God's Mighty Power

God’s mighty power is inside you and me today. His resurrection power is flowing through our veins. He wants to do great and mighty exploits through us with His power. This mighty power of God which resides in us as His children is described in Ephesians 1:19-23. We are told that His power is in us and for us who believe. His power is ever flowing, but we must believe that it is flowing in and out of US. This power of His which is for us is unlimited, without bounds, without measure. It is infinite.

God specifically tells us what that power is. It is the same power that He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and set Him at His own right hand, far above all principalities and powers and rulers and dominions and every name that is named, not only in this world but also in the world which is to come. That power is the power that is in you and me right now. Selah, pause and think on this for a while. This understanding of His power is the foundation of our firm belief that all things are possible with God.

In Ephesians 3:20 we see that God’s power in us brings His ability on the scene to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think or dream or imagine or pray or ponder or desire or hope for or do in our own skill. His power is beyond all human ability. It carries us into the fullness of His Kingdom operating on this earth though us as His children; after all, Jesus is called the King of kings. That makes us kings also, operating in His realm, subject to His way of doing things, which is actually called righteousness. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are made righteous, right in God’s eyes, doing things God’s way and thinking God’s thoughts. Even if we don’t feel like we are living up to that standard of righteousness, God sees us as righteous. His vision is clearly focused on us as right with Him.

No foe can withstand God’s power at operation. The next time the devil comes at you with his lies and baggage of bondage, say, “No thanks, I don’t believe I will take any of that.” If he attempts to pressure you, give him some of God’s power punch. It will knock him out of the ballgame every time. You do have power. It is not your power. It is the power of God. God has given it to you to use on this earth as you do His work and live your life to the fullest degree of satisfaction and happiness. Your Lord takes pleasure in your prosperity, your successful life, your enjoying the good life in His Presence. Take a great big helping of God’s power today and sling it in the devil’s face. “Take that, devil. There is more where that came from and I know how to use it.”

My prayer for you today is that you will know and understand the “…exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe….(Ephesians 1:19).
