<div class="SSN_title">"DUNAMIS"</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: The word "but" is a disassociative conjunction, thus, is never the beginning of a thought. The disciples have met with the Lord for the last time before His ascension. He has told them to wait in Jerusalem until they were endued with the power of the Holy Spirit.</div>
|
|

|
|

|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The woman's place would be elevated to equal in the sight of God with man.</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">c. The elitist who had enslaved and abused their fellow man would cry out for their destruction.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">4. Natural man would be threatened by message.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. To allow the flesh to govern your life is death.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. The life of the Spirit is superior to the life of the flesh.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">5. The world will seek to silence their witness.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. They will be beaten, stoned, crucified, stretched on racks, fed to lions, burned.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. There are many however whose life is a hopeless mess. They are weary of </div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">their slavery.</div>

|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">a. They will eagerly receive it with joy.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level4">b. God has chosen them to share in the Kingdom of God, and they must be told.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. THE NEED FOR POWER.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. The task they faced was impossible.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Only a few more than a hundred of them against the hostile world.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. They themselves lacked an intellectual apprehension of the program of God.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. They thought Jesus had come to set up His Kingdom immediately.</div>
|
|

|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">D. They lacked the power in their own lives to live in victory over their flesh.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level3">1. This dynamic within them would change all that.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. THE NATURE OF THE POWER.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">A. They were not to conquer with sword.</div>
|
|
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Nor by sword policy.</div>
