kcm devotional March 14th Activate the Power Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. - Ephesians 3:20 As a believer, you have the power of the Holy Spirit inside you. But that power wont go to work until you put it to work! The Holy Spirit wont just muscle in on you. He wont come in and turn down the television set and jerk you up off the couch and say, Now you listen to me. No, Hes a gentleman. Hes sent to help you to do the will of God, to strengthen you, to counsel you...but He wont do a thing until Hes asked. Thats why the book of James says if youre in trouble or afflicted, pray. Its prayer that puts the power within you to work. Just think about that. The Spirit of Almighty God. The Spirit that hovered over the face of the deep and carried out Gods Word at creation, that same Spirit is inside you--waiting for you to call on Him! If Jesus came into your house and sat down at your table, youd put aside everything to talk to Him, wouldnt you? You wouldnt just rush through and say, Jesus, Im so glad to see you. I wish I had the energy to talk to You, but You wouldnt believe what kind of a day I had today. I mean, everything in the world went wrong and now Im just too tired to do anything but lay here and watch TV. Maybe we can spend some time together later. You wouldnt do that, would you? No! If Jesus were sitting there in your room where you could see Him, youd fall on your face and begin to worship Him. You wouldnt care how tired you were or what kind of day you had. Youd jump at the opportunity to fellowship with Him. The Holy Ghost is in you. Hes waiting on you. Hes ready any time of the day or night. Hes saying, Im here to help you and strengthen you. I want to comfort you today. You know that problem youve been having? I want to help you get that out of your life. The Holy Spirit has some things He wants to show you--things youve been trying to figure out on your own. Hes waiting there with the power to overcome every obstacle in your life. Take time to pray. Pray in the Spirit. Pray with understanding. Pray and activate the power that worketh within you today. By Gloria Copeland
