“This is the word of the Lord ...saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”
[Zech 4:6]
To this end: “Not just to demonstrate 'raw ability,' but a relationship;” through knowing the Father and the Son...that we might be “partakers” of His divine nature.
[Pastor; Jn 17:3; 2 Pet 1:4]
Not “impersonal” power, but “person power;” intended to be made manifest in, and thru, man ...not to Lord over us, but to love us into submission to His will. “For it is God which worketh IN (us) both to will and to do of His good pleasure.” [Pastor; Phil 2:13]
We are often reminded, in the sanctuary, of one Bible translation's rendering of the scripture: “NO WORD OF GOD IS VOID OF POWER...” [Heb 4:12a]
That in the midst of the fray, we might be fully persuaded that: “Our God is Able ...and He will ...” [Dan 3:15]
