One
question that has been ringing in my Spirit is why we say “the power that
raised Jesus Christ is within me”, yet there seems to be no evidence? So basically
the power is sitting dormant but it wasn’t purposed to be that way otherwise, it
would not have had the ability to raise Jesus from the dead. So what went wrong
with our generation?
Did
the power of God loose its power somewhere along the line? Does the power that
set many free still work today?
We’ve
read that the Kingdom of God is not of words but power (1 Corinthians 4:20) which means that it’s not all about talk but
execution. It’s easy to talk the talk especially since we can pretty much
google almost anything these days.
As
I was studying, the Holy Spirit led me to research about Potential and Kinetic energy
and He ministered this to me:
“Power
is only beneficial to the one who uses it not the one who leaves it dormant”
Everyone
has a potential/capacity to which they were created to operate in, but having
the ability to carry out certain functions doesn’t constitute for the execution
of that function. Meaning that even though God has placed the power that raised
Jesus inside us, it doesn’t automatically make it active. When we research, we’ll
discover that Kinetic energy is when we take our capacity and put it to work. So,
we can possess the capacity to do work but if we don’t put it to action then it
won’t be beneficial to us.
The
law of Thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed
but it can change form, which surprisingly now makes sense to me even though I left
the science field years ago lol. I digress.
See,
God isn’t making stuff up as He goes and the bible says that when God finished
creation He rested and nowhere did it say that He resumed adding additional
things (Hebrews 4:10). This shows us
that every facet of our present, past and future lives has already been written
by God.
“Before
I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained
you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 NKJV)
The
capacity to achieve what God has called each and every one of us to do is
already on the inside of us. However, we need the help of God to activate that
power so that we don’t waste our potential. We must seek Him through prayer,
studying the word, and fasting in order for this power to be activated.
As
humans, we tend to get weak, afraid, lazy, and unmotivated but none of those
reasons can destroy our capacity; it is fixed. When we are weak, God is strong
for us or even weary He is there to energize us again if we allow Him.
I
realized that we can’t create another capacity for ourselves and the enemy
cannot destroy what God has already established. But since we have free will,
then we must choose whether or not we want to avail ourselves. He can only work
through the power that we allow to be activated within us.
“Now
all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to
accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” (Ephesians 3:20, NLT)
This post is a reminder that we were called to do greater works than Jesus did. Before
He left, there was a commission given and His physical absence doesn’t change
the instruction. We were called for more. If He healed the blind, casted out
demons, raised the dead, turned five loaves & two fishes into more than
enough to feed a multitude then we are capable of more. And this is not for
ourselves but so that God will be glorified through us. Someone out there is
waiting for us to avail ourselves so that the glory of God can be seen.
Now
the question is this, what’s stopping you today?
Prayer Point: Father, please help me activate
the power You have placed within me and show me how I was created to bring You
glory. I remove every obstacle that dissuades me from walking in the ways of
God in the name of Jesus. Amen!
