Who's Got the Power

The Spirit of the God who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you. So the God who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your bodies. He will do this because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Romans 8:11 (NIRV)

The same power that rose Jesus from the grave...lives in us.  

That power lives in us.

Wow.  Unreal.  How awesome is that?!  It's completely and utterly awesome!  

But do we really believe it?  

Do we?  

I mean truly and honestly believe it?

If we did, everything would be achievable.  Every goal.  Every ambition.  Every dream.  

Peace, joy, love, compassion, patience would fill our hearts.

Doubt, fear, insecurity, shame, worry wouldn't exist.

What does that say about our faith in God?

What does that say about our trust in the promises of Christ Jesus?

We have this supernatural power inside us and yet we let the voice of the enemy rule our thoughts more often than not.  

We question our actions and decisions.  We doubt our abilities.  We fear the unknown.  We stress and worry about the littlest things.  We are so easily discouraged.

God created us to love Him.  God sent His son to die for our sins.  God had it all planned out.  He KNEW we weren't PERFECT and he sent his SON to DIE for for us ANYWAY.  And it's through Christ that we can do ANYTHING. 

It's when we trust and believe and step out in faith that we move from a dark and dreary existence into a bright and glorious life.

It's when we trust in God and go beyond ourselves that we truly start living.

We need to trust that we have the power.

So when life is getting hectic and things are weighing you down...

Remember to tell yourself...

I'VE GOT THE POWER!!!
