You have tremendous power in your life. Power is simply defined as the ABILITY to DO SOMETHING.



You have the ability to do something. The ability to change, the ability to begin, the ability to keep going. I believe within you is the power to do things that would simply blow your mind. A work of the enemy is to make you feel incapable of doing something, but you are so powerful.



Understand this, God has given you the gift of his Holy Spirit to strengthen and guide you. While the Holy Spirit often sounds mysterious and honestly a little bit hookey, it is simply God’s power at work within you. In John chapter 14 verses15-31, Jesus is speaking to his disciples, preparing them for his own death and he explains that while he is going away and they will no longer see him, the Holy Spirit is coming to them to live in them. God is literally living IN them. Jesus says, “I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you. He is the Holy Spirit who leads into all truth. The world cannot receive him, because it isn’t looking for him and doesn’t recognize him. But you know him, because he lives with you and later will be in you. When the Father sends the Advocate as my representative – that is the Holy Spirit – he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you. I am leaving you with a gift – peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid.”



You and I don’t have to wander around like lost puppies in this world. Troubled and afraid is not your place. Perpetually confused is not your assignment. We have a guide who is always with us. He promises to teach us everything and lead us into all truth. Lies cannot stand against his Spirit of truth. Fear cannot remain in the presence of his gifted peace.



We have within us power. Power working within us. Our God, the one who created us, the one who knew us before he knit us together in our mother’s womb, the one who has a good plan for our lives has placed his power within you and he is working.



Ephesians 3:20 “to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”



You are a power house. Like literally! Oh yes you are. I’m not just saying that to be cute. You are literally housing the power of God. That power is inside of you. The power that creates, the power that heals, the power that tears down walls and moves mountains. The power that parts seas. The power that supernaturally provides. The power that changes absolutely everything. That power is in you. You are a power house because God dwells within you.



What stronghold have you battled? Is there an addiction or bad habit that has held you back? Is there something in your life you truly want to change, but feel it would be so darn hard to change? Well I’m not going to lie to you and tell you it will be easy. It likely won’t be. However, you were specifically designed to be able to handle tough things. You are not weak. No matter what the enemy tries to tell you, you are NOT WEAK. You have God himself living inside of you and NOTHING is impossible for God. Nothing.



So you bring your impossible. You bring it right to the foot of the cross and you lay it down and tell God you don’t want to pick it up again.



Are you really ready to change? Are you really ready to make it happen this time? Are you really ready to step up to the next level of living and start living up to your God given potential. AWESOME – within you is the power to do all that and more.
