All Power

I was thinking about Luke 22:69 where You say that Jesus “will be seated at the right hand of the power of God”. Oh my goodness. All power and authority----that means all…such power can not be contained or diminished in any way.

This power can accomplish in a split second what all of man’s total effort can not accomplish. That is amazing and a truth to be tried and proven true in our daily walk.

Believers understand that the blood of Jesus protects us and gave us the Victory over the attack of the enemy of our soul. We have the same “ power” to be victorious through Him Who has risen.

Because of His resurrection and Victory over death itself we our empowered through Your Holy Spirit to walk daily in a manner which demonstrates that “the surpassing greatness of the power may be of God and not from ourselves”. (2 Cor 4:7)
“God demonstrated His love for us that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
(Rom 5:8) This is the Gospel, the good news, that a Holy and Righteous God would love us so deeply that He would sacrifice His Son to reconcile us to Him.

Understanding, grasping this love is the basis for our own daily victory.
It is the basis for our relationship with You and with all our earthly relationships.
It is the basis for “the surpassing greatness of the power of God” to manifest itself in us.
It is the basis for our “Sabbath rest” which produces peace.

Your power within, through Your Holy Spirit, can calm our mind and thoughts as it “directs us into the love of God and the steadfastness of Christ”. (2 Thess 3:5)
Calling on Your Holy Spirit in the “moment” of anger, irritation, or any wrong emotion, will release Your power within and bring YOU the victory.

Help me to appropriate Your love and power in the “moments” of my daily walk.
