A. PROPHETIC INSIGHT
There will be displays of the Lord's miracle working power
through those who are ready to submit to His leading in these
coming days. Similar events to what we read about in the book
of Acts will be witnessed through those who passionately
follow Him. Power encounters between forces of light and
darkness will be in full force and we will witness things
performed by the hand of God that will bring praise, awe and
great controversy.
B. DEVOTIONAL TEACHING
Dunamis ( doo'-nam-is) is a Greek word for the power of
God. In the King James Version, this Greek word is used 120
times and is translated using the following English words:
power (77X), mighty work (11X), strength (7X), miracle (7X),
might (4X), virtue (3X), mighty (2X), misc (9X)
Strong's Concordance defines it as follows:
Strength, power, ability:
a) inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its
nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth
b) power for performing miracles
c) moral power and excellence of soul
d) the power and influence which belong to riches and wealth
e) power and resources arising from numbers
f) power consisting in or resting upon armies, forces, hosts
Acts & Dunamis
During our 40 day fast, some of our Bible Reading portions
while believing for revival have been in the Book of Acts. The
following are verses from Acts that contain the word " dunamis
" (# 1411). Read through each one carefully and meditate on
them. Invite the Lord to fill you with this miracle working
power.
Ac 1:8 But ye shall receive power (#1411) , 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.
Ac 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth,
a man approved of God among you by miracles (#1411) and
wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you,
as ye yourselves also know:
Ac 3:12 And when Peter saw it , he answered unto the people,
Ye men of Israel , why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so
earnestly on us, as though by our own power (#1411) or
holiness we had made this man to walk?
Ac 4:7 And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By
what power (#1411) , or by what name, have ye done this?
Ac 4:33 And with great power (#1411) gave the apostles witness
of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was
upon them all.
Ac 6:8 And Stephen, full of faith and power (#1411) , did
great wonders and miracles among the people.
Ac 8:10 To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the
greatest, saying, This man is the great power (#1411) of God.
Ac 8:13 Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was
baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding
the miracles (#1411) and signs which were done.
Ac 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
Ghost and with power (#1411) : who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with
him.
Ac 19:11 And God wrought special miracles (#1411) by the hands
of Paul.
Posture yourself to receive and operate in the dunamis power
of God. Review the following points:
1. Tarry in the presence of the Lord like the disciples did in
Acts 1. They were focused on the Lord and in Acts 1:14 we are
shown that these believers prayed continuously in one accord.
This was a key to the visitation of God's dunamis power. They
sought Him through continuous prayer. Set some quality time
apart to seek Him and perhaps you would like to try some
fasting and prayer in order to keep a strong focus.
2. Invite the Lord to cleanse you from any unconfessed sin (1
John 1:9). Sin will defile you and keep you from operating in
the pure flow of His power.
3. Follow the Holy Spirit's leading and walk in obedience to
what He shows you to do. We are to be led by the Spirit of
God.
4. Take opportunity to do the miracle works of the Kingdom
(i.e. healing, freeing the oppressed, etc.) When you someone
sick, offer to pray for them. When you see a need, believe for
God's power to meet it. In Mark 6:36-44, Jesus instructed the
disciples to meet the need of the hungry crowd. They didn't
have the means to do so in the natural, but the dunamis power
of God produced a mighty miracle and over 5,000 were fed
through this supernatural act. Believe God for His mighty
works to be displayed in and through your life.
5. Get some good teaching and instruction on operating in
Christ's power, the healing ministry of Jesus, and the working
of miracles.
