Our Source of Power
John 14:12-31
I. The necessity for the power
(Joh 14:12) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do
shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my
Father.
(Joh 14:13) And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son.
(Joh 14:14) If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
(Joh 14:15) If ye love me, keep my commandments.
A. We have a great
Commission
Vs. 12
(1Co 15:58) Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord,
forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in
the Lord.
(Mat 28:19-20) Go ye therefore, and teach all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to
observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world. Amen.
B. We have a great
Commination
Vs. 13-14
(1Th 5:17) Pray without ceasing.
(Eph 6:18) Praying always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all
perseverance and supplication for all saints;
(Psa 55:17) Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he
shall hear my voice.
(1Ti 2:1) I exhort therefore, that, first of all,
supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
(1Ti 2:2) For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we
may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness
and honesty.
C. We have great
Commandments vs. 15
(1Jn 2:3) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his
commandments.
(1Jn 2:4) He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a
liar, and the truth is not in him.
(1Jn 2:5) But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God
perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
(1Jn 2:6) He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even
as he walked.
(1Th 4:1-4) Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye
have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye
would abound more and more. For ye know what commandments we
gave you by the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, even your
sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one
of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification
and honour;
II. The narrative for the power
(Joh 14:16-19) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit
of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with
you, and shall be in you. I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little
while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. (Joh 14:26) But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my
name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.

(Exo 13:17) And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led
them not through the way of the land of the Philistines,

Egypt:
(Exo 17:8-10) Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim.
And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with

had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur
went up to the top of the hill.
(Exo 17:11-13) And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that
Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But
Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and

other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.
And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the
sword.

wellpleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for
ever and ever. Amen.
(Rom 8:26) Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should
pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
