God's Dunamis Power !
I am God and there is no other so therefore when others place their name on my glory it is this weight they shall feel as the cornerstone crushing them downward and it is in this manner I shall correct any and all glory grabbers for I AM the kingdom and the glory and the honor is mine Says The Lord for My children return My glory to Me . Now demise is My device only for those and no others . So watch Me leave only the true of heart and though some shall leave to carry on my will other places they to shall return to drink and spill ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Acts 1:8 - Jesus said, But you shall receive power (dunamis), after the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and you shall be witnesses unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us a spirit of timidity, but of power and love and discipline
Joshua 5
1WHEN ALL the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea heard that the Lord had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the Israelites until we had crossed over, their hearts melted and there was no spirit in them any more because of the Israelites. (We today are "Sons and daughters of God ") 2At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make knives of flint and circumcise the [new generation of] Israelites as before. 3So Joshua made knives of flint and circumcised the sons of Israel at Gibeath-haaraloth. 4And this is the reason Joshua circumcised them: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way after they came out of Egypt. 5Though all the people who came out were circumcised, yet all the people who were born in the wilderness on the way after Israel came out of Egypt had not been circumcised. 6For the Israelites walked forty years in the wilderness till all who were men of war who came out of Egypt perished, because they did not hearken to the voice of the Lord; to them the Lord swore that He would not let them see the land which the Lord swore to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey 7So it was their uncircumcised children whom He raised up in their stead whom Joshua circumcised, because the rite had not been performed on the way. 8When they finished circumcising all the males of the nation, they remained in their places in the camp till they were healed.And the Lord said to Joshua, This day have I rolled away the "reproach" of Egypt from you. So the name of the place is called Gilgal [rolling] to this day. 10And the Israelites encamped in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening in the plains of Jericho.11And on that same day they ate the produce of the land: unleavened cakes and parched grain 12And the manna ceased on the day after they ate of the produce of the land; and the Israelites had manna no more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. 13When Joshua was by Jericho, he looked up, and behold, a Man stood near him with His drawn sword in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, Are you for us or for our adversaries? 14And He said, No [neither], but as Prince of the Lord's host have I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, What says my Lord to His servant? 15And the Prince of the Lord's host said to Joshua, Loose your shoes from off your feet, for the place where you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.
How awesome that must be for you.

Vlad shredded my Unabridged last year, so I’m crippled. What does “dunamis” mean?
On the upside, Vlad has an astonishing vocabulary for a 4-year-old ...
like Jacob?
Right - deceptive with words. James is Esau and Vlad is Jacob ...
Lord God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob
conform me ever more thoroughly to the image of Your Son, Jesus The Christ; King of Kings and Lord of Lords;
In your Name, Oh Lord.
I know a lot of us wrestle with God which is foolish since he will always win
The dude thinks he's God or that he speaks with God's voice.
I'm congratulating him. That must be awesome either way.
I don’t want to wrestle with Him.
I just want to nestle.
And I don’t even know how to do THAT very well.
Sigh.
It’s far more humbling than awesome.
The awesome part is that
GOD ALMIGHTY stoops so low . . . Moses . . . was known as the most humble bloke.
Yet, God did indeed speak through him awesomely.
God, when He speaks, I cannot imagine sounding like a petulant little kid:
I shall correct any and all glory grabbers for I AM the kingdom and the glory and the honor is mine
False prophets need to be kicked.
They also need to be reminded that punctuation is Our friend.

Bad Vlad! How is Mommy supposed to function online?
dunamis is power. Let's see, "1)power, might, strength, force....2)ability, capability,... 3)meaning...4)deed of power...5)resources...6)power meaning a personal supernatural spirit" --from my old Bauer, Arndt and Gingrich lexicon, with all the supporting examples skipped.
No idea what kind of off the wall special meaning the muttering neo-Montanists might pour into the term.
Just remember that “U” morphs to “Y” in our English words, (hupo- becomes hypo-, etc.) so you morph it to dynamis; then think “dynamo” or “dynamite”, and you’ll never forget that it means “power”.
Here’s a couple of online sources for you, that Vlad won’t be able to shred:
Smith’s Bible Dictionary online
http://www.biblestudytools.com/dictionaries/smiths-bible-dictionary/
Smith’s Bible Dictionary on StudyLight.org http://www.studylight.org/dic/sbd/
Both sites have lots of other referrence works available. Can’t vouch for either, as I normally use my own PC Study Bible library.
Thank you very much. So the thread title is “God’s Power Power !”.
You expected coherence?
I was thinking along the lines of “Ginormous”
Well, no.
