“Your people shall be volunteers in the DAY of YOUR POWER” – Psalm 110:3a

Believers in Christ must nurture specific POWER DIMENSIONS for IMPACT: “Your people shall be volunteers in the DAY of YOUR POWER...” (Psa.110:3a). We are Envoys of Him Who sends the rod of His Strength out of Zion, to rule (v.2). Divine Power is released in diverse ways. In the coming days, we shall examine these Power Dimensions and others:

Power of the Word for Impact: “For the WORD of GOD is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword...” (Heb.4:12). The psalmist also declared: “Your WORD is a lamp to my feet and a LIGHT to my path” (Psa.119:105).

Power of the Spirit for Impact: “But you shall receive POWER when the HOLY SPIRIT has come upon you: and you shall be WITNESSES to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8).

Power of Faith for Impact: “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (Mk.9:23). “For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our FAITH” (1Jh.5:4). This dimension of Power relates to Faith in the Word of God, Faith in the name of Jesus, and Faith in His Eternal Blood.

Power of Prayer and Fasting for Impact: “The effective, fervent PRAYER of a righteous man avails much” (Jam.5:16b). No Prayer; no Power! The Lord also encouraged Fasting: “This kind can come by nothing but PRAYER and FASTING” (Mk.9:29).

Power of Praise for Impact: “But You are holy, enthroned in the PRAISES of Israel” (Psa.22:3). The Midnight Praise of Paul and Silas led to an earthquake and the release of all prisoners (Acts 16:25-26).

Power of Purpose and Vision for Impact: “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His Purpose” (Rom.8:28). Impact begins with discovery of purpose – Vision!

Power of Focus and Passion for Impact: “...But one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead. I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Phi.3:13-14).

Power of Discipline for Impact: “But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified” (1Cor.9:27).

Power of Dynamism for Impact: “Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord” (Rom.12:11). Impact requires Movement. Developing a Drive gives Impetus to Impact. No real impact can be achieved in Isolation. Impact demands Contact.

Power of Partnership for Impact: “If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven” (Mt.18:19). Partnership amplifies Impact.

These Power Channels are not isolated, but often work together to produce a Greater Impact in God’s Kingdom and the world.
