THERE’S POWER IN YOU
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)
You’re full of power. There’s authority and there’s power. We have authority in the Name of Jesus, but we have power in the person and presence of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah!
You have, not only the highest authority, but also the extraordinary ability of God within your spirit. It doesn’t flow from Heaven to you; you got it when the Holy Spirit came to make His home in you. Hallelujah! All of the power of divinity is at work in you.
No wonder Jesus said in Matthew 10:8, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” You have it, and that’s why you can give it! Hallelujah! That’s why Peter could say to the lame man at the gate of the temple called Beautiful, “…such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6); and the man was gloriously healed.
Peter knew he had something to give. He had great confidence in what he had. Today, you have the same Holy Spirit that Peter had. You have power in you. Jesus said, “And you shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you…” (Acts 1:8). Recognize, affirm, and put the power in you to work every day. Glory to God!
CONFESSION
The Holy Spirit came to live in me; therefore, the Kingdom, power, glory, righteousness and dominion of Christ are manifested in and through me. I’m full of power! And with this power, I heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils and do mighty works for the glory of God.
FURTHER STUDY:
Ephesians 3:20-21 AMPC Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]— 21 To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it).
2 Corinthians 4:7: But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
Acts 1:8 AMPC But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.
