Power Boost 6: Next Level

READY 

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.’” Ephesians 3:20 NLT

SET

If you listen to athletes and coaches speak, what you might hear often is, “next level.” I want to take my game to the next level or let’s get our team to the next level. Next level young athlete means beating your opponent; next level for a high school athlete may mean playing in college, and for a college athlete, it may mean playing professionally. Having vision, dreams, and goals are essential for athletes and teams to win.

What if we took the same approach in our walk with Christ? The verse above describes five levels of serving and honoring God:

1. Things of the World—meaning things in my life for which I have not asked God’s help;

2. Ask—getting God involved through prayer;

3. Think—letting dreams of a stronger walk with God fill my heart and mind;

4. More—God is able and willing to do more than even our thoughts, dreams, and imaginations;

5. Infinite Power—God has infinite power and can transform your life for His glory today.

This verse tells us that His mighty power is at work within us to accomplish all the levels of living for Christ. Today, we can experience His power at work in our lives!

GO

1. What things are you facing for which you haven’t even prayed for (Level 1)?

2. Does God speak to you through your thoughts or little signs you see? How do you respond?

3. Who on your team will be impacted by God’s power?

WORKOUT

• Jeremiah 32:17

OVERTIME

“Lord, may my high goals of accomplishing amazing things in life be surpassed by the goal of walking closely with You, praying continually, and seeing You do infinitely more than I can ask or think.”
