rivers of living water to flow from our inner-most being
V. The power received is the indwelling of the Spirit of God within us to release us in the supernatural Spirit of God. It is no longer I that live but Christ that lives in me.



I will list several more aspects of the power we receive after the Holy Ghost comes upon us in the next issue of my blogsite.
