We've Got The Power! You Better Tell Somebody!

Written by Steven J. Smith

A facebook friend from Ohio asked me why I was so excited on Sunday about God's Divine Power and to share that message with others who may read this blog. Well Sister Turner thank you for that encouragement and you are right everybody needs to know that "We've Got The Power!" The Bible tells us, "His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness" (2 Peter 1:3). God is so wonderful and amazing that he has given us "His divine Power." Just think about that for a minute....... Minutes up! If that does not excite you somebody needs to check your pulse. He did not give us just any kind of power, but the word of God says "divine power!"


The omnipotent (all powerful), omnipresent (ever present) and omniscient (all knowing) creator has given us the power we need for everything in life. I like the phrase "everything we need for life" because that means that nothing in life is outside of the realm of God's power. Not your finances, not your romances, not your children or your health. "We've Got The Power" to get it done in all aspects of our lives. You Better Tell Somebody! The divine power is real, practical and available right now. The word of God did not say he was giving it to us in the afterlife, but in this life that we are living right now here on earth.

Jesus tells us in Matthew 18:19-20, "I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them." Jesus not only let's us know it will be done for us but that it will be done for us with him on the scene. Hallelujah! Sister Turner I feel like shouting and praising him right now! You want to talk about a support system? It gets no better than having divine power in your spiritual fuel tank. We are talking about super unleaded, maximum octane, grade A power that will take you where you need to go.

This is the message that the Apostle Paul was conveying in 2 Timothy 1:17 when he states, "God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." This should inspire you today to know that we serve a God that is not just heavenly focused and doing no earthly good. Quite to the contrary he has given us the power we need to prosper down here on earth. You have been gifted by God so "stir up the gifts." Remember "greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4)
