In yesterday’s post we saw how the Bible challenges us to tap into God’s power and that that power is available to the follower of Christ. My pastor Kend Conrad encouraged us to avail ourselves to God's supernatural power, so, continuing with our Bible “power” study:
Demonstration of God’s Kingdom
1Cor.4: 20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.
Christ the example
Luke 4: 14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.
Power is released energy
Mark 5: 30 At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. He turned around in the crowd and asked, "Who touched my clothes?"
Power related to Scriptural knowledge
Matt. 22:29 Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

I'm hoping that this series on God's empowerment will stimulate in you and me to a "holy discontent" in our walk with Christ. Yes, we have eternal life with Him, but there is more. I believe you and I live far beneath our privleges as believers in Christ. Tomorrow we’ll examine the Scriptural purpose of God’s empowerment.
