Summary of "The Same Power That Raised Jesus Lives in You- Javan Smith - Charis Daily - Season 13 Ep. 5"

Key ideas & wellness/self-care/productivity takeaways (from the teaching)

Live in “supernatural power” by depending on what God provided
- Jesus’ greater works are possible because he went to the Father and sent the Holy Spirit afterward.
- The same Holy Spirit who empowered Jesus is described as dwelling in believers now, enabling the same kinds of works.
Shift your mindset from “I lack what Jesus had” to “I have what Jesus gave”
- The teaching frames a paradigm shift: the Gospels’ works aren’t powered by something permanently unavailable to others, but by the Spirit-led life Jesus modeled.
- Emphasis: your ability isn’t rooted in personal advantage, but in God’s goodness and Spirit power.
Use the “confidence + compassion” method for responding to people in need
- Confidence: approach people with assurance that you have the answer they need—not from self, but because you have the Spirit.
- Acknowledge what you lack first (honestly), then claim what you have (Spirit power).
- Compassion as a trigger: the teaching distinguishes:
  - Sympathy/empathy = human emotion
  - Jesus-compassion = an inner compassion that helps you act despite fear (e.g., fear of failure or “how I’ll look”).
- Let compassion bypass fear so gifts/answers can come “as the occasion demands,” rather than trying to manufacture results.
Follow Spirit-led action instead of self-effort
- The teaching repeatedly emphasizes that demonstrations (miracles/ministries) are not by:
  - personal power
  - personal godliness levels
- Instead, they come through:
  - faith in Jesus’ name
  - the Holy Spirit working through you
- Practical application: don’t wait to “feel prepared” through performance—respond in faith when need appears.
Reframe attention: be a channel, not a spotlight
- Example from Acts 3: Peter says “Look at us,” but the goal is that people ultimately see Jesus and give God glory, not praise the helper.
- Takeaway: engage openly with people in need, while keeping the focus on God’s work, not ego.

Core “steps” modeled in the Acts 3 example (as taught)

Notice the need at the “hour of prayer” (i.e., be present where people are).
Fix your eyes/engage directly with expectation (“Look at us”).
Name what you don’t have, then pivot to what you do have:
- “Silver and gold I don’t have… but what I do have, I give.”
Act immediately in the name of Jesus (“rise up and walk”).
Balance faith with God-centered outcomes
- help people receive strength
- encourage them to praise God rather than focus on the helper
