Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise His heel. After the fall of mankind this is the promise of the Messiah, but how did they get so much revelation out of this one verse? Enmity is the state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something. Just moments before Adam & Eve were in God’s perfect will, they were friends with God. Suddenly there is this shift, evil is revealed and now a separation exists between man & God. When God speaks to them, they are in hiding and notice who is still there, Satan. Mankind has made an alliance with sin, now sin is their friend
John 4: 26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he. Most of us are familiar with this story, it’s ‘The woman at the well.’ What causes me to marvel about this is that she is the first-person Jesus plainly tells, a woman, a Samaritan, that He is the Messiah.

That verse alone should keep you striving to be a better Christian. But God, wants you to know that there is so much more at stake. The word power comes from the Greek word exousia /ex-oo-see’-ah It means
Luke 19 : 30-31 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never a man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. A directive from Jesus, notice this time the disciples didn’t ask any questions or have any doubt that the colt would be there.
