>The Holy Spirit: The Ability to Do
>
>Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the
>city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.
>--Luke 24:49
>
>A definition of the word "power" means the ability to do. You know,
>because it is the Greek word from which our English word "dynamite"
>comes, some of the brethren try to make out that the Holy Spirit is
>dynamite, forgetting that they have the thing upside down. Dynamite
>was named after that Greek word, and the Holy Spirit and the power
>of God were not named after dynamite. Dynamite was discovered less
>than 200 years ago, but this Greek word from which we get our word
>"power" goes back to the time of Christ. It means "ability to do"--
>that is all, just "ability to do."
>
>One man picks up a violin and he gets nothing out of it but
>squeaks and raucous sounds. That man doesn't have the ability to
>do. Another man picks up the violin and he is soon playing
>beautiful, rich melodies. One man steps into the prize ring and
>can't even lift his hands. The other fellow walks in and he has
>power to do, and soon the fellow who did not have the abiltiy to
>do is sleeping peacefully on the floor.
>
>It is the man with the ability to do who wins. It means the dynamic
>ability to be able to do what you are given to do. You will receive
>ability to do. It will come on you.  The Counselor, 61-62.
>
>"Again, Lord, help us to not be afraid of this all-important
>manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Come on our churches in power as
>we rely upon the Spirit for 'the ability to do' whatever You have
>called us to do. In fact, let me see Your power at work in my life
>even today. Amen."
