Transliteration:: dunamis
Phonetic Spelling:(doo’-nam-is)
Definition: physical power, force, might, ability, efficacy, energy, meaning (b) plur:  powerful deeds, deeds showing (physical) power, marvelous works.

As a people we are drawn to power or the display of power.  From early childhood we are enamored with super heroes and the great and mighty deeds they did.  We all secretly wished we could do those things too!

We were also taught that those things were fiction.  There isn’t such a thing as a super hero.  People can’t fly.  People can’t stop bullets with their bare hands, people can’t walk through walls.  So we abandoned the thought of being a super hero.

But this word dunamis is just exactly that – supernatural power.  The Holy Spirit came to bring us His power; God’s power and ability into our lives.  We’ve not lived it because we have not believed it.  Believe today that you were meant to receive, posses and use dunamis in your life.

DUNAMIS:   physical power – force – might – ability – efficacy – energy – powerful deeds – deeds showing physical power – marvelous works.

Maybe we really were meant to be super heroes.  God’s super heroes, doing God’s will on this earth.
