7TOT- ITS ACCORDING TO THE POWER WITHIN
Description
"Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,"Ephesians 3:20 )
The working of God in your life is not according to the Power of God in Heaven. It is not according to the power that God has but according to the power that works within you. This is one of the reasons it seems as though so many Christians are leaving a defeated life because they do not know how to put the power of God to work. Even though they have the power resident in them, they do not know how to start that power. They do not know how to activate that power.
In Jude 1:20 , the Bible says
"But you, beloved, building up yourselves in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit,"
This verse tells us what to do, it says building up yourself in your most Holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit.
First the Holy Spirit does not function outside of God’s Word. So God's word comes first. The bible says in Romans 10:17 , So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Hallelujah. As you hear the word of God faith comes.
Jude 1:20 says building up yourself in your most Holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit. So the main important thing is, how do you pray in the Holy Spirit? A lot of people do not know how to pray in the Holy Spirit. Because of time I will briefly share that today but will explain more in details either in another devotional, so keep following and reading our materials. Praise the Lord.
So how do you pray in the Holy Spirit, In 1 Corinthians 14:14 , it says For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. Hallelujah. So praying in tongues is Praying in the Spirit. Praying in the Spirit is not by you keeping quiet and thinking the prayer in your heart. Words either known or unknown has to be uttered when you pray. Hallelujah. When Jesus and all the people in the Bible prayed, those around them either heard a sound or the content of their prayers. So do not deceieve yourself by thinking that praying in the spirit means to think your prayers. The bible says, if I pray in tongues my spirit prays but mind is unfruitful. There are different kinds of prayers.
And also there's praying in your understanding which is praying a language that you understand and there's praying in the spirit which is praying in tongues or unknown language.
That is what the bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:15 , Paul said,
"So what shall I do? I will pray with my spirit, but I will also pray with my understanding; I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my understanding."
Did you notice that the spirit comes first. Yes Christianity is a supernatural life and it's always the spirit first. Religion will teach to pray with your mind first but God says it's with the Spirit first. I trust the Holy Spirit to amplify what you have heard today in your heart and more will come to you as you study the word of God and also follow our teachings and other faith materials.
Hallelujah, if you are not yet born again, this is your moment to receive the Lordship of Jesus and the miracle of salvation. To do so please say the salvation prayer in this devotion and meaning it with your heart. God bless you.
AFFIRMATION.
I have the life and the nature of God resident in me and therefore I can do all things through His anointing and strength that is at work in me. I live in power, glory and I am wonderfully and beautifully made by my Creator. Amen.
