Same Power
My son Zion said I should blog about Jesus’ resurection and His power. So I think I will.
Earlier this week I wrote about how I have been given gifts for the Kingdom, but lack the power to use them and I must rely on the Spitit’s power daily to utilize my gifts.
But I’ve been thinking about how as a Christian the Holy Spirit lives in me.
I’ve been meditating on the verse that states the same power that rose Christ from the grave is alive and well in me.
As a Follower of Jesus, the Holy Spirit lives in me!
And that same power that could bring life to the dead and spin universes into existence is ALIVE and WELL in ME by the will of the Father, because of the sacrifice of Christ, through the Holy Spirit!
I have access to unlimited power that creates and restores!
Will I use that power at my disposal for my benefit like I own some sort of magical genie- no way! Instead I will utilize it to advance the Kingdom of God in earth and bring health to His Body.
Earlier I wrote how I lacked power. Today I have it. The question now, for you and for me, is how will we use it?
In Kindergarten I was officially voted 'Most Inquisitive'.
I have been asking questions ever since as I believe that they are the catalyst to discovering the world all around us.
The answers to these questions have led me into an everlasting committed relationship with Jesus Christ, into a marriage with the love of my life, and into being the father of the two most beautiful children on earth.
It is my personal mission to glorify God with my life, advance His Kingdom through my ministry, and to love my family with everything I have.
I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
Great post. It’s always my hope to use the power of the Holy Spirit living within for the betterment of the body of Christ. Many times I fail. Other times I’m not sure how to use it. But I’m just thankful, nonetheless, of God’s grace toward me. Without grace, the power within means nothing.
