Welcome to Joy By Surprise
Without a doubt one of the most meaningful statements made by the Son of YaHuWaH concerns the authority and power He received after His resurrection. He said this:
| Matthew 28:18 | And YAHUSHUA came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. 19: Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observes all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even to the end of the world. Amen. |
Let us examine this statement as it relates to things in this universe.
1. Over all Heavenly and Earthly Powers
| Luke 4:36 | And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, What a word is this! for with authority and power He commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out. |
2. Over the Natural Elements
| Matt.8:26-27 | Then He arose and rebuked the wind ... |
| Matthew 21:19-20 | Tell story of the fig tree |
| Matthew 14:28-29 | Power to walk on water - and allow others to do likewise. |
Note: Messiah performed these amazing miracles by the power of YaHuWaH Elohim; power which is available to believers even today.
3. Over the Human Body
There are literally hundreds of recorded miracles in Scripture to prove the staggering power Messiah received from His Father over the human body; the most astonishing being when He raised the dead at a command. The miraculous healings recorded in the Gospels are very different from the dubious claims of the bogus miracle-workers of today.
| Luke 7:1-10 | ... Speak the word, and my servant shall be healed. |
| Luke 5:17 | and the power of the Lord was with him to heal. |
| John 11:43 | And He cried with a loud voice 'Lazarus come forth.' And he that was dead came forth. |
| John 10:17 | Therefore doth My Father love Me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18. No man taketh it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of My Father. |
4. Over the Human Mind
| Luke 8:35 | ...Sitting at the feet of YAHUSHUA, clothed and in his right mind. |
| Revelation 2:7 | To him who is victorious, I will give the right to the Tree of Life. See also verse 10. |
| Revelation 1:18 | I am He that liveth and was dead: and behold I am alive for evermore. Amen: and have the keys of hell and of death. |
Note: In other, words the Messiah decides whether a person lives or dies and at which resurrection he/she will come forth. Furthermore he will be the Judge on the Day of Judgment. These are awesome powers which everyone, everywhere must consider before it is eternally too late. YAHUSHUA is offering life to all; let no one foolishly ignore so great an offer.
6. Power to Confer Authority on Others
| Before His Resurrection - Healing Power |
|
|---|---|
| Luke 9:1 | He called the 12 together and gave them power and authority to overcome all the devils and to cure diseases. |
| After His Resurrection - Witnessing Power |
|
| Acts 1:8 | But you will receive power when the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and you will bear witness of Me ... to all the earth. |
| In the Millennial Age - Ruling Power |
|
| Revelation 2:26 | And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: 27: And He shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of My Father. |
| Revelation 3:21 | To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with My Father in His throne. |
7. Power Over Sin
The making of a saint out of a sinner demonstrates the power of Messiah more than anything else ever can. To be sure we may marvel at YAHUSHUA various gifts, stand aghast at his creative ability, be astonished at His power over the elements and the human body, quake before His mighty authority over the angel army; but it is only when we witness His power to overcome sin in our own lives - over the downward pull of our own sinful human minds - that we can say 'I know the power of YAHUSHUA.' I know from personal experience that He is mighty to save me from sin over my evil thoughts, my evil words and my disobedience to YaHuWaH 's commandments.. And till such time as we recognize and realize His all-encompassing power in our own lives, we are simply playing with words and scratching the surface of religious understanding and experience. Listen to these personal testimonies concerning YAHUSHUA's redeeming power:
| Job 19:25 | For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: 26: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see Elohim: 27: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me. |
| Psalm 135:5 | I know that YaHuWaH is great, and that our Adon is above all elohim. |
| Psalm 140:12 | I know that YaHuWaH will maintain the cause of the afflicted and the right of the poor. |
Can you dear friend say that? Can you say I know that my Redeemer liveth ? If you can then YAHUSHUA's power is working in your life.
