This has been quite a week with storm devastation; hurting people; joy for some and disappointment for others in the election; death in several families; etc.! The Scripture that comes to mind is Ephesians 6:10, "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might."

Be strong 'in the power of His might.'
Let us see what Scripture tells us of the power of Holy God, Christ and the Holy Spirit. Our God is sovereign and He reins supreme. He has a plan and we are apart of that plan and in His power it will be accomplished.
Hallelujah!

First we see that Scripture tells us the source of spiritual power-- The Holy Spirit:
Paul to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 2:4-5 "And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God."

Christ:
"But to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." 1 Corinthians 1:24

The Gospel:
"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek." Romans 1:16

God's word:
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Hebrews 4:12

Now let's see how God's power is manifested through, by and in the Trinity.
The Power of God manifested--
In creation:
"He has made the earth by His power;
He has established the world by His wisdom, And stretched out the heaven by His understanding." Jeremiah 51:15

In keeping watch on the nations:
"He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations..." Psalm 66:7

In Christ Jesus' birth:
"The angel answered, 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you, so the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.'" Luke 1:35

In Christ Jesus' resurrection and exaltation:
"For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God..."  2 Corinthians 13:4 And, That you may know, "What is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places." Ephesians 1:19-20

In sanctification:
"...For it is God Who is all the while effectually at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure..." Philippians 2:13 The Amplified Bible

In the Believer's resurrection:
"And God both raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His power."
1 Corinthians 6:14

And what is the Believer's attitude toward God's mighty power?
He gives praise:
"Be exalted, O Lord, in Your own strength!
We will sing and praise Your power." Psalm 21:13

He sings of God's power:
"But I will sing of Your power;
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble.
To You, O my strength, I will sing praises..." Psalm 59:16-17

He talks of God's power:
"All Your works shall praise You, O Lord, And Your saints shall bless You.
They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power." Psalm 145:10-11

All glory is Yours Most Holy God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit! We love and adore You. Amen

(The Lord willing, next week we will see how power is manifested in and through Christ and the Holy Spirit.)
