Does 'the holy people' in Daniel 12:7 refer to the church of God? What is the church's power? Can it be completely shattered? Are there other 'holy people'?

We may be going through a period of hopelessness, but must believe that all things work together for those who believe and are called for His purpose.

Human beings, even those who have been called, have an innate fear that God will not always provide. This fear originates in doubt about God's power.

After His resurrection, Jesus Christ commissioned His disciples, reminding them of His limitless power to help them in their work.

Paul knew that only through strengthening his relationship with God was he able to both abound and be abased. When we are in trouble, we need to contact God first.

Where does real power reside? All power has its source in God—and not just the kind of power we typically think of.

God's Holy Spirit typically refers to the mind of God and Christ, which is added to our human spirit to create a sound mind by which we witness of God.

God granted humans a limited measure of power and dominion at creation, but not until the Day of Pentecost of 31 AD did their potential become fully operative.

Solomon makes the subject of deference a major part of Ecclesiastes 8. Christians must always strive to see God behind those in power over us.

Persecution involves a wide spectrum, ranging from torture, physical beating, social excommunication, imprisonment and death. Our boldness should match Paul's.

God's people (as ambassadors and pilgrims) must pledge their hearts, minds, and allegiance to the coming Kingdom of God, which will last forever.

Unlike people who, because of their natural carnal nature, feel disappointment with God, God's people should never experience any disappointment with Him.

The elites' jealousy over losing political power fueled their hatred of Jesus. Conflict between those who have power and those who want it is a way of life.
