He was not “walking in” His omnipotence while on earth.
Does that clear it up?

No, it does not.

What will clear you from error is for you to admit that you were wrong in Post #42, and agree that Jesus' power was never diminished at any time when and after He was incarnated as עמנו־אל (pronounced Emmanu-El), The God with us.

And without further qualification.

Jesus was not “walking in” His omnipotence while He was on earth.

This is why He did not call down His angels to avenge His arrest.

And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.

Then said Jesus unto him:

“Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?”

Jesus could not fulfill His anointing if He “walked in” i.e. comported Himself in the manner of omnipotence. He chose to walk fully in as a Man, in the flesh while He was on earth.

There is encouragement for us to understand this, and not dismiss the miracles of Christ's time on earth as “easy” because He was God. He suffered, willingly, as a Man for our sakes.

I am clarifying what I wrote on #42 that “He was not omnipotent when He walked on earth” by stating that He did not “walk in” his omnipotence while He walked on earth.

I would maintain the importance of this is an often overlooked point:

Because He did not “walk in” His omnipotence or the fullness of His deity,
this means He did nothing in terms of miracles or overcoming sin nature that we ourselves cannot do ourselves today, if we are filled with His spirit, the Holy Spirit, as He therefore lives inside of us to help us.

This partially explains what He meant when He told the disciples:

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”

(Key here is that Jesus had to go to the Father for the Holy Spirit to fall at Pentecost, and that people who lived after the Ascension will also have “greater faith” than the disciples in one sense, because they believe on whom they cannot see in the flesh.)

While this all has nothing to do with the necessity of fasting and praying, thank you for this interesting interchange. The Lord is Good! Bless you.
