Chapter 12

Unlimited Power

Jesus knew the importance and the unlimited power of the Holy Spirit. He understood this glorious person and He knew His personality well. That was the reason He could trust Him and before He ever came to earth to take upon himself the form of man, He committed himself to be given through the Holy Spirit. That is why over and over again during the ministry of Jesus, the Scriptures tell us that the Holy Ghost was upon Him, and those great miracles that Jesus performed were a result of the power of the Holy Spirit.

This explains why I believe you and I should not discredit the manifestation of the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit today. Why is it when I tell someone to believe God for a miracle in his own life that it is often hard for that person to accept? The power of the Holy Spirit is the greatest force in the world. It always amazes me how much Peter and Paul and the Old Testament saints knew regarding this third Person of the Trinity. They were absolutely dependent upon the Holy Spirit, and you and I should have that same nearness, the same consciousness of His power as they had. We have every right to know just as much about the power of the Holy Spirit as those Christians in the early Church, for Peter said, “We have not followed cunningly devised fables [I like the way that is expressed], when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty” (2 Peter 1:16).

Pause a minute. What was Peter talking about and referring to when he wrote, “But we were eyewitnesses of his majesty”? He was talking about that wonderful experience they had on the Mount of Transfiguration when Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and brought them up into a high mountain apart, and was transfigured before them (Matthew 17:1-2). Peter was saying that he was an eyewitness, that it was not an hallucination that he had. Peter was willing to stake his very life on it, I’m sure. All the forces of hell could not have argued Peter out of what he saw.

It is true today—I have seen it. One can witness the manifestation of God’s power, that great invisible force, and when he tells someone else about the miracle, someone who was not present, that one will often use every means to explain it away as an emotional experience or hypnotism or offer some other reason to account for what really took place by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Had you approached Peter and said to him that it couldn’t be that he saw Moses and Elijah, that it was absolutely impossible, Peter would have replied, “I was an eyewitness!” An eyewitness to what? In answer to that, Matthew 17:2-4: “And Jesus was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light, and, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him [the Master].
