Mark 6:5
King James Version
8 Jun 2026
“And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. ”
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.

Few, little, small in number. Many are called but few are chosen. The way is narrow and few find it. Walking with God has always been the minority path.
