Power - Perspective by Reina

We need “Power” in all types of circumstances. Power to take care of self and accomplish things for others. We need “Power” to live and to do God’s will with His “Power.” Power is to have the mind and heart of doing right. Power is to have the things necessary to accomplish everything you need to do in life through God’s eyes.

There was a point in time in my life before coming to CWJC when I thought I had the power to live life to the fullest. Well, I thought wrong. If it were true, then where did we all come from? We came from Him, through Him, for Him and His power.

I use to be ignorant in thinking I had the power. There are a lot of ignorant people whom don’t know the truth about power, but let me tell you – the power we have is all from Him - our Father in Heaven. We need God’s power – in sorrow’s, in making decisions, when wounded by relationship, depressed, exhaustion and even in temptation and guilt. Our Lord, Jesus Christ, with His power rescues us from many ways. All we have to do is seek Him and we shall find Him.

Power is to have enough strength to accomplish all objects – good or bad in day to day life. The Lord’s Power protects us at all times, even when we sleep. Power is a very strong word. In life some people use the word “Power” in wrong ways. As an example: they feel they are above all, or better than others, abusing others for their own purpose of selfishness. The ignorant ones also use power for doing what they want, when they want, not caring how it hurts others. God’s Power brings up the ability of control in times of temptation. God empowers us to be filled with hope, love and faith so we will and can be saved from all sings and overcome the evil one.

It’s true God delights in revealing Himself to others around us by shining His power thought the cracks of our weaknesses. When we recognize our need for God’s Power, it will draw us closer.

God’s power and greatness are revealed in Scriptures and through His work in our life. When you sense a lack of power in your live, seek God for His Power.

Spiritual Power helps us accomplish God’s will. Possessing “Power” reveals important things about us. It is used in many ways. But, Power is to be used to do good, not for brutal purposes.

2 Timothy 1:7 (New Living Translation)
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.

Prayer: God, how I need your power to live this life. Fill me with your Spirit. Infuse me with strength to accomplish your will today, tomorrow and Forever.” Amen!
