Power and Faith

"And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and signs among the people."
Acts 6:8     

For the majority of my life I believed that if a person had power it would be inevitable that they use it for evil, no matter how good they were before they had power.
(ie. David with Uriah) 

Power isn't necessarily evil. Stephen had power, but applied his power to his faith and the results were considered to be "great wonders and signs", according to the Word of God. We shouldn't avoid having power, but we should embrace it according to our faith and use it for the ministry of Christ.   

"...And they (the opposition) were not able to resist the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke".
Such a wonderful outcome!
