Discovery 4: You Can Receive Power. Power is Better
Many believers believe God will give them just enough power to get by but not enough power to live a life of victory.
Acts 1:8 Butyou will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
2 Timothy 1: 7 and 14 • For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline. • Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you—guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
1. God’s power is working in us. Ephesians 1:18-21 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe.
That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand inthe heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
2. God’s power gives us strength. Ephesians 3:16-17 I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
3. God’s power surpasses our knowledge to grasp it. Ephesians 3:17-19 And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints,
to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
4. God’s power does immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. Ephesians 3:20-21 Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever! Amen.
The power of God that raised Jesus Christ from the dead is working in us!
This power doesn’t come through strenuous religious exercise. It comes from holding out your hand and accepting it.
Remember to preference the Giver over the gift. The gift comes as a by-product of a close, personal relationship with God.
