THE POWER OF GOD


Who can be compared with the Lord our God, who is enthroned on high?
Far below him are the heavens and the earth.
He stoops to look, and he lifts the poor from the dirt and the needy from the garbage dump.
He sets them among princes, even the princes of his own people!
Psalm 113:5-8

The power of God is Awesome!

It wrought wonders within and without.  It is most fulfilling to witness the power of God and to be a carrier of the power of God.

When you possess the power and especially if you are always conscious that you carry the power, you will manifest.

Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we could ever dare to ask or hope. Ephesians 3:20

It is this same power within that enables you the carrier, to be able to do the indescribable and unthinkable. Remember:

For with God nothing shall be impossible. Luke 1:37

If you have the Holy Spirit in you, you have power. The bible says, the power of God comes along with the Holy Spirit.

But when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, you will receive power and will tell people about me everywhere... Acts1:8a


And this power is the same one that was with Christ all through his mission to save mankind.  

I live by the power of the living Father who sent me; in the same way, those who partake of me will live because of me. John6:57

The power was with him on the cross. It was with him when he went down to hell to dispossess the devil of the keys of life and death- for our sake.

I am the living one who died. Look, I am alive forever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and the grave. Revelation 1:18

The power sustained Christ in the place of hell.  


It further took him from down below this place of death and then raised him up to the place of honour and glory at God’s right hand side - A position of victory.

I pray that you will begin to understand the incredible greatness of his power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else in this world or in the world to come.  Ephesians 1:19-21

When you experience a casting down, do not be afraid. The power of God is more than capable to sustain you in that place of shame or trouble.  You won’t remain beneath, talk less die.  The power of God is more than enough to deliver you and uplift you.

The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as he raised Christ from the dead, he will give life to your mortal body by this same Spirit living with you. Romans8:11

For you were buried with Christ when you were baptized. And with him you were raised to a new life because you trusted the mighty power of God, who raised Christ from the dead. Colossians 2: 12

If the power of the all powerful God delivered you from the power of darkness through Christ Jesus and raised you from death to divinity, then it is very capable of vindicating you, uplifting you and honoring you- irrespective of the circumstance.


Do not at one point rely on your strength.  Remember:

...Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.  Zech4:6

Apostle Paul said:
It is not that we think we can do anything of lasting value by ourselves. Our only power and success come from God. 2Corinthians:3:5

We have faithfully preached the truth. God’s power has been working in us...2Corinthians 6:7

I work very hard at this, as I depend on Christ’s mighty power that works within me. Colossians 1:29


Most Importantly;


You can’t experience this power if Jesus is not the Lord of your life. The power and spirit of God is only existent in the lives of those who are joined with Christ.   Are you his personal person? Do you have a relationship with him? If not, and you would love to invite the Lord Jesus into your life.

Please pray this prayer:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to you in the name of Jesus.
Your word says “he that comes to me I will by no chance cast out”.
So I know you won’t cast me out.
You said in your word that “anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:31).
I ask that you save and deliver me now.
I confess my sins to you right now.
I accept and confess Christ Jesus my Lord and Savior.
Henceforth, it is not my life I live anymore but yours”.
Amen.

Lastly;

Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits at God’s right hand in the place of honor and power. Let heaven fill your thoughts. Do not think only about things down here on earth. For you died when Christ died, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-4
