I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him.

This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

Ephesians 1:19-20

He spoke, and the world was created. He breathed life into man, and humanity was born. He flooded the entire earth. He freed hundreds of thousands of His people from Egypt. He parted the Red Sea. He spoke to generations through the prophets. He created life inside Mary’s virginal womb. He made the lame walk, the blind see, the leprous clean, and raised the dead to life. And after He died a cruel death, HE rose from the dead! 

We believe in these powerful events in history, especially the most powerful event that changed everything: Jesus conquered death and made that very power available to each of us! It’s that event on which we base our faith, our futures, our lives. We accept the fact that Jesus poured the Holy Spirit into His disciples at Pentecost. We say we believe in Him, we call ourselves His followers, we believe in His power in the big events in history and in the lives of other believers…but we doubt His might power in our own lives. But like many things, just because we don’t believe it, doesn’t mean it isn’t true! 

If you have given your life to Jesus, the exact same power that resurrected Jesus is in YOU right now! His power can change your heart, it can transform your life, your relationships, your desires. It can break the chains of any sin, any struggle, that holds you hostage. It can conquer fear, anxiety, and depression. It can overcome addiction. It can change your family, your friends, your health. It can save those you love, because it can even soften the hearts of atheists and transform them into powerful witnesses for Christ. It gives hope to the hopeless, new beginnings to the destitute, and restores all that is broken. His power is at work in you right now! Believe it!! You are deeply loved!!
