他說:大蒙眷愛的人哪,不要懼怕,願你平安!你總要堅強。他一向我說話,我便覺得有力量,說:我主請說,因你使我有力量。
“Do not be afraid, you who are highly esteemed,” he said. “Peace! Be strong now; be strong.”When he spoke to me, I was strengthened and said, “Speak, my lord, since you have given me strength.”

從但以理這樣的記載,讓我們看見,上帝的話是不僅是大有能力,更是可以加添我們力量。這也為什麼講道很重要之原因,講道是用上帝的話更新弟兄姐妹,使他們透過上帝的話語,越來越有基督的樣式,讓基督成形在他們的心中。
這樣的力量,是上帝透過每一位忠心傳講上帝話語的牧者所展現的。這是按正意分解真道的牧者可以看見與感受的,上帝的話是沒有一句不帶能力的。願我們都可以為這樣的大能,來讚美上帝。
而當人感受這樣的大能時,就可以確認上帝是又真又活的,並且是隨時隨地與我們同在與賜能力支持我們的上帝,透過耶穌基督將一切福氣給我們,讚美主!榮耀歸給祂!
