Preparing for Power Part 3Sample

Claim and step into God's power in your life.

At the end of this passage, Elijah comes face to face with Ahab. Elijah is accused of being the reason behind the troubles and suffering the Israelites are facing. He confidently responds to Ahab that he is not the enemy in this situation.

Elijah speaks with authority that it’s Ahab who has abandoned God and led his people into sinful worship of idols. Elijah is able to face his enemy because he knows the true power of God. He knows that God has called him to this time and place. Elijah has seen how God walks before him and beside him when he acts according to God’s will.

As the beloved sons and daughters of the Most High King, we know through what we read in scripture that when we follow God’s way, the same power that is alive in Him is also in us. Best of all – for both Elijah as he faces Ahab in 1 Kings, and for all of us – the fullness of God’s power is yet to come.

Ask Yourself:

-Where have you seen God’s power at work?

-What would it look like for you to live fully receiving God’s power over my life?

-What are some of the roadblocks that keep you living within your own power instead of in God’s power?

Pause to Pray: Father God, I believe that you are alive in me. I believe that in your power, anything is possible. Please help me to step into your power when it comes to ________ in my life…

Take a Next Step: As you pray to receive God’s power in your life, pray for your friends, family members, coworkers, to also see and feel God’s power in their life.
