God is unequaled in power. He has no rivals!
Our Lord God Almighty sustains everything in the universe by His Hand of power. In other words, all He has to do is speak His will and His power will then accomplish it (Psalm 33:9). For example, He formed the mountains by His power. He divided the seas by His power. He divided the light from the darkness by His power (Genesis 1:4). He created man by His power (Genesis 1:26). And He will quicken the dead and call them to life by His power (Romans 4:17).
Jude wrote by The Holy Spirit:
25 to the only God our Savior, through our Lord Jesus Christ, be endless glory and majesty, great power and authority—from before HE created time, now, and throughout all the ages of eternity. Amen!
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 1:
3 The Son is the dazzling radiance of God’s splendor, the exact expression of God’s True Nature—His mirror Image! He holds the universe together and expands it by the mighty power of His spoken Word. He accomplished for us the complete cleansing of sins, and then took his seat on the highest Throne at the Right Hand of the Majestic One.
Therefore, GOD is the source of all power!
Jesus spoke in Matthew chapter 28:
18 Then Jesus came close to them and said, “All authority of the universe has been given to Me.”
When Jesus walked the earth, the Romans were in control of Jerusalem, an occupying army. Yet Jesus did nothing to confront them. Why? Their occupation was not the issue, men’s hearts were!
Paul wrote by the revelation given to him by The Holy Spirit and Jesus Christ Himself in Romans chapter 13:
1 Every person must submit to and support the authorities over him. For there can be no authority in the universe except by God’s appointment, which means that every authority that exists has been instituted by God.
2 So to resist authority is to resist the Divine order of God, which results in severe consequences.
3 For civil authorities don’t intimidate those who are doing good, but those who are doing evil. So do what is right and you’ll never need to fear those in authority. They will commend you for your good citizenship.
The zealots were disappointed when Jesus did not confront the Romans who occupied Israel. He had a high calling that they failed to see until His resurrection. We must resist the temptation to challenge the current political situation with soulish motivations. The enemy wants to redirect our focus away from our individual callings.
Moses wrote by THE SPIRIT in Deuteronomy chapter 8:
18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.”
Wealth not only means finances but also includes other resources such as strength, ability, efficiency, etc. It allows us to overpower any obstacle confronting us, attempting to prevent our success in our calling.
An excellent example of performing the impossible is the story of Abraham and Sarah who were well past their child-bearing years. What was FATHER’S reply?
Moses recorded by THE SPIRIT in Genesis chapter 18:
14 Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”
And Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in chapter 1:
37 “For with God nothing will be impossible.”
Do you really believe that nothing is impossible for Our Heavenly Father? If you do, then it is not HIS lack of power when we are not overcoming obstacles, it is ours. It is clear we are missing something as overcomers.
There are hundreds of examples of God’s power in action. Christianity is simply the manifestation of Divine power in the presence of human weakness.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Philippians chapter 3:
10 that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,
In other Words:
And I continually long to know the wonders of Jesus and to experience the overflowing power of His resurrection already working in me. I will be One with Him in his sufferings and become like him in his death.
We already have this power resident in us as believers. The issue is how to access this power for His Glory!
