I tell you what this power that is spoken of is simply amazing. Luke 4:31-37. Jesus was speaking in Capernaum. Verse 32 “And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power” AMEN. Every day that i read the word of God i am reminded of His power, and the beautiful part he lives within me. I have the power for the Holy Spirit lives within me. When we preach or even when we simply live our lives, we should live and preach in a way that our word is with power. People should know that whatever we do, we do in the Lord and because of the Lord.

    How strong is this power, let us look at verse 33-34 ” and in the synagogue there was a man, which had a spirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with a loud voice, saying, let us alone; what have we do to with thee, thou Jesus of Nazareth: are though come to destroy us? I know thee who thou are; the Holy One of God.” The power is so strong the demons within a man cried out in fear of the word of Jesus. How can this power be applied to our lives today? You think if we spoke out in the power of the word of God that demons would be in fear? Do you think lives would be changed? I most certainly do. I know that when we speak boldly and powerfully from he word of God people will change.

    verse 35 ” And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him and hurt him not.” Jesus reveals his greatness in this account by his powerful preaching. He also wants like said before for us to have this power in our preaching and day to day lives.

verse 36 stated they were all amazed. To many in my eyes Christ is yet just an experience and nothing more. He amazes people but its just experience. What the difference is that we have taken the experiences we have had and made them be our lives. We don’t need to hold to the teachings of Christ as mere experiences but rather as looking at them as Truth and allowing the to change our lives. See the people were amazed, so what. I don’t want people just to be amazed i want them to be changed by the Holy Spirit. And what does that take it takes the power of God’s word spoken from us and through our lives.

    Today let God not just be an experience but a life changing event in your life. Today speak boldly of the word with the power of Christ and may you be be forever changed because of His grace.
