God's Power Working In You

The following Scriptures all speak of the wonderful effectual working of God's power in those who are His. Just prior to Jesus’ ascension into heaven, He told his disciples that they would be witnesses unto Him “unto the uttermost part of the earth”; that they would receive power after the Holy Ghost had come upon them. He said: “all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. GO YE therefore”. [Acts 1:8-10; Matthew 28:18-19]


Psalm 110:1-3 (in part)
A Psalm of David. The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. The LORD shall send the rod of Thy Strength out of ZION: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. Thy people shall be willing in the day of Thy power ...

GOD THE HOLY GHOST - that speaketh in you - Mark 13:11
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, AND THE WORD WAS GOD ... and THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH and dwelt amng us..." (John 1:1 & 14)

JESUS SAID: "I and my Father are one" (John 10:30). - "...he that hath seen me hath seen the Father..." (John 14:9). - "...if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also" (John 8:19). -

Isaiah 9:6
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and HIS NAME SHALL BE CALLED Wonderful, Counsellor, THE MIGHTY GOD, The EVERLASTING FATHER, The PRINCE OF PEACE.

John14:27
PEACE I leave with you, MY PEACE I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Although the word "trinity" is not in the Bible, there is so MUCH MORE stated in the Word of God that PROVES that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are ONE.

The Lord Our Righteousness

THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

Jeremiah23:5-6 - Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
-----------------------------------------------------

Romans8:1 & 4 - There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are IN Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. ... 4 That the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the law might be FULFILLED IN US, who walk not after the flesh, but AFTER THE SPIRIT.
-----------------------------------------------------
Philippians1:11 - Being FILLED with the fruits of RIGHTEOUSNESS, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.

Matthew5:20 - For I say unto you, That except YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS shall EXCEED the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the SCRIBES ...and PHARISEES, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
-----------------------------------------------------
Romans10:2-4 - For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and GOING ABOUT TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of THE LAW for RIGHTEOUSNESS to every one that BELIEVETH.
-----------------------------------------------------
Philippians3:9 - And be found in him, NOT HAVING MINE OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, which is of THE LAW, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the RIGHTEOUSNESS which is of God BY FAITH:
-----------------------------------------------------

ACCORDING TO ROMANS 8:1 thru 8:4 we will be CONDEMNED IF ... we walk after the flesh, BY GOING ABOUT TO ESTABLISH OUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS of THE LAW. but ... IF WE walk after the Spirit the LAW OF RIGHTEOUSNESS will be FULFILLED in us BY JESUS CHRIST, by whom we are FILLED WITH THE FRUITS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS –( Philippians. 1:11) Jesus said: "Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but TO FULFIL" (Matthew 5:17)

ACCORDING TO Ephesians 2:4-10; Philippians 3:12; Hebrews 13:20-21 and John 6:62-3, it is through Christ's BLOODY Sacrifice of the EVERLASTING COVENANT and HIS SUBSEQUENT "gift" of the Holy Spirit that the RIGHTEOUSNESS of THE LAW is FULFILLED in us who BELIEVE. COMPARE THE FOLLOWING SCRIPTURES:


Ephesians2:8-10 - For by grace are ye saved THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is THE GIFT OF GOD: 9 Not of WORKS, lest any man SHOULD BOAST. 10 For we are HIS WORKMANSHIP, created IN CHRIST Jesus unto good works, which GOD HATH BEFORE ORDAINED that we should walk in them.
-----------------------------------------------------

Philippians2:13 - For it is GOD which WORKETH IN YOU both to WILL and TO DO of his good pleasure.

-----------------------------------------------------
Hebrews13:20-21 - Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, ..., through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 MAKE YOU PERFECT in every good work TO DO HIS WILL, WORKING IN YOU that which is WELLPLEASING in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen
-----------------------------------------------------
Galatians3:1-3 - "... who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the TRUTH, before whose eyes JESUS CHRIST hath been evidently set forth, CRUCIFIED among you? ... RECEIVED YE THE SPIRIT by the WORKS OF THE LAW, or by the hearing of FAITH? Are ye so foolish? HAVING BEGUN IN THE SPIRIT, are ye now MADE PERFECT by the FLESH?"
-----------------------------------------------------
John6:62-63 - WHAT and IF ye shall see the Son of man ASCEND UP WHERE HE WAS BEFORE ? It is THE SPIRIT that quickeneth; the FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: the WORDS that I SPEAK UNTO YOU, they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE. (Jesus was definitely referring to His Crucifixion and subsequent gift of the Holy Spirit - SEE THE FOLLOWING:
-----------------------------------------------------
John16:7 - Nevertheless I tell you the TRUTH; It is EXPEDIENT for you that I go away: for if I go not away, THE COMFORTER will not come unto you; but IF I DEPART, I WILL SEND HIM TO YOU.
-----------------------------------------------------
John7:38-39 - He that BELIEVETH ON ME, as THE SCRIPTURE HATH SAID, out of his belly shall flow rivers of LIVING WATER. 39 But THIS SPAKE HE OF THE SPIRIT, which they that BELIEVE ON HIM should RECEIVE: for THE HOLY GHOST was not yet given; BECAUSE that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
-----------------------------------------------------
John6:63-64 - It is THE SPIRIT that quickeneth; THE FLESH PROFITETH NOTHING: the WORDS THAT I SPEAK unto you, they ARE SPIRIT, and they LIFE. 64 BUT there are some of you THAT BELIEVE NOT. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were THAT BELIEVED NOT, and who should betray him.
