![]() ![]() We need God’s power to help us overcome in this life but to also help us endure the journey on the way to the Kingdom of God but every child of God has access to the power of God and it is “according to the power at work within us” that enables us to “do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think” so we’re not reduced to hoping for or wishing for but expecting. For example, if Jesus has said whoever believes in Him already has eternal life (John 3:16), do we really think that He’ll change His mind? That would seem typical of human beings but not for God since God cannot lie (Num 23:19).Įphesians 3:20 “Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us.” ![]() We simply must have faith and believe what God says. Jesus speaks of a faith that can move mountains since a God Who created them can do all things. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him. Do you have the same assurance that Paul wrote about? Mark 11:22-24 “And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Paul was certain that God, Who began a good work in us, will complete it “at the day of Jesus Christ” and His return. Since we now that we can’t be separated from God, shouldn’t that strengthen your faith? Philippians 1:6 “And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”įaith is not something like wishful thinking but rather “faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen” (Heb 11:1) so it is a tangible reality for the believer, not a hope-so wish that we hope something proves to be true. Our faith is no stronger that the object in which we place our faith and if your faith is in Jesus Christ, it is a bedrock faith that no one or nothing can oppose since “without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Heb 11:6). Romans 8:38-39 “For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
