The Power of God in our lives

How many times in your life have you doubted the power of God showing in your life? How many times have you said that is this is a problem that even God cannot take care of? How many times have you remained discouraged because it did not seem that the power of the most high God was shinning through you life?

Well, first , lets take a look at a certain Bible verse that should be able to reassure anyone that God is all powerful and very much in charge of this earth.

"He hath made the earth by His power, He hath established the world by His wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by His understanding." Jeremiah 51:15

Here we see that fact that God not only created the world that we now live on, but this particular Bible verse gives us three important facts about God: Power, Wisdom and Understanding.

Just take a look at the verse, it tells us that that earth was made by His power, established by His wisdom and that the heaven was made by His understanding. What other proof do you need to realize that a God that is this great is more then capable to take care of you and allow himself to be manifested in your life?

"And God hath both raised up the Lord and will also raise up us by His own power." 1 Corinthians 6:14

We need to start praying and allowing the Lord to live through us, because you do know that it should not be us living but the One that saved us should be the Person that is governing our lives. It is only when we allow Christ to take control of our lives that the real power of God will be manifested through us, and if you think about it some, it will not be our power at all, it will simply be the power of God that is in the hand of Jesus Christ, the one that is living in us and showing through to the people around us. It is pure and simple logic, all that we have to do is to trust in the Lord enough to let Christ have control, and He will do the rest.

There is a certain verse in the Bible that tells us what our position is in Christ. "And hath raised us up together, and made us to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus…"Ephesians 2:6

So Christ dies on the cross for our sins and when He went into heaven, He took His place at the right hand of God, and now two thousand years later, we were saved by His grace, according to the Bible verse that I have above we are now in Christ at the right hand of God…let’s not forget the Bible verse that states that everything is under Christ…(subordinate).

So, if we look at it this way, we have complete power in us through Jesus Christ. I am not saying that man is inherently good or that every one of us is a little god. No, what I am saying is that when we are saved and when we start allowing Jesus Christ to rule in our lives, the way we should let Him, then we have the complete power of God working in us, the same power that raised Christ from the dead is the same power that is working in us. I don’t know about you, but I think that that is very impressive!

All that we need to do is to submit ourselves under that mighty hand of the One that created us and saved us from eternal damnation.

Let’s start living through the power of God and stop being the weak Christians that cannot do anything for the Lord, the only One that deserves all the glory and praise that we, weak little mounds of dirt can give.

"But I will sing of thy power; yea, I will sing of thy mercy in the morning: for Thou hast been my defense and refuge in the day of my trouble. Unto Thee, o my strength, will I sing: for God is my defense, and the God of my mercy." Psalms 59:16-17
