The Scriptures are filled with powerful signs, wonders and miracles that occurred because of God’s power working in and through people. In the New Testament one main purpose of signs and wonders was to open doors to preach the gospel. These were a means to an end. Jesus didn’t come just to wow people with His power. He came to do the greatest miracle—to save people from their sins. When we pray for power, we are seeking power to do what God calls us to do as the church, individually and collectively. We seek the power to walk in obedience, to overcome the evil one, and to fulfill our purpose and calling in His kingdom.
