I pray…that you may know…his incomparably great power for us who believe.” Ephesians 1:18-19
Like a proud parent, our heavenly Father loves it when we carry out impossible things by His power and for his glory. And when you live in raw reliance upon His power, you will do things that otherwise cannot be done. When you think about it, in and of ourselves, we are incapable of loving God. We cannot fabricate love for Him. We can just respond to His love for us. Knowing this sets us free. Religion focuses on doing things for God. But true Christianity is all about receiving what Christ has done for us on the cross. What we do for God is a reflection and a response to what He has done for us. We all love miracles; we just dislike being in a circumstance where we need one. But, that is a precondition. You will never experience the power of God until you’re in a situation that requires it. If you want to be filled with His Spirit, step into a situation that requires His power. Pursue a God ordained dream you cannot achieve in your own strength and wisdom. That’s why Paul writes: “I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know…his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated at his right hand in the heavenly realms” (vv. 18-20 NIV) Today, God wants you to experience “his incomparably great power: in your life.
