The Power Is OURS For The Taking

He died.
Then, He was risen.
He is alive. Alive in us.

As Pastor Troy noted last weekend, the same Power that rose Him from the dead is available to US, if we only believe in Him...and access the Power.
He told us this would be....that we would have this Power.

‘If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you for ever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you. - John 14:15-17.

He also gave us a Commission. A commission is an authorization or command to act in a prescribed manner or to perform prescribed acts. It grants the AUTHORITY, the POWER, to act in behalf of, or in place of another; a task or matter entrusted to one as an agent for another. [www.merriam-webster.com]

This Power is OURS for the taking. We 'take' it by believing, trusting, accepting HIM.
We are His ambassadors. Let us be what we are! The Power is OURS.


And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’ -Matthew 28:18-20

-In Him
