Get The Power Working
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding
abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that worketh in us
(Ephesians 3:20)
God is able to do exceeding abundantly above
all that we could ask for or imagine; but He
does it, not according to His power in heaven, but
according to His power that works in us. This means
you have to get that power active and working all the
time. In Acts 1, just before the ascension of the Master,
He said to His disciples, “But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you...” (Acts
1:8). To receive the power is the first thing; the next
is to get it working.
Paul told Timothy in 2 Timothy 1:6, “…stir up the
gift of God, which is in thee….” He was referring to
the power of the Holy Spirit, which can be dormant in
your spirit, unless activated. One way to activate that
power is praying in tongues. Another way is through
meditation on the Scriptures. When you pray in tongues
often, and take out time consciously to meditate on
the Word, your spirit will always be aglow.
Understand that a Christian isn’t meant to be
begging, “God, please do this or do that for me”; no!
He’s one endued with the dynamic ability to effect
changes; He’s to reign in life by Jesus Christ (Romans 5:17).
Even though God has got all the power and ability,
He doesn’t move in on your behalf or move into your
situation to do things according to His discretion. “But
isn’t God sovereign?” you might ask. Yes, He is, and
in His sovereignty, He’s chosen to work His power
through you. You have a role in the operations of the
miraculous and supernatural in your life. Get the power
in you working, and bring it to bear on anything, or
any area of your life.
Prayer
Dear Father, thank you for the power of the Spirit that’s
fully operational in me for the supernatural. I can do all things
through the ability of Christ in me; I’m sufficient in Christ’s
sufficiency, full of grace and the wisdom of God, in Jesus’ Name.
Amen.
