He UPHOLDS ALL THINGS BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER
...and we do, too, in our lives!
The Greek word for power in this verse is dunamis….power, strength, power for performing miracles, the power and influence that belongs to riches and wealth. Commonly translated as ‘miracle-working power.’
He upholds all things by the [rhema = spoken] word of His power.
But wait…in Colossians 1:11, the Holy Spirit prays that we be ‘…strengthened with ALL POWER [dunamis] in our inner man…’ The Greek word for power is DUNAMIS!!! And not just some dunamis, but ALL DUNAMIS!
The same power that Jesus upholds all things with.
How about Ephesians 3?
‘…that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with POWER [dunamis] through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD. Now to Him who is able to do FAR MORE ABUNDANTLY BEYOND ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, according to the POWER [dunamis] that works WITHIN us, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.’
We’ve got ALL-THINGS-UPHOLDING-POWER inside us! No wonder He told us to speak to trees and mountains!
HALLELUJAH!!!
