Breath of Power - Week 32/05

Week 32: August 8 - 14, 2005

THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Key Passage: Job 26: 12-14

He stirs up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He breaks up the storm. By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, and how small a whisper we hear of Him! But the thunder of His power who can understand?"

The Holy Spirit is the one that holds the creative power of God. He is the Chief Executive of the Godhead, by whom the Father and the Son perform their works. By him was all things made and sustained (Job 33:4; Job 37:10), and by him, God “adorned (garnished and beautified) the heavens” (vs. 13). Whenever the power of God is displayed, the Holy Spirit is in manifestation. By him is God’s authority enforced (Job 41:20-21) - “His hand pierced the fleeing serpent” (vs. 12-13).

So great is his power; but “how small a whisper we hear of him.” He is most gentle by his personality, and always needs a vessel to operate on the earth. He does not manipulate, intimidate or control; and he does not possess, force or compel anyone against his will. He comes upon yielded vessels to empower them and use them to manifest (Act 13:2). He releases his power (anointing) through these vessels to destroy the works of the devil and enforce God’s Kingdom of the earth.

He filled Jesus without measure to empower him for his earthly ministry. He led him into the wilderness were he was tempted, and filled him with power as he returned (Lk 4:1, 14). Jesus recognized him as the one that authorized and empowered him to preach, heal, deliver, recover, liberate and proclaim, which were the six-fold mandate of his earthly calling (Lk 4:18-19). He acknowledged that it was through the Holy Spirit he cast out evil spirits (Mt 12:28). And he told his disciples he was their greatest need for success in their calling (Jn 16:7).

This same Spirit is willing and ready to fill and empower all who believes in Christ Jesus and who desires to be vessels for God’s service. After a feast, Jesus shouted, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (Jn 7:37-38). If you believe and receive today you shall begin to experience an overflow of the power of God in your life.

Pray: Lord, fill me with your Holy Spirit and use me as your vessel to destroy the works of darkness and establish your Kingdom on the earth.
