The Power of God

Acts 1:8 / "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Hymn #391 A Wonderful Savior is Jesus My Lord (Unified Hymn 446)

The third "Foundation of Faith" is the power of God. Because nothing else was possible, Jesus said that it must be "only." (Acts 1:8) Because Remnants have to go the fields of "Nobody" and "Nothing," they absolutely need this power. This power is given solely to those who've been saved. God has always given this power to Remnants to save the age. That's why they don't have to fear that which doesn't exist or work. God just wants to give "The 5 Powers." There's a reason why you must first acquire "Spiritual Power," which is the power of God. Within God's power, "Intellectual Power"; "Physical Power"; "Financial Power"; and "Manpower" emerge. Then, how does the power of God come upon you?

1. The Triune God
The Holy Spirit is the power of the Triune God. In Genesis 1:26, it states, "Let us make man in our image." The word "our" is used because it's the Triune God. Also, Jesus, who is fundamentally God, but in the form of a person, came clothed as a man to save you. (Philippians 2:6-11) Also in Matthew 28:16-20, Jesus commands, "Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."

2. A Promise
The following is a promise made by Jesus, "I will send you the Holy Spirit, the Counselor," and "He will remind you of everything." (John 14:16 & 14:26) Then Jesus said, "True peace will come, and all the words that you've heard will be understood." (John 14:27 & 16:13-14) In the end, Jesus said that He would give you power to go to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8)

3. Evidences
Joseph who was moved by the Spirit of the Lord; Moses who possessed God's mighty hand; Samuel who heard God's voice three times, David in whom the Spirit of the Lord came upon in power; Elisha who sought a double portion of spirit; and the members of the Early Church who received "only the filling of the Holy Spirit" were witnesses who possessed evidences.

When Remnants listen to the Word, their spiritual states are created. During the Remnant years, by believing and repeating the Word just a little, it'll change into something that's eternal. In doing so, Remnants just have to create masterpieces that'll change the age. That's why Remnants must cultivate the habit of having holy meditation and taking notes regarding the Word that they've received.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may Remnants engrave the Word onto their hearts. I truly believe that You'll utilize Remnants to relay Your Kingdom throughout the entire world. Thank you for giving me this time to prepare. Within every church, may Remnants make masterpieces that'll fulfill Your Kingdom. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
