The Power Within

Leave a comment

Dear one, do you not know the magnitude of the power that resides within your very being? You, who are established in Christ Jesus, have not only become a born-again child of God. But today, you are carriers of the phenomenal, unexplainable, immeasurable power inside of you.
 
No matter how dim, gloomy, or bleak it may seem, we are NEVER alone.
 
We have a Strength that is beyond our human capabilities.
We have a Force fighting for us that cannot be reckoned with by human standards.
We have the one and only true God, and He is on our side!
 
Not only is He on our side, but He resides in us through the precious gift of the Holy Ghost!
 
May the resharing of this poem encourage your hearts today as you remember the Greater lives inside of you:
 
“Greater is He that is in me!
The life inside that I cannot see.
Only feel with the passion and the burn
Love from the cross that flows unearned.
 
Glowing embers, His spirit unfolds.
Power inside of stories untold!
Ripping away all the fear and frights;
Layering on His love’s holy light.
 
The life inside has been swept and cleaned
By the Master who defeats enemies unseen.
Foes tremble, their strength can’t compare,
‘Cause greater is He now resides there.”

Not By My Strength

Leave a comment

One thing I have noticed in life, as much as we want to believe it, none of us has all the answers to everything we need. We are not the end-all. But I also found out that that’s okay. We don’t have to be everything, nor do we need to know everything. We have One who not only knows the finite things we see and deal with before us daily, but He also knows the infinite and the things we cannot see.

We don’t have to struggle as if we don’t have this heavenly hope. We don’t have to rely on ourselves when we have our Big Beautiful God, who is unmatched in everything, to rely on. We don’t have to beat against the wind with our “might” when we can lean on His and come out victorious on the other side.

I pray that as I reshare this poem with you, it blesses you today and awakens your confidence in our wonderful God:

“Not by my own strength,
it’s failing, it’s fleeting.
Relying on myself,
my life takes a beating.

It’s against the wind I fight,
expending all my fleshly might.
It’s only by His Spirit I can win,
supplied by God, the power within.

Many are searching
for the prosperous way,
forcing themselves
with striving each day.

The plans of man
are but weak and futile.
Relying on God will carry you
to the very last mile.

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of Hosts,” Zechariah 4:6

Today, may we rest in this truth:
We were never meant to carry life in our own strength.

We can rely on God.
Blessings~
