Luke 24:49
King James Version
49 And, behold,
I send the promise of my Father upon you:
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem,
until ye be endued with power from on high.
This is essential believer's tool kit.
Of waiting to be "endued with power from on high".
By ourselves, we might fail, and fumble.
But "endued with power from on high", we cannot possibly fail, or fumble.
For the SPIRIT of GOD is in us.
Here's another example from JESUS, in SCRIPTURE, of waiting to be "endued with power from on high":
Matthew 10:16-20 (KJV)
16 Behold,
I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves:
be ye therefore wise as serpents,
and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men:
for they will deliver you up to the councils,
and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake,
for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up,
take no thought how or what ye shall speak:
for it shall be given you in that same hour
what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak,
but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in you.
We must wait for instructions from the HOLY SPIRIT, who will tell us what to do, what to say, how to be, where to go -- anything that would protect us from the snare of the devil.
All our thoughts, words, and deeds -- as TRUE believers of CHRIST -- must glorify GOD.
We must not trust the world, nor our minds.
But we must be ever-trusting of JESUS.
Pay attention to the PROMISE of JESUS:
Luke 21:17-19 (KJV)
17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.
18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
19 In your patience possess ye your souls.
Faith and patience.
Believers of JESUS must have tons of those, for this unseen battle we have on earth.
