GIVEN
POWER FROM ABOVE
And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you clothed with
power from on high. Luke
24:29
And the glory which Thou hast given Me I have given to them; that they may be one just as
We are one; I in them, and Thou in
Me...
John 17:22-21a
The Spirit of the living Father was present in Christ Jesus. That same Spirit is the one
given to Christ by His Father. They were One in the Spirit. Now, in this New Covenant, we are included along with Christ. We are to be filled with the Spirit of God that we may have the power to walk
in victory!
When Jesus spoke of the New Covenant in His blood, the Holy Spirit was part of the
covenant. Endued with this power, we can overcome all sin and temptation. We can live in the same victory in which Christ Jesus lived.
But, we must believe and walk in this power. Just "speaking in tongues" is not the soul
evidence of Holy Spirit in us. The power to overcome sin; to overcome the flesh; to overcome the enemy is the complete "evidence." As we walk in the power, we truly can be
triumphant!
We also can be assured that we will hear the will of Father. The Spirit will speak to our
spirit. We can receive the direction of the Lord! Then we can walk it out in the power of Holy Spirit. We can win the war!!
Apostle James
