THEME:

Receiving Holy Ghost Power for Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance

INTRODUCTION

The Christian life is a battlefield. The moment a person gives his or her life to Christ, the kingdom of darkness recognizes that a new soldier has entered the army of God.

The Bible says in Ephesians 6:12:

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

Jesus knew that His disciples would face opposition from Satan, demonic powers, persecution, witchcraft attacks, temptations, and afflictions. Therefore, before sending them into the world, He gave them one instruction: wait for power.

Without power, a believer becomes a victim.

With power, a believer becomes a victor.

The power promised in Acts 1:8 is the power that destroys yokes, breaks chains, defeats darkness, and establishes dominion.

1. THE PROMISE OF POWER

"Ye shall receive power..."

God never intended believers to live powerless lives.

The word "power" comes from the Greek word Dunamis, meaning miracle-working, explosive, supernatural power.

This power enables believers to:

Cast out devils.

Heal the sick.

Break evil covenants.

Destroy satanic strongholds.

Overcome temptation.

Walk in spiritual authority.

Luke 10:19

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy."

The power of God is superior to every power of darkness.

Micah 3:8

"But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD."

A believer filled with the Holy Ghost is not helpless.

2. THE SOURCE OF POWER

"After that the Holy Ghost is come upon you."

The source of spiritual power is not education.

The source is not titles.

The source is not human connections.

The source is the Holy Spirit.

Zechariah 4:6

"Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."

The Holy Spirit transforms ordinary people into spiritual giants.

Peter denied Jesus before receiving the Holy Ghost.

After Pentecost, Peter stood boldly and thousands were converted.

Acts 2:1-4

The disciples were transformed from fearful followers into fearless warriors.

Whenever the Holy Ghost comes upon a believer:

Fear disappears.

Bondage breaks.

Boldness increases.

Spiritual gifts manifest.

Deliverance becomes possible.

3. THE PURPOSE OF POWER

"Ye shall be witnesses unto me."

Power is not for pride.

Power is not for self-glorification.

Power is given to glorify Christ and advance His kingdom.

Mark 16:17

"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils."

Every believer is expected to become a witness through:

Lifestyle.

Testimony.

Evangelism.

Demonstration of God's power.

4. THE POWER THAT BREAKS YOKES

Isaiah 10:27

"And the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing."

Many people suffer under:

Generational curses.

Evil family patterns.

Spiritual oppression.

Delayed breakthroughs.

Demonic manipulation.

The anointing of the Holy Ghost destroys every yoke.

Not some yokes.

Every yoke.

5. THE POWER OF THE NAME OF JESUS

Philippians 2:9-11

"At the name of Jesus every knee should bow."

The name of Jesus is a weapon.

Demons bow.

Witchcraft bows.

Powers of darkness bow.

Marine powers bow.

Ancestral powers bow.

No force in existence can successfully resist the authority of Jesus Christ.

6. THE BLOOD OF JESUS IN WARFARE

Revelation 12:11

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.

The blood of Jesus:

Cancels accusations.

Breaks curses.

Destroys satanic legal grounds.

Grants victory over the enemy.

Every deliverance ministry must be rooted in the finished work of Christ.

7. CHARACTERISTICS OF A POWER-FILLED BELIEVER

A. Prayerful

Luke 18:1

B. Spirit-Filled

Ephesians 5:18

C. Word-Filled

Psalm 119:11

D. Faith-Filled

Hebrews 11:6

E. Holy

1 Peter 1:15-16

A holy life preserves spiritual authority.

CONCLUSION

Acts 1:8 is God's divine formula for victory.

Power comes from the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit empowers believers to:

Defeat darkness.

Destroy strongholds.

Fulfill destiny.

Advance God's kingdom.

Walk in dominion.
