RECAP & TRANSITION FROM PART 1

The sermon begins by reaffirming that:

• Jesus is compassionate in heart

• His power flows from love, not performance

Part 2 shifts the emphasis from who Jesus is to how believers must respond in order to experience His power practically.

2. POWER RESPONDS TO FAITH

A major teaching point in this session is that God’s power is released where faith is present.

Key Emphases:

• Faith is not passive belief; it is active trust

• Many people admire Jesus but few engage Him with faith

• Miracles in Scripture followed faith-filled responses

Teaching Insight:
Knowing Jesus’ heart without exercising faith limits the manifestation of His power.

3. OBEDIENCE AS A CHANNEL OF POWER

The sermon highlights obedience as a crucial requirement for walking in Christ’s power.

Key Lessons:

• Obedience positions believers for divine intervention

• Delayed or partial obedience weakens spiritual authority

• Jesus often required an action before releasing miracles

Key Statement (Paraphrased):
The power of Jesus often flows after instruction is obeyed.

4. LIMITATIONS ARE OFTEN SELF-IMPOSED

The preacher addresses how doubt, fear, and unbelief restrict believers.

Areas Identified:

• Limiting God based on past disappointments

• Allowing logic to override faith

• Expecting outcomes without corresponding spiritual engagement

Spiritual Truth:
Jesus’ power is unlimited, but human unbelief can restrict its operation.

5. AUTHORITY GIVEN TO BELIEVERS

Part 2 emphasizes that Christ not only has power, but delegates authority to believers.

Key Points:

• Believers operate under Christ’s authority

• Spiritual power is exercised through alignment with Christ

• Prayer, faith, and obedience activate delegated authority

This section encourages believers to stop living powerless Christian lives.

6. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

Listeners are challenged to:

• Act on God’s Word with confidence

• Pray with expectation, not uncertainty

• Trust Jesus fully, even when outcomes are unclear

• Live consciously aware of Christ’s power within them

7. CALL TO COMMITMENT

The sermon closes with a strong spiritual charge:

• A call to deeper faith

• A call to obedience

• A call to live out the power of Christ daily

The emphasis is not just hearing the Word, but becoming doers.

8. CONCLUSION

Part 2 concludes by reinforcing this truth:

When believers align with the heart of Jesus and respond in faith and obedience, His power becomes evident in their lives.
