Power:
Recap: Genesis 1:26 Image, likeness and dominion. Mark 16:17 “And these signs will follow those who believe: In my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;”

Power is there to produce CHANGE. Not for profile or show. We need to understand what power is for!

The level of power in a person depends on 5 things:

1. Information/knowledge: Be an informed people and anointed. Be organized in your thinking and articulate the order of your thoughts. Communication is an important leadership power. Communication is information so that we can follow you when you are there and when you are not there. Leaders are readers. It is information necessary for us to change things. Knowing How To… is the key. The knowing is important. It makes the difference.
2. Inspiration: Power to inspire people. All scripture is inspired, in filled, breathed by God. 2 Timothy 3:16 “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,” Put a God-energy and ability to make people rise to a God-level of believing and achieving.
3. Instruction: Leaders have the ability to break down how a thing is done. They are not just commanders. Leaders have the power to instruct others and give guidelines.
4. Impartation: Taking what you have, who you are and giving it to others so it’s theirs. We need linear impartation. Impartation of something. Leadership needs to say: “What I have, I give to you.” Pass it on and let it multiply in others.
5. Transform situations and people: Leadership is having the ability to transform situations and people but first themselves. The person I transform first is myself. There must be a change. Transformation means empowering others to change. People can decide to change. We are made in the image of God.
