The Power of God
Oh my friends, how many of us truly know and understand the true power of God?
Paul wrote, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel of God – for it is the power of God to everyone who BELIEVES…”
In Ephesians 3, there is a precious prayer Paul prays – it’s an everlasting prayer for all generations to pray who come to faith in Christ.
The prayer is to be strengthened with might by the Holy Spirit in our inner man, according to the riches of HIS GLORY…
But for what?
To KNOW…to know and understand, apprehend, comprehend the LENGTH, the BREADTH, the HEIGHTH, the WIDTH, of the love of Christ – surpassing ALL knowledge – now listen to this: TO BE FILLED UP WITH ALL THE FULNESS OF GOD!
“That I may KNOW HIM and the power of His resurrection…”
How many are praying for the power of God to know? To know Jesus Christ – really, really, really, really, really KNOW HIM? The ONE WHO IS ALIVE AND SITS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD AND DWELLS WITHIN US BY HIS SPIRIT?
Some might be saying, “But I have this going on in my life, work is distracting me, that person is taking up all my time…”
Friend, I believe God is definitely NOT stupid. We all have responsibilities in the earth, things to do. BUT THE REAL POINT is this: The power of God is ABLE to give us the MIND OF CHRIST in the MIDST of ALL these things!
The power of our RISEN LORD within our hearts is ABLE to be our life, our all, the wisdom in ALL THESE THINGS. He is the STRENGTH for all right decisions, HE IS the CHOICE we make on a daily BASIS, and HE IS THE POWER to even cause our minds to FOCUS SOLELY ON HIM and Listening to Him!
“We have this TREASURE in these earthen vessels, so that the excellency of the power may be of GOD – NOT OF US!!!!”
Therefore the real question is: what part of NOT OF US – do we NOT understand?
Flood the throne today – let us all go to God to be taught by Him concerning all things and we shall surely indeed know the TRUE POWER OF GOD in JESUS CHRIST!
Loving the Lord’s way,
