Power To Receive The Promise
Luke 24:49
God has many promises that he has declared for us to receive. We desire to receive the promises of God but those same promises seem to elude us no matter how we seek for them. The Bible declares that we should wait on the Lord and be of good courage, however, many of us are waiting for the wrong thing. When you ask God for something or God reveals a promise that he has given to you, the promise is released, we must then do as Luke says in the book that bares his name in the 24th chapter and the 49th verse and wait for Power. In this scripture Jesus says, "behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."
Webster's definition of Power is "the ability or capacity to perform or act effectively" now the word power here in scripture in the Greek dialect is Dunamis which literally means ability, abundance, strength, miraculous power. Therefore, we are waiting for the abundant miraculous ability to perform or act effectively on the promise. If you just wait for the power of God you will have the ability to receive the promise and the capacity to handle it effectively.
