Power

[T Man]

[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Power[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Psalms 46:1-3 ESV To the choirmaster. Of the Sons of Korah. According to Alamoth. A Song. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Imagine if we were as willing to get out of God's way, and allow Him to use us in our strengths, as we sometimes do in our weakness. Imagine the power. The problem is that we are so sure how to use them ourselves. We don't think we need God's help. So we breeze through the task at hand, doing a good job, never knowing how much better we could have been if we would have stepped aside and let God use us.[/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Jesus said it, yet we can think it was not intended for us, but what if it was? [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Matthew 22:29 ESV[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif] But Jesus answered them, [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]"You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the [/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif]power of God[/FONT][FONT=Arial, sans-serif].[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]What power is in God that we may use, what has Jesus left us? You know the power of God is real and very much here for us, but in a way its like a light switch, its there, we just have not turned it on. Faith, the real Faith Jesus spoke of is key to this understanding, not a faith based on men and wisdom of men. Real Faith is key and trusting in it is everything. Yet many fail this real Faith, rather they have a belief-faith system based on human wisdom, a flesh faith to cover the lacking of real Faith. How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Brothers and sister, we are called to be powerful people in Christ, we are called to reflect all that Christ was and is. Seek glory from God, not men, seek Love from God, not men, seek power for God, not men. Seek and you will find, this line Jesus spoke is powerful and truthful. Turn on the light switch of Faith, power up in Real Faith and trust in Him. [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]Why do we just believe in things that we can understand, is it we do not trust God ? Have we walked away from the only one that gives light, in order to live a life we can understand. Why did Jesus say the things He said, yet we fail to follow it, why did Jesus do what He did, yet we fail to live it, is it we are lost in our own fear, fear of the unknown. What power is in fear? What power is in unfaithfulness? What power is in unbelief? [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]We are called to be a people of power, Godly strenght, a shining light in a dark place. Lift your eyes up to the Lord, raise your hearts before Him and ask Him to fill it with His power and Love. Do not live in fear of the evil one, for we are brothers and sisters in the one who lives forever, we share the same Father and His love for us is endless. [/FONT]


[FONT=Arial, sans-serif]To speak of God as though he is over there, or unsure if He is real, is not living in faith. We who know our Father, know He is in us always working in us to bring us the best life has to give even if life seems hard. Our Father is not a God of the unsure, He is a Father that gives abundantly to those children that share that love with others. Yes brothers and sisters we are adopted into a house of power, a house of love, let us not live in that house as though we are new adopted children afraid to move feely. No brother and sisters, let us thank our new Father for His love toward us and live in power and the freedom that He calls us to live in. Be all you can be in Him and let His light shine in this dark world we live.[/FONT]
