power

Ephesians 1:18-20

18I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 19and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,

today is the 1st day of my 21 day fast... woke up not feeling that great.... not one of those days when i wake up and i feel like i m ready to take on the world.... but one of those that i felt like pulling the blankie over my head and going back to sleep.... till i m more ready to face the day.... pulled myself together and got up and decided TODAY IS THE DAY.... 1ST DAY OF MY FAST.... i am getting up to pray and get on with life.... no hiding under blankie....

above is the verse for today.... it transpired from a loved one telling me he craved power. he would like to be a real life bad guy. and that worried me. so i went on biblegateway and did a word search on power... and this is what God said.... Paul prayed that the ephesians may be enlightened to know the HOPE, the GLORIOUS RICHES and the INCOMPARABLY GREAT POWER for us who believe. what caught my eye was.... INCOMPARABLY GREAT POWER.... as this loved one craved for power.... so do i want to know this INCOMPARABLY GREAT POWER that i am able to access from God. to be able to plug in and tap into the POWER. to be a POWERFUL in witnessing, influencing the lives of the people around me.... to be POWERFUL in the way God has called me to. not so i can stroke my ego and feel good bout myself. but to be effective as a child of God....

8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."
Acts 1:8

this power needs to be continuously fueled.... plugged into God's POWER source. some where i think i have lost that connection. i am replugging myself.... God, i want to be super POWDERFUL[God, You know what i mean :)] for you....
