The term is frequently used in the New Testament to describe both divine and malevolent forces. It is important to understand "powers" within the broader context of spiritual warfare, divine authority, and the cosmic struggle between good and evil.<br><br><b>Biblical References</b><br><br>1. <b>Divine Powers</b> <br> The Bible acknowledges the existence of divine powers, which are manifestations of God's authority and might. These powers are often associated with the Holy Spirit and the miraculous works performed by Jesus and His apostles. In the New Testament, the Greek word "dynamis" is often translated as "power," emphasizing the dynamic and active nature of God's influence in the world.<br><br>· <b><a href="/acts/1-8.htm">Acts 1:8</a> </i>: "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."<br>· <b><a href="/ephesians/1-19.htm">Ephesians 1:19-21</a> </i>: "and the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in the present age but also in the one to come."<br><br>2. <b>Evil Powers</b> <br> The Bible also speaks of malevolent powers, often associated with Satan and his demonic forces. These powers are depicted as adversaries to God's kingdom, seeking to deceive, oppress, and destroy. The apostle Paul frequently warns believers about these spiritual forces and encourages them to stand firm in their faith.<br><br>· <b><a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm">Ephesians 6:12</a> </i>: "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world's darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."<br>· <b><a href="/colossians/2-15.htm">Colossians 2:15</a> </i>: "And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross."<br><br>3. <b>Human Authorities</b> <br> In some contexts, "powers" can also refer to human authorities or governments. The Bible instructs believers to respect and submit to these authorities, recognizing that they are established by God for the purpose of maintaining order and justice.<br><br>· <b><a href="/romans/13.htm">Romans 13:1</a> </i>: "Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which is from God. The authorities that exist have been appointed by God."<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>The concept of "powers" in the Bible underscores the reality of a spiritual dimension that influences the physical world. Believers are called to recognize the authority of divine powers, resist the influence of evil powers, and respect human authorities as ordained by God. The ultimate victory over all powers is assured through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has triumphed over every force of darkness and established His eternal kingdom.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1411.htm"><span class="l">1411. dunamis -- (miraculous) power, might, strength</span></a> <br><b>...</b> miraculous) power, might, strength NASB Word Usage ability (4), meaning (1), mightily<br> (1), mighty (1), miracle (2), miracles (17), miraculous <b>powers</b> (3), power <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//strongsnumbers.com/greek2/1411.htm</font><font color="#ff6600" size="-1"> - 8k</font><p><a href="/greek/1611.htm"><span class="l">1611. ekstasis -- a displacement (of the mind), ie bewilderment <b>...</b></span></a> <br><b>...</b> out" in trance-like amazement.
