Power From On High August 10th Devotional by Drew Kaylor & Keith Edwards

Read:

Luke 24:49

49I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

By Rev. Drew Kaylor

There is a grace flowing from the hand of God, an investment of divine energy wrapping us within. It's a quickening life that fills, moves, and lifts us out of the natural plane into the realm of the almighty. The power of his presence with no weakness to be found. Filled, yes filled! and wonderfully filled with God Himself. It's a clothing woven with the fibers of divine omnipotence. It's a mantle of Holy Ghost power and glory wrapping and covering all those who will believe. All things are possible to him that believeth. Arise in faith in the upcoming years, and let's go forth in power as we proclaim the name of Jesus, and the Spirit shall quicken us.

Comment by Keith Edwards:

This is such a great word to let God work in us in a great way by His power. I want us to see something here as we go on another day in His word and power. Power in the Greek is dunamis, and it means miraculous power, virtue, and the definition is to have inherent power or power for performing miracles. It also means power and excellence of the soul. The definition for inherent is "existing in someone or as a permanent and inseparable element, quality, or attribute." It is the intrinsic power of God Himself within us. Intrinsic is belonging to a thing by it's very nature. We have been born again by God's power, and because of that new nature, we are reflecting the very grace of God by that power to others. I do believe in miracles because I have seen miracles in my life and ministry, but we should never forget that the dunamis power here is also power to strengthen the soul morally for the miracles, healings, and every gift of power that God has for us. Many today have forgotten the one that is full of power, and primarily look at the results of the power of God Himself. We need to focus on God everyday first and foremost, so that we can walk in that grace, that quickening life, the power of His presence, and be filled so wonderfully with His love and Spirit.

Prayer:

Lord we ask that you strengthen us with you power of moral character. Sanctify us to be more like you, so that the gift's and the miracles of winning souls and other great things of your Kingdom will be so pure. Help us to focus totally on who you really are, and help us to tarry at times until we hear your voice in everything that we do.
