Waiting for the power

Have you ever seen, "invasion of the body snatchers"?
A good visual application of how demons work. Like the parable of the tares sown in the field of the wheat "while men slept". Where does that bring us to now? "Trust not in a friend, nor a brother, for the son dishonors his father, the daughter-in-law is against her mother-in-law...a man's enemy shall be of his own household." Did not Jesus bring the sword of the Spirit? ("I came not to bring peace, but a sword") It is the offence of the cross. Christ crucified by wicked hands, dead 3 days, risen from the grave, seen first by Mary Magdelene "out of whom he had cast seven devils" and then by Peter "who outran John"  and then the rest of the disciples, and seen by many witnesses. After breathing on them to receive the Holy Ghost, he commanded them to go into all the world " and preach repentance for the remission of sins. Jesus ascended into heaven, sitting on the right hand of the power of God. And sent the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, and poured it out upon as many as had gathered in the upper room "in one accord" watching and praying. Waiting for the power to become witnesses of the Living God.  What does this mean? Jesus Christ is the Lord.
