Power

The four horns that replaced the broken one represent four kingdoms that will rise from that nation but will not have the same power.

His power will be great, but it will not be his own. He will cause terrible destruction and succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy the mighty men along with the holy people.

Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece.

After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will go to the king of the North to seal the agreement. But his daughter will not retain her position of power, nor will his strength endure. At that time she will be given up, along with her royal escort and her father and the one who supported her.

After an alliance is made with him, he will act deceitfully; for he will rise to power with only a few people.

And with a large army he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the South, who will mobilize a very large and powerful army but will not withstand the plots devised against him.

He will extend his power over many countries, and not even the land of Egypt will escape.

And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by Him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been shattered, all these things will be completed.”

As for me, however, I am filled with power by the Spirit of the LORD, with justice and courage, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.

The LORD is slow to anger and great in power; the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. His path is in the whirlwind and storm, and clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

His radiance was like the sunlight; rays flashed from His hand, where His power is hidden.

Jesus answered, “You are mistaken because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.

“You have said it yourself,” Jesus answered. “But I say to all of you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven.”

At once Jesus was aware that power had gone out from Him. Turning to the crowd, He asked, “Who touched My garments?”

Then Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, there are some standing here who will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God arrive with power.”

Jesus said to them, “Aren’t you mistaken, because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God?

At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.

“I am,” said Jesus, “and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming with the clouds of heaven.”

All the people were overcome with amazement and asked one another, “What is this message? With authority and power He commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

One day Jesus was teaching, and the Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. People had come from Jerusalem and from every village of Galilee and Judea, and the power of the Lord was present for Him to heal the sick.

The entire crowd was trying to touch Him, because power was coming from Him and healing them all.

But Jesus declared, “Someone touched Me, for I know that power has gone out from Me.”

Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.

Then Jesus called the Twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and power to cure diseases.

And when Peter saw this, he addressed the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised by this? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?

They had Peter and John brought in and began to question them: “By what power or what name did you do this?”

With great power the apostles continued to give their testimony about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And abundant grace was upon them all.

Now Stephen, who was full of grace and power, was performing great wonders and signs among the people.

…and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”

…and all the people, from the least to the greatest, heeded his words and said, “This man is the divine power called the Great Power.”

“Give me this power as well,” he said, “so that everyone on whom I lay my hands may receive the Holy Spirit.”

…how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

…to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those sanctified by faith in Me.’

…and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by His resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord.

I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew, then to the Greek.

For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse.

For the Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display My power in you, and that My name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”

What if God, intending to show His wrath and make His power known, bore with great patience the vessels of His wrath, prepared for destruction?

Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

…by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

…by the power of signs and wonders, and by the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ.

For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with words of wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power.

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

…but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

My message and my preaching were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power,

…so that your faith would not rest on men’s wisdom, but on God’s power.

But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only what these arrogant people are saying, but what power they have.

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, along with the power of the Lord Jesus,

By His power God raised the Lord from the dead, and He will raise us also.

Then the end will come, when He hands over the kingdom to God the Father after He has destroyed all dominion, authority, and power.

It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us.

…in truthful speech and in the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;

The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the flesh. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

But He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest on me.

For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. For we are also weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him concerning you.

For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. For we are also weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him concerning you.

…and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength,

…far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

…in which you used to walk when you conformed to the ways of this world and of the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit who is now at work in the sons of disobedience.

I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace, given me through the working of His power.

I ask that out of the riches of His glory He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being,

…will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us,

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power.

I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to Him in His death,

…who, by the power that enables Him to subject all things to Himself, will transform our lowly bodies to be like His glorious body.

…being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have full endurance and patience, and joyfully

And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.

…because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power, in the Holy Spirit, and with great conviction—just as you know we lived among you for your sake.

The coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder,

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.

So do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, or of me, His prisoner. Instead, join me in suffering for the gospel by the power of God.

…having a form of godliness but denying its power. Turn away from such as these!

Now since the children have flesh and blood, He too shared in their humanity, so that by His death He might destroy him who holds the power of death, that is, the devil,

…one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail.

…who through faith are shielded by God’s power for the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.

If anyone speaks, he should speak as one conveying the words of God. If anyone serves, he should serve with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory and the power forever and ever. Amen.

To Him be the power forever and ever. Amen.

His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

Yet not even angels, though greater in strength and power, dare to bring such slanderous charges against them before the Lord.
