Devotions: Strengthened with Power


that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
Ephesians 3:16 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

God contains all power. He has many mighty gifts in His hand and He gives generously and graciously. He has the gift of strength to give us through the Holy Spirit which He wants to give. The trick is that first we have to have the Spirit in us. We cannot receive His power through the Spirit if the Spirit does not live in us, if we have not given our lives to Christ in salvation. The other trick is that we have to not only seek power from the Spirit (instead of pridefully living in our own strength), but we also have to keep from hindering the Spirit. Unconfessed sin and wrong habits/attitudes can and will hinder the Spirit’s work in our lives, consequently limiting the flow of power. We need to seek the Spirit and keep that channel open. We need to examine our lives to remove any sin that blocks that channel. We need to continually seek the presence of God. Do you have His Spirit in you? Is the channel open or is there something in your life that is blocking His flow of power?
