This blog will attempt to
explore the different types of power that reside in and with Judeo-Christians
based on our relationship with God, the Son of God, and the Holy Spirit of God.
Why pick that topic to write about?
Depending on where we live in
the world, and what “religion” we believe in, our perspectives on power vary
widely. Based on those perspectives, human beings wield power, which is
displayed not only in Christian churches, but also nation to nation, kingdom to
kingdom, race to race, culture to culture, boss to employee, husband to wife,
justice system to criminals, etc., wherever power is exerted according to
hierarchy.
As usual, our exploration
will be based on the Hebrew and Greek definitions supplied by Strong’s
Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, interspersed with personal stories or
national examples to further support our understanding of varying displays of
power.
God gives power, i.e. to
angels, and particularly to humans. God also allows power, i.e. as it displays
itself through demonic forces at work in the world and in the churches.
How should we understand
power? How do we recognize different displays of power? Sometimes, power can be
obvious. Sometimes, power is also subtly displayed (the preferred method used
among “masters). Finally, can Christians counter-act power with power?
=====================================================
A heartfelt “Mahalo” goes out
to our global readers, who dare to take a peek at our blog once in a while.
Also, a warm “Mahalo nui loa” to our global mockers, whose input not only
validates the existence of our “good and evil” world, but also allows us to re-shape
it. Imua! —http://maile-makua.blogspot.com/
