Power:
Matthew 28:18 AMP
[18] Jesus came up and said to them, “All authority (all power of absolute rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.

We have power from Jesus!!!

Luke 9:1-6 AMP
[1] Now Jesus called together the twelve [disciples] and gave them [the right to exercise] power and authority over all the demons and to heal diseases. [2] Then He sent them out [on a brief journey] to preach the kingdom of God and to perform healing. [3] And He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey [that might encumber you]-neither a walking stick, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not even have two tunics apiece. [4] Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave that city [to go to another]. [5] And as for all those who do not welcome you, when you leave that city, shake the dust off your feet [breaking all ties with them] as a testimony against them [that they rejected My message].” [6] So they began going from village to village, preaching the gospel and healing the sick everywhere.

John 14:11-15 AMP
[11] Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe [Me] because of the [very] works themselves [which you have witnessed]. [12] I assure you and most solemnly say to you, anyone who believes in Me [as Savior] will also do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these [in extent and outreach], because I am going to the Father. [13] And I will do whatever you ask in My name [as My representative], this I will do, so that the Father may be glorified and celebrated in the Son. [14] If you ask Me anything in My name [as My representative], I will do it. [15] “If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.

Purpose:

Matthew 28:19-20 KJV
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: [20] Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you:

Jesus has given us an assignment to do as we go about our lives!

Acts 1:7-8 AMP
[7] He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority. [8] But you will receive power and ability when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses [to tell people about Me] both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and Samaria, and even to the ends of the earth.”

Presents:
Jesus promised to be with us!!!

Matthew 28:20 AMP
[20] …”and lo, I am with you always [remaining with you perpetually-regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.”

We limit ourselves and God when we loose sight of these promises!!!
