The Power Of The Holy Spirit

By J. C. Metcalfe

    There are four things for which the dunamis (power) of the Holy Spirit is expressly stated in the New Testament to be given to us...

    (1) It is given that we might see and apprehend our union with Christ (John 14:20)....

    (2) The power of the Holy Spirit is given that we might be "strengthened with all might unto all patience and long-suffering with joyfulness" (Col. 1:11)....

    (3) The dynamite of the Holy Spirit equips us for and fits us into, the niche that God has prepared for us....

    (4) The last place in which the word endynamited is used is Ephesians 6:10. This brings us to the "spiritual conflict." Only a man endued with the Holy Spirit’s power can either understand or prevail in any way against the forces of evil arrayed against him.
