About God as our real source of power…
John 7: 36 Jesus said, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and
drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living
water will flow from within him." 39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom
those who believed in him were later to receive. (NIV)
You have power. You have the power to heal or hurt. You have the power to
forgive or seek revenge. You have the power to love or hate. If you accept you
have power, to be a true child of God, you must then accept the responsibility
of using the power you have. Your power is a gift from God. Your power is from
God. God gave you the life force we call life. When you are mature, you can
channel the power of your life into doing God's will and being a blessing to
God. When you are immature you let the power of your life be corrupted by sin
and you fall victim to temptation. God gave you power for a reason and a
purpose. God gave you power so you can shine His love out to a world steeped in
darkness. The world is thirsting for Christ's Living Water. Your life is to be
lived so you are a vessel pouring out His Living Water to others. In a world
full of darkness, you can bring the hope and promise of life to millions.
Perhaps you do not believe you reach millions, but the power of God within you
is supernatural. In the realms of the supernatural, you can do the impossible.
Your heart, filled with the power of God's love, touching just one other heart,
can bring the power of God down into the hearts and lives of many others. Using
the power God gave you, you can, by the way you live, reach generations of
people you will never know. Your silent prayers, your spoken prayers, your godly
thoughts, words, and actions, bring God into the world.
