Summary
The Power of the Holy Spirit
Power is the special and peculiar prerogative of God, and God alone. “Twice have I heard this, that power belongs unto God” (Psa 62:11). God is God and power belongs to Him. If He delegates a portion of it to His creatures, yet still it is His power. The sun, although he is “like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and rejoices as a strong man to run his race,” yet has no power to perform his motions except as God directs him.
The stars, although they travel in their orbits and none could stay them, yet have neither might nor force except that which God daily infuses into them.
The tall archangel, near His throne, who outshines a comet in its blaze, though he is one of those who excel in strength and hearkens to the voice of the commands of God, yet has no might except that which his Maker gives to him. As for Leviathan, who so makes the sea to boil like a pot that one would think the deep were hoary as for Behemoth, who drinks up Jordan at a draught and boasts that he can snuff up rivers.
As for those majestic creatures that are found on earth, they owe their strength to Him who fashioned their bones of steel and made their sinews of brass.
And when we think of man if he has might or power it is so small and insignificant that we can scarcely call it such. Yes, when he is at his greatest when he sways his scepter, when he commands hosts, when he rules nations still the power belongs to God.
And it is true, “Twice have I heard this, that power belongs unto God.” This exclusive prerogative of God is to be found in each of the three persons of the glorious Trinity.
The Father has power for by His word were the heavens made, and all the host of them. By His strength all things stand, and through Him they fulfill their destiny. The Son has power for like His Father, He is the Creator of all things “Without Him was not anything made that was made,” and, “by Him all things consist.” And the Holy Spirit has power. It is concerning the power of the Holy Spirit that I shall speak this morning.
May you have a practical exemplification of that attribute in your own hearts when you shall feel that the influence of the Holy Spirit is being poured out upon me so that I am speaking the words of the living God to your souls! And may it be bestowed upon you when you are feeling the effects of it in your own spirits.
We shall look at the power of the Holy Spirit in three ways this morning.
First, the outward and visible displays of it; second, the inward and spiritual manifestations of it; and third, the future and expected works thereof. The power of the Spirit will thus, I trust, be made clearly present to your souls.
The power of the Spirit in the OUTWARD
AND VISIBLE DISPLAYS OF IT
I. First, then, we are to view the power of the Spirit in the OUTWARD AND VISIBLE DISPLAYS OF IT.
The power of the Spirit has not been dormant it has exerted itself. Much has already been done by the Spirit of God more than could have been accomplished by any being except the infinite, eternal, Almighty Jehovah, of whom the Holy Spirit is one person.
There are four works which are the outward and manifest signs of the power of the Spirit creation works, resurrection works, works of attestation or of witness and works of grace. Of each of the works I shall speak very briefly.
