The Christian's Power To Accomplish Great Things

Three things which came into my mind today:

A New Hope Prayer for America's FATE.

Something I learned way too LATE.

The Righteous Relationship with Power to CREATE.

A New Hope Prayer for America's FATE: "LORD strike, in the pivotal place of evil, in America's government, and turn it from our wrong to your right and give your people revival."

Something I learned way too LATE:  There is always a price to be paid, a sacrifice to be made, or other important things delayed ... so that time may be found to sow the seed of good memories in a child's life.  In my case, God took my place and sowed His seed in that open space and bridged the gap for me.

A Righteous Relationship with POWER to CREATE: 

God did not say to Noah, "I will make you an Ark": He said, "Make yourself an Ark" Gen. 6:14.  Then God proceeded to tell Noah exactly how to accomplish the making of it.  God still calls upon His people to use their heads and hands to create, to make things happen and gives us the power and leadership to accomplish great things. He even gives us the power to choose to reject or to receive Him to become His children .... or not.

"But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name."  John 1:12.

Then He commissioned us to physically, personally make more disciples...

 "...Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature" Mark 16:15.

"Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you...." Matt.28:20

Then, He told them He would give them the necessary power to accomplish that huge and difficult command.

“But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me  .... unto the uttermost part of the earth.”  Acts 1:8

So the Christian's power to accomplish is the Spirit of Christ, in us, who does great things through us when we are yielded to Him ...

9

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.  Rom.8:9-11.

What could be more powerful than God IN us?
