The Power to do the Impossible!

"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you." ~Acts 1:8

Every single person or individual needs power. That ability and force to make things happen, to influence people through mutual acceptance and acceptability.
However, a lot of people find themselves in a position where they have become powerless (without power).
Mephiboseth, found himself in such a position of powerlessness. He was the grandson of a King (by birth in line for the throne) but because of circumstances he became powerless not of his own effort but that of others. Sometimes because of ignorance we hand over our power to our neighbour, to the enemy, and to those who can use the power that is ours against us. Esau was in such a situation, he handed over his power (birthright) to his younger brother because of hunger that is fleeting. He never realised the full meaning of the power behind a birthright. A lot of Christians have handed over their birthright through their actions and the choices that they have made. While some have had their power taken away from them forcefully or someone in authority over their life handed over power that should be theirs without their consent.

Why would you need power? When you have the power to do the impossible, your life will never be the same again. Your life and situation would experience a great and mighty change. You will have a peace that man cannot touch or shake. The power to do the impossible will put you before your maker.

1. We need power to get ourselves back on the track of life
2. With the power to the impossible you can turn impossible situations around
3. We can turn around our lives from the mistakes we made
4. We need power to do those things God command Gen 1:28
5. With power you can restore yourself to a position of riches and honour Deut 8:18
6. With power you can command the elements and do the seemingly impossible Ps 78: 26-27

Without power we loose our peace and enter into a state of fear and uncertainty. 

It is through power that man is able to prepare for his future. Power when you are young to prepare and store what is needed for your old days. 

How do we get this power?

1. Acts 1:8 Through the holy spirit coming upon you
2. Deuteronomy 8:18 When you remember the Lord thy God
3. Eccl 5:9 As a gift from God
4. John 1:12 Receiving and accepting Christ as Lord and Saviour
5. Prov. 3:27 By not withholding from whom it is due
