“Jesus called His twelve disciples, He gave them 1POWER over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.” (Matt. 10:1) “Behold, I give you the 1AUTHORITY to trample on serpents and scorpions, and OVER ALL the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” (Luke 10:19) 1exousia: authority over. Jesus gave His disciples power over ALL THE DEVILS POWER. Then He gave a “dunamis” power, a more powerful form of power, to all who receive the Holy Spirit. “…you shall receive 2POWER when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me…to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8) 2dunamis: power for performing miracles. The word dynamite comes from this word. Then we are told that the gospel of Christ is endued with “dunamis” power. “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is THE 2POWER OF GOD to salvation FOR EVERYONE who believes…” (Romans 1:16)
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall NOT RETURN TO ME 3VOID, But it shall ACCOMPLISH what I please…” (Isaiah 55:9-11) 3reyqam: without effect.
WHEN GOD’S WORD GOES OUT IT HAS POWER TO ALWAYS ACCOMPLISHES IT’S TASK…
