Luke 24:49 (NKJV) 49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high<\/span>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Power.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s discuss this important word in a little more depth than it would appear to warrant.<\/p>\n

As we left off yesterday, we had just begun to talk about the fact that the Holy Spirit empowers us.<\/p>\n

Today, we will dig in and uncover what that means.<\/p>\n

In the Bible there were four different words used for power.<\/p>\n

Dunamis: energy, power, might, great force, great ability.<\/p>\n

Exousia: delegated authority.<\/p>\n

Ischuros: great strength, (especially physical).<\/p>\n

Kraits: dominion authority.<\/p>\n

Dunamis is the word used for power in the verse above (Luke 24:49).<\/p>\n

When Jesus made the promise of being endued with power (dunamis) from on high, He was referring to the greatest of the 4 different power words.<\/p>\n

Dunamis is used 117 times in the New Testament. It is distinctly different than the other three power words.<\/p>\n

Dunamis is an indwelling, inherent force. As it flows out of a person, it gives them the ability to do supernatural things that are otherwise impossible. Miracles flow out of dunamis power.<\/p>\n

It could be described as divine power that overcomes all resistance. Nothing can withstand it.<\/p>\n

A related word would be dynamite.<\/p>\n

Jesus gave us a walking, real-life illustration of dunamis power in action.<\/p>\n

The (dunamis) power in Jesus resulted in irrefutable, incredibly dramatic transformations in anyone He encountered who allowed Him to touch their lives.<\/p>\n

This should be the norm for the Spirit-filled and Spirit-led believer.<\/p>\n

This is the power that the Holy Spirit brings to the lives of every believer who receives Him.<\/p>\n

By now, we should be seeing much more clearly why we need to better understand who the Holy Spirit is and why we desperately need Him to be active in our lives.<\/p>\n

More about this tomorrow!<\/p>\n
