Human power = dung, so know and demonstrate the marks of Spiritual power!
Pauls talks of the flesh meaning human-initiated activity with out the aid of divine grace. People can do many things in the power of the flesh, but they cannot do the work of the Spirit of God. Paul states that he had given up on the power of the flesh recognising that it relied on such things as position, money and connections and counting those things as “dung”. Now when we see people desperately scrambling for the “dung” – human power – we can be sure that they know precious little of the “Power of Christ’s resurrection”

Love is the first mark of spiritual power. Love demands that it be used for the good of others. Notice Jesus’ use of power – the healing of the blind, the sick, the maimed, the dumb, the leper and many others. The second mark of spiritual power – humility. Humility is power under control and is teachable. In the course of his powerful ministry, Peter made some serious mistakes, but when confronted with his errors he had the humility to change!
