God's Power

Many people say they want God's resurrection power, but they forget one crucial part. What comes before a resurrection? Death. Pain. Suffering. Just as Jesus endured these things on the road to his resurrection, we can expect to endure them, too. God's power will not save you from suffering, but his power will get you through it. You can count on it.

God's power didn't save Joseph from prison, but God's power got him through prison--and through his power Joseph rose to prominence in Egypt and his family was restored.

God's power didn't prevent Moses from spending years exiled in Midian, but through God's power Moses was able to stand up to Pharaoh and lead God's people out of Egypt.

God's power didn't prevent Nehemiah from becoming a slave to King Artaxerxes, but through God's power Nehemiah was able to rebuild the wall of Jerusalem and was instrumental in bringing about revival in Israel.

God's power didn't prevent Jairus' daughter from dying, but through God's power she was raised to life.

God's power didn't prevent Bartimeus from being born blind, but through God's power his sight was restored.

God's power didn't prevent Paul and Silas from being beaten and thrown in jail, but through God's power their chains were broken and salvation came to the house of the Philippian jailer.

God's power didn't keep Paul out of prison, but through God's power he wrote the letters that have inspired countless millions in their spiritual life for the last 2000 years.

God's power is available to you--his resurrection power.

The result of understanding who Christ is, and understanding who you are in Christ, is that you will experience his resurrection power. Power that will change you from the inside out. Power over sin. Power over despair. Power over fear. His power is available to you.
