Power to the People

Everybody these days is looking for power, but they are looking in the wrong area. Harry Potter may teach you spells, but that is the devil's (limited) power. Not to mention, that these folks usually have wrong motives, like revenge, on their minds. And often it's to bring themselves attention, money, and/or glory.

When you give your life to Jesus, and you give it all to Him, then He will take care of all things in your life. If someone has wronged you, you are to forgive them and leave it in God's hands. "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord."

And once you've given it all over to Jesus, He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and you will speak a new language to Him. And this will give you His power. Power to be in God's army and do His will and His work. That's the difference. It's all about bringing others into His kingdom. Healings. Words of knowledge. It's all to lead others to Christ.

It says in Acts 1, "And gathering them to together, Jesus commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to WAIT for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me; for John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."

"But you shall receive POWER when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." (And then He ascended into heaven.)

So ask for it. Wait for it. The power is for ALL of God's children.
