Love you all, praying for you,
I just love God’s Word. It’s powerful. What is power? Latin – Potencia – to exert force. The faculty of moving or producing a change in something; ability or strength, energy. In mechanics – that which produces motion or force, or which may be applied to produce it. The quality in any natural body which produces a change or makes an impression on another body; as the power of medicine, the power of heat, the power of sound. The power of a word. Influence; that which may move the mind; as the power of argument or persuasion. Command, the right of governing, dominion; rule, sway; authority. One invested with authority. The exertion of power proceeds from the will… no one being destitute of will or intelligence, can exert power. Power may exist without exertion. We have power to speak when we are silent. So there is active and passive, and clearly power can be used for evil, or good. What is most powerful? A flood is powerful. The wind is powerful. A locomotive is powerful. So are you powerful or powerless? How powerful are you? And whose power do you operate under. That will determine if you overcome or not. Whose power do you use? And what do you use it for? First the most powerful, period. God. He is mighty in power – all powerful. His power has no limit - there is no higher power. He is the Higher Power. Power belongs to Him. And He gives it to whomever He chooses. John1:12 – But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: When it comes to you. That’s the most important power you need. The power of Salvation. It is literally the make or break for you for all of eternity. Either eternity with God in heaven, or with the devil in outer darkness. That power comes from God, the choice is yours. Actually, even the choice is His. He chose you, the only question is… will you receive Him. I Corinthians 1:18 – For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us who are saved it is the power of God. So what is His power to you? Foolishness? Or Salvation? How do you become powerful? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Be strengthened with His Power. Without power, you can’t do anything or change anything. You get your power from Him: And since it is derived from the will, there is the will of you, or the will of God. His power is available to you. Power to do what you were created to do with joy! Power to change when the devil says you can’t. Power to bring change for good, when the devil says it’s impossible. Jesus promised the potential to do good, and bring about good. Jesus told his disciples the second secret of power. Acts 1:8 - But you will receive power when the Holy Ghost is come upon you – and you will be my witness in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and to the uttermost parts of the earth. Secret number two – be filled with the Holy Spirit – your source of power. He commands us to be powerful. Ephesians 6:10 – Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Soak in His Word, and pray in the Spirit. It will make you powerful. What if you were powerful? What if you had the strength to do what God created you to do? To bring about the change needed in your day – in this day. Listen to what the angel told Zechariah. Luke 1: Do not be afraid, Zechariah; your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you are to call him John. He will be a joy and delight to you, and many will rejoice because of his birth, for he will be great in the sight of the Lord. He is never to take wine or other fermented drink, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born. He will bring back many of the people of Israel to the Lord their God. And he will go on before the Lord, in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the parents to their children and the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous – to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. Wow. Did you notice what the angel said at the beginning? Do not be afraid, (aka there is no power greater than God) But he also said ‘your prayers have been answered.’ Zecharaiah prayed. The Bible says the fervent effectual prayer of a righteous man or woman – is powerful and effective. It has power. Praying that you will be powerful today. In His Word, In His Spirit, and in prayer. That God will empower you to do exactly what He called you to do today. Power proceeds from the will – not yours – His will for you. So how do you operate in power. #1 – Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved. #2 Be filled with the Holy Spirit – and power #3 Know His Word – it is all powerful – not powerless, it’s the power of God unto Salvation – for anything you or anyone else will face. PRISM will help you! #4 Pray - in the Spirit – it will activate His power in you - and in the understanding – let the Holy Spirit lead you – it will be effective to bring God’s change for good! #5 – Know and Do His Will – that’s how you can walk in His power and do what His power is meant for. Praying that you are so faithful in His Presence, in PRISM – His Word – that is all powerful, In PiVAT – that lets Him reveal His will for you – in your Daily Call that He designed to give you power to overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony. Praying that you will be filled with the knowledge of His will through all the wisdom and understanding the Holy Spirit gives, so you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might – so you may have great endurance and patience. He’s got power for you! All the power you need! Power for Good! Love you all, dad
