The Power of God in Believers
by David G. Rose
Last week, we discussed the Power of God in Christ. Today, we consider the Power of God in His Believers. There are at least five key scriptures that provide understanding.
1. Ephesians 1:18-19 NKJV, “That you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.”
God has directed mighty power toward us through the precious Holy Spirit. This power is spiritual and practical for our daily walk. As Paul wrote in Philippians 4: 13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
2. Ephesians 3:20, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”
Do not miss the point of this scripture. It is transformative for weak Christians. The SAME power that raised Christ from the grave is working inside of us. This power enables us to live our daily life in victory, and to be the bold witness for Christ as we have been commissioned.
3. Luke 10:19, “Behold, I give you the authority (POWER) to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.”
The enemy is the Devil and his demons who work constantly to derail our Christian walk. In the Name of Jesus, we have vast authority and power to rise above condemnation and evil tricks that are meant to harm us. This is a matter of our choice to stand against the enemy, or to capitulate and fail.
4. Colossians 1:10-11, “That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy.”
The power that God provides us is not human. You cannot obtain it through physical exercise or exhaustive study and research. It is a gift from God and is received through faith. As it says in Ephesians 3:16, “That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.”
5. Ephesians 6:10, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.”
The source of our power is God Himself. When we think we are weak, we are ignoring the power that awaits our act of faith. The power of God can help us overcome addictions, despair, and oppressions that hinder our spiritual growth. The wise Believer claims God’s power with each new day and pursues whatever God has provided for them.
Determine today to stop trying to live your Christian life using your own wisdom, ability, and understanding. It just does not work. Seek the power of God and succeed.

Finally....
For stay at home Christians...
We started this ministry with you in mind. Recent reports state that many Christians no longer attend a church. They have been offended, or have to work, or they cannot physically leave their home, and so they stay at home.
Our heart is to reach out to you with Bible studies, hospital visitation, prayer for the sick, serving the Lord's Supper, counsel, etc. Just call on us and we will be of ministry if possible.
There is no obligation or membership. When you need personal ministry, click here for more information >>>>

All sufficiency
SCRIPTURE
& PRAYER
2 Corinthians 9:8 ESV - And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
Ephesians 3:20-21- Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer: Dear Lord, I give you praise, for from you all blessings flow. You are all powerful, all knowing, and you are present everywhere. No government can diminish your authority, and no system in this world can stand against you. All will falter under your mighty hand. May I live today with full assurance that you are more than able to provide for me beyond what I can even ask. In the Name of Jesus I pray.
Our Responsibilities
As Believers
A Brief Study regarding the expectations
that Jesus has for His Believers
as found in John 17
The Name of Jesus
by David G. Rose
Today, we continue a new series of articles based in John 17 discussing our responsibilities as Believers. Along with the awesome privileges we have, there are critical obligations that we must embrace so we can fulfil the callings of Christ.
The first responsibility is mentioned in John 17:6 NKJV, “I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.” Or as the Weymouth Translation reads: “I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message.”
It is our responsibility to tell the world about our glorious and wonderful God. Further, we must show the world that our faith in God is real by living a lifestyle that brings honor and praise to the Lord. Jesus is our Great Example. Pray to be more like Jesus.
Next week: Custodians of His Word
All-day Praise!
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
for words.

Content. Strength. Centrality.
by Rev. Tom Miller
There’s a lot to the Bible and the doctrines of the Church. Everyone seems to have their own convincing spin and usually the last person you listen to has you leaning his way.
Romans 14:5 says, “One person esteems one day above another, another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind.”
There are some gray areas in scripture. We may THINK we know, but maybe we don’t. Let me show you how I look at disputable matters.
What you believe is the CONTENT of your belief. The degree to which you believe it, is the STRENGTH of your belief. Then there’s the CENTRALITY of your belief.
Let’s say I believe blueberries are good for me. That’s the content of my belief. I believe it strongly, say 98%. That’s the strength of my belief. But what if I find blueberries have no nutritional value. It is not a belief central to my life, so not much will change for me.
Let’s try another example: I believe Jesus died for my sins. That’s the content of my belief. The strength of my belief is 99.9%. Now let’s say I find out tomorrow Jesus did NOT die for my sins. Absolutely everything in my life changes dramatically. It’s a very central belief for me.
There are viewpoints I believe strongly in, but they are not very central to my worldview and how I live my life. These are probably gray areas, only vaguely addressed in Scripture. These are hills I am not willing to die on, arguments I’m unwilling to have beyond simple points of interest. Now if you want to debate about Jesus dying for my sins – let’s go. I’ll give you everything I have over that. That fact means the world to me, and I will fight to the death the reality of the blood of Jesus that has washed away my iniquity. Content. Strength. Centrality.
Steps to
Finding
New Life
in Christ
If you desire to make Christ the Lord over your life, here are six important steps to take right now:
1. Admit that you have sinned against God- Romans 3:23
2. Understand that Jesus died for your sins and offers cleansing and salvation - Romans 5:8
3. Remember that if you continue to ignore the call of Christ, you will spend eternity separated from God - Romans 6:23
4. Place your faith in Christ. He will save you and provide a life of blessing - Romans 8:1
5. Confess your sins to Christ and repent for your works against God - Romans 10:9-10
6. Invite Jesus to be the Lord and Master of your life - Romans 10:13
Pray this prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner and need your forgiveness. I believe that only you can forgive sins. I ask you to come into my heart, forgive my sins, and be the ruler of my life. Thank you for saving me from my sins. Thank you for the love that you show me everyday. I now know that eternal life is a gift given from you. I pray and ask that you be the Lord of my life, lead me, guide me and
direct my path that I may walk each and every day with you. In the wonderful name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
