POWER
"Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet (able) to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light." Col. 1:11-12
God's dynamic power is available to us through the Holy Spirit, the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus Christ, and the Word of God. Thse sources of power enable us to face any situation with the courage and confidence. They are sources of unlimited power, and we appropriate them through faith in God's Word.
"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me" Acts 1:8
"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name." Phil. 2:9
"And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb, and by the word of their testimony." Rev. 12:11
"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword" Heb 4:12
If we believe this fact thenw e will experience God's power, and His Word will keep us from sin.
Almighty God, thank you for the power you promise to me. Through faith, I appropriate your power in the here-and-now. Fill me with the power of your Spirit so that your name may be declared wherever I go. I realize, Lord, that I cannot accomplish anything of lasting value in my own strength, but only through your Spirit. Thank you for your promise that I can do and face all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Thank you for sending your Holy Spirit to endue me with power from on high. Through His power I will be a faithful witness for Christ. I will never be shamed to proclaim His gospel, Father, because I know it is your power unto salvation to every one who believes.
Give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ. Give spiritual enlightmenment to my eyes, Father, so that I will fully comprehend the hope of your calling in my life and so that I will see the riches of the glory of the inheritance you've given to me. Show me the exceeding gretness of your power as I believe your Word, according to the working of your mighty power in my life.
I love you Lord.
