Releasing His Power From Within

Paul's writings in Ephesians reminds us that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lives within you and me and it's never too late to realize the power necessary to live victoriously in life. I wonder how empowered other believers would be today if those who are strong in the faith, would simply remember to pray God's blessings upon other saints as Paul did in Ephesians 1:16-21, "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 feel the power in Paul's prayer for his fellow believers? Power prayed down from on High to empower them in their spiritual walk with the Lord! Resurrecting Power that recreates, refreshes, and renews from deep within! Now that's Power; Life-Changing Power; and that's the Power dwelling inside 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 in all things pertaining to Righteousness! Power that acknowledges who He is and who we are in Him, Power  that enables us to 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! 
What an army of believers would be loosed in this world today if only we prayed one for another on a daily basis. Praying blessings of health, of strength, of spiritual enlightenment, of wisdom and understanding for Christians every where; as well as those in need of a divine touch from Almighty God, would bring such a reflection of God's love that would awaken this world to His wonder working Power and Amazing Grace. With our mind set on Him, Holy Spirit rises within, empowering us to become more than conquerors as we determine to lay down negative thinking and adorn our mind with positive thinking throughout our day. Paul writes in Philippians 4:8, "Finally brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there is anything praise worthy- meditate on these things."  
As you go about your day, be mindful that you house the very presence of God, so allow Him to shine forth from deep within, You can enjoy a wonderfully blessed day while remembering to bless others along your way, replacing all negative thoughts with good thoughts. Enjoy your blessed day, dear friends, because God loves you and so do I~~
