Jesus promised His disciples that they would receive power (dunamis) after the Holy Spirit had come upon them. On the day of Pentecost the Spirit came, and ever since, believers have been filled with His power. It's just that many of them don't know it, so they don't utilize it. In this book we look at what the Bible says about dunamis (the Greek word for power, found in the New Testament 120 times!) and the impact it can make upon your life. You'll be surprised to see how many familiar passages use this word. As you see for yourself what God tells you about this mighty power in you, a new faith and vigor will rise up inside. May the readings in this book be anointed to take you to your next level of spiritual victory!
Millions of believers around the world at this very moment are earnestly, and in some cases, desperately, crying out for God's help in real overwhelming needs in their life, on the premise that it is divine intervention they need to bring answers and resolution to those problems. But, Jesus said, "The Kingdom of God is WITHIN you!"-which means the authority and power of the Kingdom of God is within every believer who has been regenerated, i.e., Born Again, by the infusion of the Holy Spirit in their human spirit! Jesus Himself testified to the early disciples and every other disciple of every age, "You shall receive POWER after that the Holy Ghost has come upon you to be my witnesses!" (Ac. 1:8). The ONLY WAY to be effective witnesses of the resurrected Christ is through the power believers receive through the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE! Jesus was the Heavenly PROTOTYPE of the SONS OF GOD! And as the Heavenly Model He received the power He needed to perform the works of power, miracles, signs and wonders He performed throughout His personal earthly ministry when He Himself was baptized in the Holy Spirit. In so doing, Jesus, set the precedent for every other Son of God (believer) to likewise receive the power He operated in through the BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE to fulfill His Word that the works that He did and even greater works shall believers do! Within every Spirit-baptized believer is the same AUTHORITY and POWER that raised Christ from the dead and that Jesus Himself operated in to heal the sick, halt, paralyzed; open blind eyes and deaf ears; cleanse lepers; cast out demons; raise the dead, feed the 5,000 and 3,000; and walk on water is available to every Spirit-Baptized believer! The only way to receive the power of God into your life is by receiving the same Baptism in the Holy Spirit and Fire that Jesus Himself received. "DUNAMIS! Power from on High!" by Steven Lambert, is a journey to receiving that power into your life!

Is power the essence of divinity, or are divine powers distinct from divine essence? Are they divine hypostases or are they divine attributes? Are powers such as omnipotence, omniscience, etc. modes of divine activity? How do they manifest? In which way can we apprehend them? Is there a multiplicity of gods whose powers fill the cosmos or is there only one God from whom all power(s) derive(s) and whose power(s) permeate(s) everything? These are questions that become central to philosophical and theological debates in Late Antiquity (roughly corresponding to the period 2nd to the 6th centuries). On the one hand, the Pagan Neoplatonic thinkers of this era postulate a complex hierarchy of gods, whose powers express the unlimited power of the ineffable One. On the other hand, Christians proclaim the existence of only one God, one divine power or one 'Lord of all powers'. Divided into two main sections, the first part of Divine Powers in Late Antiquity examines aspects of the notion of divine power as developed by the four major figures of Neoplatonism: Plotinus (c. 204-270), Porphyry (c. 234-305), Iamblichus (c.245-325), and Proclus (412-485). It focuses on an aspect of the notion of divine power that has been so far relatively neglected in the literature. Part two investigates the notion of divine power in early Christian authors, from the New Testament to the Alexandrian school (Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Athanasius the Great) and, further, to the Cappadocian Fathers (Basil the Great, Gregory of Nyssa), as well as in some of these authors' sources (the Septuagint, Philo of Alexandria). The traditional view tends to overlook the fact that the Bible, particularly the New Testament, was at least as important as Platonic philosophical texts in the shaping of the early Christian thinking about the Church's doctrines. Whilst challenging the received interpretation by redressing the balance between the Bible and Greek philosophical texts, the essays in the second section of this book nevertheless argue for the philosophical value of early Christian reflections on the notion of divine power. The two groups of thinkers that each of the sections deal with (the Platonic-Pagan and the Christian one) share largely the same intellectual and cultural heritage; they are concerned with the same fundamental questions; and they often engage in more or less public philosophical and theological dialogue, directly influencing one another.
"You shall receive DUNAMIS..." Shortly before Jesus ascended to the heavens, He promised His disciples, "You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you." We know the promise and we yearn to see God's power -His dunamis-on display. We desperately need it if we are going to rightly represent Jesus in the world today. But how do we ignite the explosive power of the Holy Spirit in our lives? In Dunamis Made Simple, Patricia King aims to fully acquaint you with the many aspects of God's dunamis. Through in-depth, biblical insights, testimonies and practical applications, you will not only learn about it, but you will also discover how you can position yourself to activate and operate in Holy Spirit's dunamis power. Discover how to: Receive dunamis power Activate the three-strand conduit of His power Produce virtue with dunamis Turn on the exponential power of Dunamis War with dunamis Work miracles with dunamis Create wealth with dunamis ...and so much more! Patricia states, "When you receive and activate dunamis in your life, everything changes. Negatives become positives, hopelessness turns into expectation, unbelief is overpowered by faith, sorrow becomes joy, sickness is replaced by healing and health, bondage by freedom, and poverty by riches and great wealth. These are some of the changes that dunamis will create in your life. How exciting for you!" Although this is a divine invitation, it is not really an option. If we are going to rightly represent Jesus in the world today, we must manifest His dunamis. Are you willing to give Him your "yes" to the invitation? He is ready and waiting for you. Dunamis Made Simple will ignite the explosive, power of Holy Spirit inside of you... Get ready to change your world!

The corridors of power, is a consistent birthing place for diverse kinds of abilities that has been distributed across life and creation for effective colonization. This colonization is not focused on earth per say, neither is it also directed at the human race alone. Meaning, whom ever is a recipient of power, must be consciously indoctrinated of its purpose. This book will not only take its reader on a spiritually insightful journey, but also give its reader an in-depth understanding on the origin of power, its purpose and how the corrupted nature of power has been acquired and use to perpetuate all manner of evil. By the end of this book, you will know how to tap into the realm of spiritual power. If you are curious enough about the spirit realm, then this is for you! Join me on this intense spiritual journey.
