Why Do You Have No Power?

You did not answer his question. When JESUS says, YOU will receive POWER from on high, what does that word POWER mean to you (I know what it is...in the Greek it is dynamos, literally POWER, as opposed to exousia meaning Authority), The distinction IS meat not milk.

Ultimately GOD has all that is called POWER in creation but there are different authorities dependent on one's role. In the beginning God gave humanity dominion (He is a God of His word) and man submitting to the line of knowledge presented by Belial (the Serpent) inadvertently gave him dominion (Luke 4:5,6) and he is now the god of this world. God foreknowing all this promised a redeemer (Genesis 3:15) and Jesus is the redemption but His Kingdom (though within all who submit to His Lordship) has not yet come and will be realized in this realm at the Parousia (the 2nd Coming). Until then "POWER" is given by God as He wills but some of the worldly power we see and hear on the news is of the god of this world (Belial).
Yes I did answer his question he just was not listening, Evidently you do not have “The Gift of Languages” either.
How about seeing how my trusting Him as my Good Shepherd & Friend is the power for how I am following Him for why I would praise Him for in Heaven.
Okaaaa
 
Hello @detniona,
How do you believe the power of the Holy Spirit should be manifested both 'in' and 'through' us?
1. Repent from committing ALL sin
in your heart, mind and soul.
2. Cease from committing ALL sin
in your heart, mind and soul.
3. Become ALL holy unto the Lord
in your heart, mind and soul.

AT ALL TIMES
NO MATTER WHAT
WHATSOEVER.

How can a corrupted mind, a corrupted heart and a corrupted soul “Repent”? For these things only knows “Corruption” the ways of righteousness is unknown to them.

nternational Standard Version
"The heart is more deceitful than anything. It is incurable— who can know it?

You repeat what Calvin says abut that scripture.

That scripture doesn't say ALL HEARTS are deceitful and corrupt.
It says out of all thing that are corrrupt, the human heart is the worst.

You are too steeped in Calvinism and that way the Calvinist teachers taught you to see those scriptures.
 
The written word of God says that God searches our hearts.

If all hearts were completely evil, then what is God searching hearts for?


John 4:23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

Jeremiah 17:10 "I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve."

Acts 1:24 Then they prayed, "Lord, you know everyone's heart. Show us which of these two you have chosen

Revelation 2:23 I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.

1 Kings 8:39 then hear from heaven, your dwelling place. Forgive and act; deal with everyone according to all they do, since you know their hearts (for you alone know every human heart),

1 Chronicles 28:9 "And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

Psalm 44:21 would not God have discovered it, since he knows the secrets of the heart?

Psalm 139:23 Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

Proverbs 17:3 The crucible for silver and the furnace for gold, but the LORD tests the heart.

Jeremiah 11:20 But you, LORD Almighty, who judge righteously and test the heart and mind, let me see your vengeance on them, for to you I have committed my cause.

Well I don’t what Calvin said! I ain’t into him like that! But I know what the book says! And I do not have to defend it!
It can defend itself.

Have like those “apples” Fruit!

I'm not asking you, I'm explaining to you.

Are you able to reason with?

Your false Luther, Calvin, and all protestant teachers taught you wrong.

Question: how many people here on this forum have you been able to convince that this doctrine your trying to teach is true?

It seems to me that instead of planting seeds, you’re simply creating a lot of discord.

If you truly follow God‘s word the way you claim to, why don’t you read Matthew 10:14 and try to abide by it?

You trying to blame me for something you do. Who do you think you are fooling?
Let's have a list of all those you changed and convinced of your doctrine. Bahahahahahaaa

You think this is a town and I only go by what you say?
I am a member of this town, so it looks like I live here and am not just visiting.
You keep talking to me, so evidently you want me to stay and talk to you.

I got book, a “translation” too! I know how to read and on a college level and ghetto level and professional and a “religious level and a theological level” and I know how to translate “The Original Copied Manuscript” without a computer or internet.
Take your pick.
“Textus Receptus”
“Codex Vaticanuis”
“Codex Sinaiticus”
“Alexandrian Text Type”
Jumping around here don’t even know the difference between a Greek word from a “transliteration” word.
And got the nerve to call me out at “High Noon”. Raging about my Gun is bigger than yours.
There is always a Gun Slinger trying to make a name for his self.

They ain’t going to play with “SATAN”. Or one of those “High Ranking Demons”! That Demon will Slap them like a woman with a wet dish rag in the kitchen on a Friday night after she been working all week cleaning house.and cooking.

You have answered my question, in your own special way, which is no, you can't be reasoned with.
 
By the power of the Holy Ghost.
Your quote:
“By the power of the Holy Ghost”

Meaning a corrupted finite mind, can be “empower” by “The Holy Ghost”
Is that the same as a evil mine now has the power of a “GOD”?
