*Rhapsody Of Realities Daily Devotional* *POWER TO EFFECT CHANGES* _Monday, February 10th._ _Pastor Chris Oyakhilome DSc DSc DD_ _*📖Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases (Luke 9:1).*_ Observe what the Bible says in the opening verse. It tells us the Lord Jesus gave His disciples both power and authority. We often speak about authority, but let's focus on power for a moment. Power is the dynamic, inherent ability to cause changes. It's the kind of power that reproduces itself, a power that shows through tangible results. When Jesus spoke of this power, He was referring to the ability to create real change in situations. He told us that He has given us power and authority over all devils and the ability to cure diseases. I wish that everyone who is sick, diseased or afflicted would grasp this. If they only understood that the divine ability is right there in their spirits to effect a change in their conditions. The Lord Jesus said in Acts 1:8, _*“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you….”*_ Power here means the dynamic ability to effect changes, power that works like a dynamo, power with which you can create or recreate anything. Put this power to work today. It’s not something that will flow into you from heaven; it’s already within you, and it has the ability to cause cancer to dematerialize! I remember once laying hands on a man who had a large growth on his back, about the size of an egg. As I placed my hand on the growth, I could feel it move beneath my palm. It was the power of God working right there, causing the growth to move in and out as I spoke the Word. The power was effecting changes. I then commanded the growth to go, and it did! This dynamic, life-changing power is available to all who believe; put it to work today. *PRAYER* *Dear Father, I thank you for enduing me with the dynamic power to effect changes and make a difference in the lives of others. As I minister your Word, your power works in me mightily, bringing healing, restoration and deliverance to many. I’m full of faith, and I walk in this authority to transform lives for your glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.* *FURTHER STUDY📖=>* *||* *Acts 1:8 AMPC* But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. *||* *||* *Mark 16:17-18* And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. *||* *||* *Luke 10:19* Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. *||* *||* *James 5:16 AMPC* Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]. *||* *📖DAILY SCRIPTURE READING📖* *1-Year Bible Reading Plan📖=>* Matthew 27:1-26 & Exodus 38-39 *2-Year Bible Reading Plan📖=>* Matthew 13:34-43 & Genesis 41 https://healingstreams.tv/zone/GEMHLS 📌𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐄𝐗𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐋 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐎𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐑𝐈𝐒 𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐒📌👇👇 https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaN6elk0VycDs4LRdc0s 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐨 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐲 𝐣𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐌 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐋👇👇👇 https://t.me/lovewordglobalinfluencers 𝐉𝐎𝐈𝐍 𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐀𝐏𝐏 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐏 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄👇👇👇 https://chat.whatsapp.com/IHUeA006iOiA1BbOuhzHQ5 𝑲𝑰𝑵𝑫𝑳𝒀 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝑻𝑶 𝑯𝑬𝑳𝑷 𝑺𝑷𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫 𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑮𝑶𝑺𝑷𝑬𝑳 𝑻𝑶 𝑬𝑽𝑬𝑹𝒀 𝑴𝑨𝑵'𝑺 𝑾𝑶𝑹𝑳𝑫.
