Essential: God's Power

And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven. (Luke 24:49 NLT)

But when the Holy Spirit comes to you, you will receive power. You will be my witnesses… (Acts 1:8 NCV)

 

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they began to speak different languages by the power the Holy Spirit was giving them. (Acts 2:4 NCV)

 

“I am not afraid that the people called Methodists should ever cease to exist either in Europe or America. But I am afraid, lest they should only exist as a dead sect, having the form of religion without the power.” (John Wesley, 1786)

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy Name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, for ever and ever.  Amen.
