THE LIVING GOD – POWER

from Barbara's Bible

#Power is appreciated by all whether the source is through #electricity, #water, #wind, #sun, #machines, or #man.  I see ads for products to promote powerful bodies or to get you to buy their power drink.  Switch the channel and the commercial is showing you that car with the most  horsepower.  I can remember when scientists split the atom enabling the atomic bomb; however, we didn’t stop there!  Later America was sending men into space (without the internet) and they had to splash down in the ocean upon re-entry!  Today we have computers that are pushing the envelope in all avenues of life, but have we overlooked the true power source?  Open your eyes to happenings around you…Acts 1:7″It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has put in His own power”  Power is in God’s control.  Do you rely on the power company constantly?  How about GOD?  “Your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the POWER OF GOD” ICorth.2:5    For us personally and eternally, God’s power is demonstrated through Christ’s death on the cross and His resurrection.  “preaching of the CROSS is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved IT IS THE POWER OF GOD” 1Corth.1:18  Paul instructs us of God’s might in Eph.1:19 “WHAT IS THE EXCEEDING GREATNESS OF HIS POWER TO US-WARD WHO BELIEVE, ACCORDING TO THE WORKING OF HIS MIGHTY POWER, WHICH HE WROUGHT IN CHRIST WHEN HE RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, AND SET HIM AT HIS OWN RIGHT HAND IN THE HEAVENLY PLACES FAR ABOVE ALL PRINCIPALITY, AND POWER, AND MIGHT, AND DOMINION AND EVERY NAME THAT IS NAMED NOT ONLY IN THIS WORLD, BUT ALSO IN THAT WHICH IS TO COME.”Christ was crucified through weakness, yet He lives by the power of God.  We also are weak like him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you” 11Corth.13:4   It is written in Matthew 28:18  “JESUS CAME AND SAID, ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME IN HEAVEN AND IN EARTH”   I trust in His Everlasting Arms!
