The Power Within

Can I have more of God’s power working in me?

God’s Response

Yes, I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5

When Simon saw that the Spirit was given when the apostles laid their hands on people, he offered them money to buy this power. . . . But Peter replied, “May your money be destroyed with you for thinking God’s gift can be bought! You can have no part in this, for your heart is not right with God.” Acts 8:18-21

Spiritual power comes from living closely with Jesus Christ—only then does he make his power available to you. God’s power cannot be bought or used for selfish purposes. God gives power for godly living and for helping you do the tasks to which he calls you.

This Is Promising

May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Ephesians 3:19
