![]() When we truly understand the Holy Spirit we discover how inspiring God’s word, His People, His Family and our calling to it can truly be. The Holy Spirit is the power of God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ, not a person, not a co-equal sharer of power in the Godhead none of these, you know the false Trinity doctrine. Let’s start with the essential definition. It is and can be in all of us and can grow like fire – it’s the true Power to the People – God's Holy Spirit given to us! Today, we are going to examine a power that is not elusive, doesn’t come with unintended consequences and brings true love. The “love” they tried to spread and seek was and still is elusive and hard to see with the issues of living in today’s World.Īll that being said, I would like to stick with the Phrase “ Power to the People” and discuss this at some length to add to the sermon I gave on God and his Son being one a couple of weeks ago. Many we are living with today as our society continues to de-evolve, civilization continues to become less civil and there are still other issues still to come in the future. It was an amazing time period, and the rebellions that the young people pursued did usher in some changes but with them came un-intended consequences. Also, in that time frame often it was used by rebellious groups in response to their being held back by the “Establishment”, the rich, the ruling class, Vietnam and anything else that the young people saw in their way. We felt the “Power” to challenge what we saw as unjust. Good Morning everyone. Back in the 60’s and 70’s, I know it was a long time ago, there used to a popular saying “Power to the People.” Being from that time frame I know it meant that us young people, we found that the more we banded together to change the world that we saw as wrong and constricting, the more power we would have -usually through protest, referendums or sit-ins.
