07/01/2026 – ” Dunamahee: The Power of I Can”- Day 128 / Zechariah 4: 6-9; Luke 24:49; Philippians 4:13 / Matthew Henry commentary below: Zechariah – Chapter 4 – “Fifth Vision: Gold Lampstand”
“We were all sitting down. The teacher was on a large rock, and several of the students were gathered in a semicircle at his feet.
“In the world are many powers,” he said, “the power of atoms, the power of kings, the power of armies, and the power of man. Each of these powers has conditions and limitations. But what if there was a power beyond all these powers… a power with no limitations, the power to do anything?”
No one answered.
“Messiah gave His disciples, and all the disciples who would come after them, including all of you, the Great Commission to proclaim the message of salvation to the world, to teach His Word, to do His will, and to make the disciples of all nations. But what did He tell them to do first?”
“To wait in Jerusalem,” said one of the students, “to receive power.”
“Yes,” said the teacher. “And what power was that?”
“The power of the Spirit,” said another.”
“That’s correct. And do you know what lies behind the word of the power they were to receive? The word used in the Scriptures is the Greek dynamos. It comes from the root word dunamahee. Dunamahee means to be able. And Messiah gave no condition, no qualifier, no modifier, and no limitation concerning the power to be given. What power is given to you in the Spirit? The power to become able to do that which you could never do before…the power to do that which is above your ability to do. Dunamahee means to make possible. So if you live by the Spirit, you will have the power to make possible that which was not possible. And one more thing,” he said. “Dunamahee also means can, as in I can. The power of the Spirit is the power of I can.”
“I can do what?”, asked a student.
“It doesn’t say. Again, there’s no qualification on it. You’ve been given the power of I can to do anything, the power to do all things, and the power to do whatever you need to do to fulfill the will and the calling of God. There’s no limitation. It’s the power of powers, the power to do whatever it is that you need to do. It’s the power to nullify and overcome every I can’t in your life… with the power of the I can of the Almighty.”
The Mission: Live this day in the dunamahee of God. Whatever you have to do in the will of God, claim the power of I can. And in that power, do it.
