The
Power That Works Within Us
Ephesians 3:15-20 15 Of whom
the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he
would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with
might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17 That
Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in
love,
18 May be
able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth,
and height;
19 And to
know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with
all the fulness of God.
20 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,
Rejoice, because your names are written in Heaven.
Luke 10:20 but rather rejoice, because your names are
written in heaven.
The
family of God includes all who have believed in Him in the past, present and
all who will believe in the future.
We
are all a spiritual family, because we have the same spiritual Father.
He
is the source of all creation, the rightful owner of everything. God promises
his love and power to his family the church.
If
we want to receive Gods blessings, it is important that we stay in contact with
other believers in the body of Christ.
People,
who isolate themselves from Gods family and then try to go it alone, cut
themselves off from Gods power. Gods’ power works in unity or in one accord.
Matthew
18:20 20 For where two or
three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
This
is so important in the body of Christ. When two or three believers are praying
for something the Holy
Spirit is with them.
Spirit is with them.
The
Holy Spirit gives us the gift of grace by the effectual working of his power.
If you are a believer, this power should be working in you.
In
union with Christ Jesus and through His empowering spirit we are complete. We
have the fullness of God available to us.
Through
faith and prayer we can ask the Holy Spirit to fill every aspect of your life
to the fullest.
If
believers set their spiritual minds in one accord, or in the wisdom of the Holy
Spirit, nothing is impossible.
Genesis
11:4-6 4 And they
said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto
heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of
the whole earth.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the
tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one,
and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will
be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
God said the people are one, they are in one accord or in
agreement. They have one language, now nothing can hold them back from what
they have imagined to do.
In this verse Language is speaking words they were agreeing
on building the tower.
These people had the kind of faith in themselves that they
believed they could do this. However these people were not trusting God to help
them build this tower.
Their faith and belief was in agreeing if it could be imagined
they could do it. Their faith was in trusting the next step. Their words of
faith made a reality.
How much more faith can believers have today in the
confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen.
The will of God is our foundation for faith. You must look
beyond the natural realm of your mind, will and emotions to have the God kind
of faith.
Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Your
must get Gods word beyond your head and down in your heart for it to work.
Matthew 12:34 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being
evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth
speaketh.
Jesus
reminds us that what we say reveals what is in our heart. You will never be
able to solve your heart problem by just cleaning up your speech.
We
must allow the Holy Spirit to fill us with the spiritual way of speaking. As
believers we are the righteous children of God. We need to use our words
carefully. Words have power.
Believe
in your heart that you are the righteousness of God and confess with your
mouth, only then you will have the right to what you say
The
power is within us.
