Holy Spirit Power

1 February 2011

1 Corinthians 2:3-5 And I was with you in weakness and in much fear and trembling; and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.

To be able to preach is to be able to proclaim the Kingdom of God is at hand, a message of repentance and the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Paul in the context of His audience knew that the people reading his letter would know what it means to be in the presence of a preacher who in his preaching demonstrated the Holy Spirit and in power. All the study of scripture, degrees and diplomas in theology and bible study, only leads us to the feet of the crucified Jesus Christ, no amount of learning or human wisdom can replace the demonstration of the Holy Spirit.

Our faith is not based on a logic or rationalism, it is based on a mystery, and so for many people even theologians they struggle with faith. Faith cannot be measured, it cannot be evaluated, and it cannot be contained, faith is infinite, yet it can be tested, it can be proved, it can be received by all. When we seek answers from human wisdom, we will find human solutions, when we seek answers from God, we will find heavenly solutions. This context must be understood when a preacher, preaches in the name and power of Jesus Christ, and it is this faith that the Holy Spirit responds and is then demonstrated in power.

Be encouraged today to let your faith rest in the power of God.

David
