THE POWER WITHIN



Rom 8:3-4
The law of Moses was unable to save us because of the weakness of our sinful nature. So God did what the law could not do. God sent His own Son in a body like the bodies we sinners have. And in that body God declared an end to sin's control over us by giving his Son as a sacrifice for our sins. 4 He did this so that the just requirement of the law would be fully satisfied for us, who no longer follow our sinful nature but instead follow the Spirit.

There is a nature you were born with that works contrary to the nature of God’s Spirit who now lives within you if indeed you are born again. This sinful nature is one that you now have power not to follow because of the sacrifice of Jesus.
The power of God that now works in you is what makes you able to rise again even if you fall seven times.
A man without power will not be able to rise even if he falls once. God wants you to walk in the victory that He has destined for you by taking advantage of the power He deposited within you when you became born again. You are not an ordinary person if you no longer follow the sinful nature you were born with because it takes God’s great power within you to do this.
Begin today with a renewed determination to follow the Spirit of God that lives within you.


Prayer: Heavenly father, I thank you for your gift of salvation, thank you for preserving my life to this day. I pray that you give me grace to follow your Spirit within me, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.
