P. 214

Jesus had not used his Godly attributes, during the course

             of his life on earth. It is be-cause Jesus needed the power of
             the Holy Spirit in order to work out his powers (Acts 10:38).

             Then, what kind of power did Jesus have that allowed him to
             impart such an authority to his dis-ciples? This was the point

             that I could not comprehend. Then, the Holy Spirit spoke
             to me and told me that the authority given to the disciples

             by Jesus was done through an ‘impartation’. This means
             that Jesus, having received the power and authority, shared

             the power and authority in him with his disciples. Can you
             comprehend this?

               Maybe you still think that Jesus, having used the power of
             his Deity, granted such an au-thority to his disciples. But this

             is not true. Not once did Jesus use his Godly powers even
             until the death on the cross. When he was hungry, I bet that

             he grasped his stomach in agony. I am sure that Jesus was
             tempted just like the others. As such, Jesus, likewise, prayed

             hard to receive the powers. Please refrain from thinking that
             Jesus had all the powers even though he did not even pray.

             The life of Jesus was simply a human life. Perhaps, his life on
             earth was lived out as the weak and poor being far surpassing

             that of the poorest and weakest among men. It was Je-sus,
             who developed the power of the spirit of God within him by
