Paul's writings in Ephesians reminds us that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives within you and me; and that has me doing a lot of soul searching and being thankful that it's never too late to realize the power necessary to reach one's full potential in life. Makes me wonder how much more greatly empowered believers would be today if those who are strong in the faith would pray God's blessings upon other saints as Paul did in Ephesians 1:16-21 NIV), "I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 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 also 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 the saints, and His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength, which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him 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 title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come."
Can you not feel the power in Paul's prayer for his fellow believers? Power prayed down from on High to empower their spiritual walk with the Lord! Resurrecting Power that can recreate, Refresh, and Renew from within! Now that's Power; Life-Changing Power!!! And that's the same power that Lives within you and me since the day we were reborn into the kingdom of God through Christ Jesus! Power that inspires wisdom and revelation to know Jesus better! Power that sheds spiritual enlightenment of who we are in Him, and what He can do through us! Power that enables us to actually do above and beyond all we could ever think or imagine because He Lives Within Us! The Same Power that raised Jesus from the dead abides within you and Me; the Power of our precious Holy Spirit!
So be reminded of His Presence in all you do and say today and allow Him to shine forth from deep within while remembering to bless others along your way! Enjoy a wonderfully blessed day, dear friends, because God loves you and so do I~~
