Praise the Lord Beloved!!! Happy Friday to you all. đ
Â
Back in the day I use to love a song by C&C Music Factory called I “Got the Power”. That turned out to be our city league softball teams anthem after each game. We had several men including me that could âgo yardâ (hit home runs) in any given ending or during a softball tournament. A few of us could hit 2 or three homes during any given game. So, after each victory my friend would crank up the song âI Got the Powerâ.
Â
Beloved, as a believer, you have the power also. Each day we wake up itâs a victory and weâre blessed with power to engineer the new day. Residing in you is the same new life God gave Jesus when He raised Him from the dead. The old sinner you once were has died. Youâve become a new creation on the inside. The power you have inside you is called âresurrection powerâ. When youâre living morally correct Youâre full of the resurrection life of God!!!
Â
But immorality, rebelliousness and living a selfish, carnal life will keep that resurrection life from flowing out. Sin will separate you from the resurrection power of God, even though youâre born again. Resurrection power will lay dormant in you if you walk in sin.
Â
Beloved, you canât overcome sin by âTRYINGâ to stop sinning. You overcome it by walking after the new life God has put within you, by spending time in the Word and in prayer and of course changing the atmosphere around you if possible. As you do that, the Spirit of God will strengthen you and enable you to put that sin under your feet. The Holy Spirit wonât calm down those old fleshly habits of yours on His own. Heâll wait on you to take the initiative. Then Heâll strengthen you to follow through with your decision. Heâll teach you how to walk in the new life âWITH the Powerâ thatâs on the inside of you.
Â
Beloved, this weekend, take the first step by asking for His help. If you don’t know how here’s an example for you, just say: âLord, I desire to experience the power to live by this new life every day. I’ve made a conscience decision, Iâm discontinuing my worldly ways of immorality, rebelliousness. Living a selfish carnal life will not dictate to me any longer. I declare myself dead to sin. In Jesusâ Name, starting today, Iâll spend time in prayer and in the Word. As I do, I believe Iâll receive the Holy Ghost which will refresh ârebootâ my life with resurrection power.â
Â
Beloved, YOU GOT THE POWER!!! đ

Have a blessed Weekend Everyone!!! đ
