CHRIST MULTIPLE POWER PROMISE TO GIVE TO GOD'S PEOPLE
(Matthew 28:18) And Jesus
came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in
earth.
1.
CHRIST GIVES POWER TO CHRISTIANS TO OVERCOME THE SIN PROBLEM.
( Romans 6:6-13 ) [6]Knowing
this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
[7]For he that is dead is freed from sin.
[8]Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that
we shall also live with him:
[9]Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead
dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
[10]For in that he died, he died unto sin once:
but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
[11]Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead
indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
[12]Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal
body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.
[13]Neither yield ye your members as instruments
of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are
alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

CHRIST GIVES POWER TO CHRISTIANS TO HELP US TO BE FRUITFUL AND EFFECTIVE IN SERVING GOD.
( Acts 1: 8 ) But ye
shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall
be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and
unto the uttermost part of the earth.
* ( John 16:13 ) Howbeit
when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he
shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak:
and he will shew you things to come.
3.
CHRIST GIVES POWER TO CHRISTIANS TO GO TO THE REGIONS BEYOND AND SHARE THE
GOSPEL OF CHRIST WITH LOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.
( Matthew 28:18-20 ) [18]And
Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven
and in earth.
[19]Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost:
[20]Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever
I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.
4.
CHRIST GIVES POWER TO CHRISTIANS TO DEFEAT OUR SPIRITUAL ENEMY, THE DEVIL.
( Ephesians 6:10-18 ) [10]Finally,
my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
[11]Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be
able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[12]For we wrestle not against flesh and blood,
but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
[13]Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to
stand.
[14]Stand therefore, having your loins girt about
with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[15]And your feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of peace;
[16]Above all, taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[17]And take the helmet of salvation, and the
sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
[18]Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and
supplication for all saints;
5.
CHRIST GIVES POWER TO CHRISTIANS TO PARTNER WITH GOD THE FATHER AS CO-LABORERS
WITH HIM.
( 1 Corinthians 3:8-10 ) [8]Now he
that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own
reward according to his own labour.
[9]For we are labourers together with God: ye are
God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
[10]According to the grace of God which is given
unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another
buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
6.
CHRIST GIVES POWER TO CHRISTIANS TO BE VICTORIOUS IN THE MINISTRY OF THE LORD.
( I Corinthians 15:7-58 ) [57]But
thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
[58]Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye
stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye
know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
* God
bless you all always. *
