20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly
The power that lives in us is the same power that God used to raise Jesus from the dead. The hindrance to that power is our own unbelief. Self stands in the way of the working out of that great power. We need to put to death self so that the spirit man can be raised up to do the will of God. As we get ourselves out of the way and yield our will over to the Spirit of God, his power is made manifest. The brakes get put on our spiritual forward motion through our unbelief or doubt. When we stop expecting God to work on our behalf or when self insists on its own way we sense the power of God diminish in our lives, but when we are clear in His will and we are humbled in the flesh then His power is available.
APPLICATION
I must decrease so He may increase. I need to humble my self and He will flow through me.
Welcome
One of the most effective ways to allow the Word of God to affect your life is to study it inductively. That is what this blog is all about. Typically one verse per day will be mined for insight and then followed up with how I plan to implement that insight practically. My prayer is that in some way you find this useful in your journey and that it may impact you positively. -G
