The Same Power!

 “I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better.  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in His holy people, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.  And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills everything in every way.”  - Ephesians 1:17-23

Wow!  The same power that raises Christ from the dead and seated Him as the right hand of God has been given to all who believe!  What an incredible gift, what a great responsibility we have been given.

Lord,

Teach us to live in the power that You have given us.  Teach us to use the full potential of the power that is living inside of us in Your spirit.  Teach us to pray using this power and to live in it.  Teach us to never back down from the strongholds of the Devil, but to confront them and overpower them with the “incomparable great power” living in us.

Amen
