Colossians 1:11
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness;”
δύναμις
The root of our word dynamite. But dunamis is not explosive destruction — it is the inherent ability to accomplish what needs to be done. Jesus says you will receive this power. Not work for it, earn it or deserve it. Receive it. The Holy Spirit is not a reward. He is a gift.
