Spiritual PowerSample

As we experience spiritual power, we’ll find that it is more than enough to supply all of our needs.

Paul describes the working of spiritual power as 

“Able to do abundantly beyond all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20). 

For the believer, whatever the circumstances or trials we encounter, God is able to meet our needs because His superlative, His “beyond” power works within us. We must remember that God gives the believer this experience of His “beyond” power because it ultimately leads to His glory (3:21).

We can identify a person who knows God by the demonstration of God’s power in the midst of a situation that would render the normal Christian powerless. When this person is tempted to lose heart, his or her knowledge of God imparts a spiritual power that transcends, or goes beyond, the trials being experienced. 

As we arrive at an understanding of our identity as God’s children and allow Christ to dwell in our lives as Lord, we, too, will experience this benefit of spiritual power that will supply every need.  

The people of Israel often sustained themselves during times of trial by remembering the “mighty acts” of God as He demonstrated His power to them throughout their history. Can you recall demonstrations of God’s superlative or “beyond” power in your life?
