UNDERSTANDING HIS POWER

UNDERSTANDING HIS POWER

Eph. 1:19 I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe him.  NLT

       First of all, we should be a people of prayer.  We should be praying for one another so that we can be all that we should be in Christ.  Life would be so much easier for the believer if everyone would be praying for someone in the church.  We all need the prayers of others.

      Secondly, we have such a limited understanding of the incredible power of God within us.  We are so often reserved when it comes to tapping into God’s power.  We hesitate to step out boldly in power because we fear failure.  We know in our minds that great power exists in us, but our hearts don’t fully grasp it.  We fail to be as strong and effective in our walk with the Lord because we don’t let His power be released in us.

       I don’t know what it would look like in our lives if we were to have greater faith and let the power of God flow through us.  I am sure that things would be different for most of us.  I also know that there would be a lot of abuse, people manufacturing a semblance of power who really don’t have it.  But, isn’t it worth the risk?  If we were to tap into the power of God more, I do believe that we would grow in our knowledge and understanding of the Lord.  It would enhance our desire to be the holy people of God He commands us to be.

       The power of God is governed by the Spirit of God.  The more we are controlled by Him, the more we will be able to do in and through Christ.  If you lack God’s power at work in you, it’s time for you to surrender your all to the Spirit of Christ and let Him rule your heart.
