Walking in Power

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Acts 1:8 KJV

As believers in Christ, the Holy Spirit is our source of power. When He comes upon us, we naturally walk in power. He turns us into witnesses, evidence of God’s kingdom. A believer who is conscious of His presence is naturally dangerous to the enemy and to the kingdom of darkness (Acts 8, 3, and 28; Psalms 66:3). In Acts 2, when the Spirit descended, and Peter, once fearful, preached with such boldness that 3,000 souls were saved. Similarly, Stephen in Acts 6–7, full of faith and power, did great wonders and spoke with wisdom no one could resist, even in the face of death. Elijah called down fire from heaven (1 Kings 18), Samson slew thousands (Judges 15), and David, empowered by the Spirit, defeated Goliath with a sling (1 Samuel 17). These were all men empowered by the Spirit, and so are we in Christ.

This power is for dominion, for victory, and for fulfilling purpose. Jesus declared in Luke 10:19 that He has given us authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt us. The early church lived in this reality—Philip cast out demons in Samaria (Acts 8), Paul shook off a viper (Acts 28), and Peter raised the lame man (Acts 3). When you walk in power, your language, response, and atmosphere shift—you speak like one who has authority (Ecclesiastes 8:4), because you represent the King of kings (Revelation 5:10). Even in trials, be conscious of your royal identity and Spirit-empowered mandate. The enemy trembles when a believer knows who they are and walks in the Spirit's power (Psalm 66:3). You are not ordinary—you are a vessel of divine power, called to bring heaven to earth.

Prophetic word: The Lord says, “My power is within you. I have filled you with My Spirit for dominion. Do not look at yourself through the eyes of limitation or weakness, for I have anointed your hands to heal, your mouth to declare, and your feet to trample the works of darkness. This is the hour to rise in full consciousness of who you are in Me. As I was with Moses in the wilderness, David in the valley, and Paul in the storm, so I am with you now. You will lay hands and see recovery, speak and see transformation, and declare and see doors open. Be bold. Walk in power. Walk in My Spirit, for you are My witness and My instrument for this season.”

Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the precious gift of the Holy Spirit—the source of divine power in me. Today, I awaken to the reality of who I am in Christ. I declare that I am not weak, I am empowered; I am not fearful, I am bold; I am not a victim, I am a vessel of glory. Let Your power flow through me to heal the sick, to raise the broken, to speak life into dry places. Holy Spirit, quicken my spirit, saturate my mind, and lead me in supernatural wisdom and authority. I decree that every tongue of darkness raised against me is silenced, and every gate closed against my destiny is shattered by the power of God. As I walk this week, I do so as a divine witness—fearless, fruitful, and full of fire. In Jesus’ mighty name, amen.
