Luke 21:26
King James Version
9 Jun 2026
“Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”
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.

Fear, reverence, terror. Phobos. Perfect love casts out fear. Fear and love cannot fully coexist. As love grows fear shrinks. Let love displace what fear has occupied.
