Recognize the Power Within – What “POWER” Christ’s Followers Have According to the KJV

​​​​​​​

Posted June 16, 2025 | End Times Watch

Many believers walk through life unaware of the incredible power that has been given to them through Jesus Christ. This is not a power of pride or domination, but a divine, Spirit-filled power that enables us to live victoriously, love unconditionally, and stand boldly in a fallen world. The King James Version (KJV) of the Bible speaks clearly about the strength, authority, and spiritual gifts that every follower of Christ possesses. Let’s explore what Scripture says about this supernatural power.

Power to Become the Sons (and Daughters) of God

“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” – John 1:12, KJV

When we receive Jesus Christ by faith, something truly miraculous happens. We are not only forgiven of our sins—we are reborn into a brand-new identity. We become sons and daughters of God. This isn’t symbolic. It’s not a metaphor. It’s a spiritual reality sealed by the power and presence of the Holy Spirit.

Think about it: the Creator of the universe, the Holy One of Israel, adopts us into His family. We are no longer slaves to sin, fear, guilt, or shame. We are no longer defined by our past mistakes, family background, or worldly labels. We are God’s children, chosen and loved. This divine adoption gives us full access to His promises, His protection, and His presence.

This identity gives us power—not power to exalt ourselves, but power to live as God’s representatives on the earth. We walk as children of light, ambassadors of the Kingdom, clothed in righteousness and filled with the Spirit of God. We are heirs of eternal life, with a secure future in the Father’s house.

In the end times, this identity becomes even more crucial. As darkness increases, deception spreads, and the love of many grows cold, those who know who they are in Christ will stand firm. They will not be shaken by fear or led astray by false voices. They will walk in truth and authority, sealed by the Spirit and marked as God’s own.

If you believe in Jesus—truly believe—then you are no longer who you once were. You are not alone, not forsaken, and not forgotten. You are a child of God, born of His Spirit, destined to reign with Christ forever.

Let this truth sink deep into your soul:
You are no longer a servant— you are a son.
You are no longer an orphan— you are a daughter.
You are no longer lost— you are found.
And your Father is the King of Kings.

Power Over the Enemy

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” – Luke 10:19, KJV

This is spiritual authority. Christ has already defeated Satan, and His victory is ours. In His name, we stand against the devil’s lies, temptations, and attacks—and we win, not by our strength, but by His power.

Power Through the Holy Ghost

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me…” – Acts 1:8, KJV

The Holy Spirit empowers us to live holy, to speak boldly, and to walk in truth. That same power that raised Jesus from the dead now dwells within every believer.

Power to Love and Endure

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” – 2 Timothy 1:7, KJV

The world may be gripped by fear and confusion, but God’s people are filled with courage, love, and mental clarity—traits that will shine ever brighter in the darkest days.

Power to Do Greater Works

“He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” – John 14:12, KJV

Jesus promised His followers would carry His mission forward with even greater impact. That same power is active in us today—and it will increase as the end approaches.

Power to Stand in the End Times

As the world spirals into chaos and the final days unfold, believers will not be left weak or helpless. The KJV makes it clear: God’s people will be empowered to endure, to witness, and to overcome.

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.” – Daniel 11:32, KJV

In the midst of deception, persecution, and tribulation, true followers of Christ will rise up. Not in fear—but in faith. They will do mighty works, stand boldly for truth, and shine as lights in the darkness.

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” – Revelation 12:11, KJV

This is the power of the end-time believer: fearless, faithful, and full of the Spirit of God. Even in the face of death, they will overcome.

Final Thoughts: Use the Power You’ve Been Given

The days are growing darker, but God’s people are growing stronger. Now is not the time to shrink back—it’s time to rise up in the power Christ has already given you. If you’re in Christ, you have power. It’s time to use it to spread the gospel, love the lost, resist the enemy, and prepare for the soon return of the King.

“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.” – 1 Corinthians 16:13, KJV

“Watch ye”

Meaning: Be alert. Stay awake spiritually.
Paul is urging believers to be vigilant against sin, deception, and spiritual laziness—especially in a world filled with temptation and false teaching. Jesus also said, “Watch and pray” (Matthew 26:41), and Peter echoed it: “Be sober, be vigilant…” (1 Peter 5:8).

“Stand fast in the faith”

Meaning: Hold firmly to the true gospel.
Don’t compromise your beliefs or waver in your trust in Jesus Christ. Stand your ground against anything that contradicts the truth found in God’s Word.

“Quit you like men”

Meaning: Act with courage and maturity.
This is an old English way of saying, “Be brave like a man.” It’s a call to grow up spiritually, face adversity with boldness, and take responsibility for your faith like a mature believer.

“Be strong”

Meaning: Draw strength from God and walk in spiritual power.
Not by your own might, but through the Holy Spirit. Ephesians 6:10 echoes this: “Be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.”

This verse is a call to spiritual alertness, faithfulness, courage, and strength—especially needed in the last days. It challenges every believer to be watchful for Christ’s return, stand unwavering in truth, and live with boldness as a soldier of Christ. Let’s you and me…together, accept this spiritual call, and stand for Christ.
