Part 5

Let His Power Out

We must believe that since the Holy Ghost has come upon us we are indeed sons of God with power.

Never say that, you can’t. All things are possible to them that believe. Launch out into the deep, and believe that God has His all for you, and that you can do all things through Him who strengthens you.

Peter and John knew that they had been in the upper room, they had felt the glory, they had been given divine utterances.

They had seen conviction on the people. They knew that they had come into wonderful thing.

They knew that what they had would be ever increasing, and that it would be ever needful to cry, “Enlarge the vessel that the Holy Ghost may have more room within.”

They knew that all the old things were moved away, and that they had entered into an increasing, and ever increasing knowledge of God, and that it was the Master’s wish that they should be filled with the Spirit of God, and with power every day, and every hour.

The secret of power is the unveiling of Christ, the all-powerful One within, the revelation of God, who comes to abide within us.

As they looked upon the crippled man, at the Beautiful Gate, they were filled with compassion. They were prompted by the Spirit to stop and speak with him. They said to the lame man, “Look on us.”

It was God’s plan that the man should open his eyes with expectation.

[Paraphrased. Ed.] Peter said, “Of silver and gold, we have none. But we have something, and we will give it to you. We don’t know what it is, but we give it to you. It is all in the Name of Jesus.”

And then began the ministry of God

You begin in faith, and you see what will happen. It is hidden from us at the beginning, but as we have faith in God, He will come forth.

The coming forth of the power is not of us, but of God.

There is no limit to what He will do.

It is all in a nutshell as you believe God.

And so Peter said, Acts 3:6 KJV;

Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

And the man who had been in that way for forty years stood up, and began to leap, and entered into the Temple walking and leaping, and praising God.

For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom.

I want you to keep in mind the importance of never expecting the Gifts of the Spirit apart from the power of the Spirit.

In coveting the best gifts, covet to be so full of God and His Glory that the Gifts in manifestation will always glorify Him.

We do not know all, and we cannot know all, that can be brought forth in the manifestation of the Word of Wisdom.

One Word of Wisdom from God, one flashlight on The Word of God [ie. The Lord Jesus Christ. Ed.] is sufficient to save us from a thousand pitfalls.

People have built without a Word from God, they have bought things without a Word from God, and they have been ensnared. They have lacked that Word of Wisdom which will bring them into God’s plan for their lives.

I have been in many places where I have needed a Word of Wisdom from God, and this has been vouchsafed.

I will give you one instance.
