POWER FROM ON HIGH

Luke 24:49 says that "And, behold I send the promise of my father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with the power from on high."

Before His crucifi xion, the Lord Jesus promised the disciples and others who would believe in Him that not only would they do works He did, but they would do even greater works (John 14:12). The Father was sending the Holy Spirit to reside in us to enable and empower us for the miraculous. Jesus made the promise because of His request: “And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever (John 14:16 AMPC).Through the power of the Holy Spirit living in you, there’s absolutely no height of success or victory you can’t achieve. 2 Corinthians 4:7 says, “but we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.” You have inside you the supernatural elixir for victory. You can do all things with the Holy Spirit who lives within you. He’s the One who brings into your life enablement to blaze new trails and cause new things to happen.

From the Master’s emphasis in our opening scripture, He knew we wouldn’t be able to fulfi ll the divine call without the divine enablement that the Holy Spirit brings. But blessed be God, we’ve been embedded with the power from on high for the miraculous. Hallelujah!
