Message With Power
Devotions:
“for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.”
1 Thessalonians 1:5 NASB
“and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.”
1 Corinthians 2:4-5 NASB
“God also testifying with them, both by signs and wonders and by various miracles and by gifts of the Holy Spirit according to His own will.”
Hebrews 2:4 NASB
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.”
Romans 1:16 NASB
Our gospel is not in mere words or the philosophy of man but in the truth of God testified by the power of God in manifestation. We are God's holy temple. We are the vessels that God uses to demonstrate to the whole world about His great love for them. We are to demonstrate His power as we yield to the Holy Spirit within us and to proclaim His good news through the words that He gives us. Instead of empty philosophies we proclaim a salvation that is real. The power of God will look different for each individual but it will unmistakably be the power of God. As we yield to Him as His instrument, He manifest through us as He wills. Expect the power!
