Children of The King designed for Power

As believers of Jesus Christ, we are regarded as Children of  'The King' which entitles us to a rich inheritance into the kingdom of God.  Our Faith in Jesus Christ gives us great authority and power.  It is the great power that Jesus demonstrated by His resurrection from the dead.  It is the same power that He has given to us who believe.  He is now seated at the right hand of our Father.  With that resurrection power it has enabled us to do the same, and we are now seated in the heavenlies with Jesus Christ and our heavenly Father.

 

The question is, are we operating with our resurrection power or are we operating in the flesh with our earthly limited power and authority?  We need to be aware and educated in the word to know the power that is manifested in us in order to live not only a victorious life but one with purpose, divine intervention, driven by His love, peace, discernment, wisdom and knowledge.

 

Since we have the Holy Spirit now living in us we are now born again of the Spirit and have every right to exercise that power.  We have domininion over the forces of darkness and the evil one and all of demonic influences according to Luke 10:9.  We do not need to live a life of defeat.  God did not give us a spirit of fear, but love and power and of a sound mind, II Timothy 1:7.

 

He did not leave us helpleess but has given us the Holy Spirit to lead, guide, direct and protect us.  We must stand firm and fight the good fight today.  We should purpose to live out our destiny in order to be a vehicle for Him in order that we will be able to execute His plan for our lives.  For we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them, Ephesians 2:10.

 

We are designed with a purpose, to glorify Him and His name with all that He has given us in order to demonstrate his great love, mercy, and grace and so that we can be a mighty instrument for Him.

 

Use that power today.  Get up each day asking the Lord to fill you with His infinite power, grace, mercy and peace.    Each day we wake up empty until we ask Him to fill us to the brim in order that we do not waste one day, one moment, one second apart from doing His perfect will for our lives.  It may be blessing that person who just needs a smile, praying deliverance for that person who is bound up by the enemy or lending a helping hand when no one else but you can provide or calming a hurting child. 

 

 We should wake up desiring to be empowered by Him, driven by Him, inspired by Him, living only for Him who did it all for us.  He lived a Holy blameless life for us so we could be holy and blameless before our Father.  By His blood we are healed, set free, made whole and are reconciled back to our Father.

 

Don't miss one opportunity to be used by Him.  The King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Our Master, Our Father Our Lord.

The Power of Prayer

Every morning for the past 8 or more years I have made it a practice to get out of bed and go directly to my knees in prayer.  Dedicating the day to the Lord, praying protection for my family, memorizing scripture, doing a little Bible Study and praying that the Holy Spirit to guide me through the day.  This has proved to be such valuable time, and countless times the Lord has intervened in my day because of the surrendering that was done in the morning. 

The power of prayer is so strongly felt.  Scripture says that the prayers of a righteous man availeth much.  The past few months I have been feeling tremendous peace in my life and in my home particularly in my marriage.  I would wake up in the morning and say to myself, "Somebody must be praying for me."  Two

times this  month I have had people who are in my Bible Study randomly ask me how I am doing and that they were praying for me.  I had expressed to them a couple of months ago  that my husband had stopped going to church for about 2 years for no apparent reason.  They took it upon themselves to pray for me although I made no mention of it for a prayer request.  Then I woke up this morning and said again to the Lord, "Someone must be praying for me, I feel such peace, who is it Lord".  Then I had my Bible Study leader call me today and ask me if I would like to get together in prayer with her to pray for each and every one in our Bible Study because the lady that normally does cannot this week.  Then the green light went on and I told her how I have asked the Lord several times who it is that is praying for me.  I had no idea that they had took it upon themselves to go to the Lord in prayer and pray for each and everyone in our Bible Study by name particularly for the marriages of the ladies in our class.

I sincerely believe this is not a coincidence.  The prayers of a righteous man does availeth much.  And it not only blessed me but tremendously blessed those who had been praying to know that I am reaping the benefits of their dedication and prayers specifically for  me.  And it encouraged me to know that when I pray for each and everyone in my family and others that the Lord puts on my heart, that it does not go void and people are reaping the benefits from our taking the time to be obedient in prayer.

We must never think that God is not listening but always have the hope in Him who answers prayer and that there is such heavenly power through Jesus in that prayer.  To wake up each morning and pray for ourselves and others in prayer is an act of obedience and an opportunity that we have to bless others and a chance to be an instrument of the Lord to do good works for Him.

Serving Him Gratefully,
