Power in the Name of Jesus
In the day of Jesus people worshiped so many things including idols and names of different self proclaimed God’s. Whether we realize it or not we are guilty today of some of the same things. We also don’t understand the consequences of our choices. We worship money, houses, cars and especially success. None of which will bring us eternal gratification.
Jesus came to bring us a relationship that would give us power from our true heavenly father. This power would be complete and our source of strength throughout our lives.
Acts 4:13-17 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus. 14 And seeing the man who had been healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. 15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves, 16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name.”
