Beloved Names of God...series "Power of the Highest"

"Power of the Highest"

And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee; therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

Luke 1:35 KJV

 

• Name of God the Holy Spirit
• The Holy Spirit is referred to as the "Power of the Highest" once in the KJV.
• The Holy Spirit is the invisible, but no less powerful, aspect of God the Father.
• In this verse, an angel is telling a surprised young woman that she will bear the child of God.

If God the Father appeared to you, well, you would probably notice Him. Moses certainly did! If Jesus came to visit, you would surely recognize Him. But the Holy Spirit? What would that look like?

 

When you think of electricity, you might think of power lines, appliances, plugs, and sockets. But these tools simply channel a power that is impossible to see. Nuclear power conjures images of weapons, submarines, and massive power plants; but again, these images merely imply how the energy is distributed- not the energy itself.

 

Both these energy sources are a part of creation, put in place for our benefit, but they can't be seen. We only become aware of them through their results. Those results have changed our world. So how much more impressive, how much more world- changing then, would the power of the One who created creation be?  

 

We never see the Holy Spirit, but, like electrical and nuclear powers, the Power of the Highest is visible through its results. And, in the instance that angel was preparing Mary for, those results were wonderful indeed!
