Ephesians 1:15-23(NIV) "For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is the body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way."
There is so much power in this message. God's imcomparably great power for those who believe is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. I don't know anything more powerful than the power to raise from the dead! But not only did he raise Jesus from the dead, but he appointed him far above all rule and authority. Every kingdom,every principality, every stronghold (both seen and unseen), are all under the name of JESUS. And not just now...BUT FOREVER! I don't know about you, but I NEED that dosage of POWER in my life...always! Study the scripture, let it sink in. I know we all go through trials in life. There are horrible things happening to people all around us. Perhaps some horrible things have happened to you, or are happening to you right now. When we think back on our lives, particularly the low points, we can always keep in mind the sacrifice of Jesus. He was a man who knew no sin, loved and cared for the poor, performed miracles, and spoke the truth in an effort to set others free. He was an innocent man. Still he was betrayed, lied on, persecuted, ordered to death by crucifiction, took on all sin, and went to hell. There is no one alive who can say they've had it worse than that! But the POWER of God is what raised him, justified him, and APPOINTED him to be head over everything, over any title that could be given in both heaven and earth. And not just things we can see with our natural eye, but over EVRERYTHING. That same power is available for us believers.Allow God's matchless power to take you from the ultimate low point, to the ultimate high point- Just like he did Jesus. Put God's POWER to work in your life. It's yours!
