Part of Apostle Paul’s prayer for every believer in Christ Jesus was that we would understand just “…how very great is His power at work in us who believe.” (Ephesians 1:19 GNT).
Paul, like Jesus before
him, could not impress upon us enough how important it is for us to believe. Jesus
had told Martha, in John 11:40, that if she believed, she would see the glory
of God. I believe that this was not the first time Jesus was telling her this,
since He is recorded as saying, “Didn’t I tell you…”
You see, when you believe, when you truly believe, you activate His power. As long as you do not allow unbelief to enter in, linger, and take up residence in you, the exceeding greatness of God’s power is released toward you.
Look at the account of the Centurion and his sick
servant, in Luke 7:1-10. He strongly believed that all that was necessary was
for Jesus to say the word and his servant would be healed. This man believed
without doubt and his servant’s healing took effect immediately; before Jesus
even reached to the house, this incredible power, barreled its way towards the
centurion’s home and struck its target. That is how you activate His power! Only believe.
Jairus’ little daughter, who, according to Matthew 9:18, had died, was restored to life when Jairus believed. He simply chose to believe and God’s power was activated.
As you read, notice how Jesus
removed all unbelievers from their midst and with that, God’s exceedingly great
power manifested. That is how you activate His power! Remove the unbelievers,
the naysayers, the negativity from your midst and only believe.
Beloved, don’t you want to experience the full extent of the exceeding greatness of God’s power toward you? You may be tempted to think that this is too good to be true, or that it was only available in biblical days.
Well, these days are biblical days and
God’s incredible power of which Paul spoke is not a myth, it is very real, and
it can be manifested in your life. When you truly believe, you will activate
His power and God will hold nothing back.
Amen †
