THE POWER OF GOD IS THE HOLY SPIRIT IN HIS PEOPLE

TODAY'S SCRIPTURE: “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you” (Romans 8:11). DAILY FIRE! - Christ For All Nations The kingdom power that rested on Christ Jesus was for working signs and wonders; the same Spirit is given to those within the kingdom of God. When Jesus met a blind man, He said: “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day” (John 9:4). By this He showed that the restoration of the blind was His Father’s work. Kingdom mercies continued as long as Jesus was in the world. Moreover, they eventually resumed after He had gone.  Jesus said to His disciples: “The night is coming when no one can work.” He meant that soon He would be crucified, night would fall, and there would be no blind receiving their sight. He said to the disciples, “Without Me you can do nothing” (John 15:5)—and they did not for a long time. Then they received what Jesus had promised: power when the Holy Spirit came! Now if the power of the kingdom is the Holy Spirit, then kingdom power was given to the church on the day of Pentecost. This is more than power and authority. In a saying of key importance, Christ announced to His followers:  “It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32). Believers inherit the kingdom lock, stock, and barrel. The kingdom power that rested on Christ Jesus was for working signs and wonders; the same Spirit is given to those within the kingdom of God for the same kingdom purposes. As John the Baptist revealed:  “Upon whom you see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit” (John 1:33). The Spirit endowed Jesus, and His people, with the same power. Taken from Daily Fire Devotional: 365 Days in God’s Word by Reinhard Bonnke. Copyright © 2015 by Reinhard Bonnke.
