Alignment Before Fire
DAY 3 — WHY POWER IS DANGEROUS
Here is the promise:
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Acts 1:8

Witness.
- Not prestige.
- Not personal advancement.

- Power in human systems protects position.
- Power in the kingdom proclaims truth.
Here’s the deeper layer:
- Unaligned people with influence cause harm.
- Aligned people with influence create courage in others.
Disruptive question:
