GOD IS POWER

God is Powerful and we've been given the power just by saying three little words "Jesus loves me."  This is a power we can share.  We can live by the Gospel and don't have to be ashamed. Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. In Truth, we learn not only that God has power, but God is Power.  His power is ours and is unlimited. 1 John 4:4 You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

A few years ago the Faith Training Kids brought home a bible point.  "God is Powerful"  So we adopted this when our little ones would become scared or get bad dreams we began to say, "God is powerful."  The  girls would respond, "Pray to God for help."  We would repeat this 3 or 4 times and send them back to bed.  This usually did the trick.  I mean lets face it, Mom or Dad can't fix it or take it away, and what happens if Mom or Dad aren't there.  We wanted the girls to know they can turn to God for that same assurance they receive from us. God is their light that never dims or fades and they will never be alone. Mark 1:27 states The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, “What is this? A new teaching—and with authority! He even gives orders to impure spirits and they obey him.”

As I sat and pondered this idea, after a sermon a few weeks ago, I plugged into His Truth.  God really is Powerful.  He sent his Word,  He sent His Son to die for us and if that's not enough He raised Him from the dead.  Now that's power.  But that still is not all.  He IS still reigning today.

There maybe different kinds of power, but there is only one source of all power, God and the presence of God is in me. Ephesians 3: 20-21 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Go share the power of salvation from God and For God. Honor and Glorify Him.
