Bible Note: Hi Doc: In the answer I gave to Librarian, I listed Luke:10. When Jesus sent out the 70. I intentionally left out the referance to Mtt.10, because of the admonition to the disciples to not go to the Gentiles, but only to the lost sheep of Israel. How are we to minister to the world, unless we have been endued with the same power they were. If we believe we have received the Holy Spirit, at Baptism, then we HAVE BEEN endued with power as they were. We as believers,have been told by Jesus, to do as we have seen him do, and far greater. How can that be accomplished, unless we have that POWER residing in Eartehin Vessles. Paul lists for us the gifts of the Spirit. 1Cor.12 All of those gifts listed, are for the Body of Christ, are we at that point to believe that Jesus, and God himself, didnt intend for us to take that power to the lost of the world. 1Cor.2:4-5 Paul didnt preach to them in the wisdom of Men, but in the power, and demonstration of the Spirit, so that there faith wouldnt be in the wisdom of men but in the POWER of GOD. 1Cor.4:20 For the Kingdom of God is not in word, but in POWER. |
