Chapter One
RECREATING YOUR WORLD
Recreating your world means changing the circumstances of your life; looking at your surrounding conditions and changing them to suit you; taking yourself from a particular level of life to another.
In Acts 1:8 Jesus said, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
There are basically two Greek words translated 'power' in the New Testament. The first is 'EXOUSIA' this refers to delegated power which is authority, that is, the right to act for another. It is this word that is translated power' in Matthew 9:8: “But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such POWER (authority) unto men.
It is also found in Matthew 28:18: “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power (authority) is given unto me in heaven and in earth., "
The other Greek word translated power is DUNAMIS.' This refers to inherent power; this power is capable of reproducing itself and it is from it we get the English word dynamo. A dynamo coverts mechanical energy into electrical energy and this returns in cycle. In essence and in the context in which Jesus used it, it is dynamic ability to cause changes. This is the Greek word translated power both in Luke 24:49:
"..but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with POWER (dynamic ability to cause changes) from on high."
and in Acts 1:8:
“But ye shall receive power (dynamic ability to cause changes), after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you..."
This is the reason you can recreate your world.
