Gods Power in Us
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,
Ephesians 3:20
The power of God in us depends on our faith and on our courage. We need the faith that pleases God and we need to overcome the fear from Satan in order to have courage God give us his power and courage.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (Proverbs 3:5). The faith that pleases God is that we do not lean on our own understanding but trust God’s divine will. We pray every day and trust God to answer our prayers according to his will and his timing, while we walk in obedience to his will; then we have the power of Gods power working in us.
If we are to walk in accordance to the Lord’s will, we will need courage. Satan tries to kill our courage through his weapon of fear, but the Word says perfect love casts out fear. Recognizing God’s perfect love and the promise of eternal life gives us divine security and further reduces our fear and worry. Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26).
The more we serve the Lord, the more we trust God, the more power God puts in our hearts,
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8). The Lord is always with us and he goes before us. Knowing this through divine faith we have overcome the world and we crush the fear that comes from Satan. We are now living with courage and the power of God.
Everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4). We have the power of God to overcome the world and live free in Christ through our faith in the Lord. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1). Fully trusting the Lord in our walk and in our prayers can relieve us from fear and worry. The more we trust the Lord and follow the Spirit, ministering to the world, the more God’s love and power enters our hearts,
Today, live in the power of God, boldly proclaiming the good news of Christ to the world. Don’t let Satan’s fear enter your thoughts, but adopt the attitude of victory in Christ, knowing Christ is with you every second of the day.
Prayer: Lord, I pray today that your power will be seen through me; the power to be a light in this world and overcome the darkness of Satan. Guide me in the Spirit toward opportunities to reflect the love of Jesus into the hearts of others. In Jesus’ name, Amen
