Power

Power is something that many people desire to attain. This desire stimulates us as we strive to acquire as much of it as possible. It can also be bad if it is abused. Terrorists and suicide bombers use Power that has been given to them by the god of this world, and using it to kill and maim anyone without cause.

Real Power comes from God and a good example of this, is a story in the Bible regarding the Power that was given to Moses, when he had to cross the Red Sea. God gave him Power to part the Sea so the children of Israel could walk across on dry ground. (Exodus 14:16)

When Jesus Christ, the Son of God returns to this world, descending from heaven with a shout, the dead will rise first. Then we who are alive in Christ, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air (1 Thess. 4:16-17). When this event takes place, there will not be enough words to describe the power God will be using.
