AWESOME POWER

Ephesians 1:19-22

Prayer for Spiritual Wisdom

19 I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power 20 that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. 21 Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. 22 God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.


Did you catch that? The power that raised Christ from the dead has been made available to us. The power of God is at work in the church and it is at work in the life of the believer. The same power that raised Jesus, has all authority in you and I. It has snatched every believer in Christ from the grip of death … “the wages of sin is death … the gift of God is eternal life” (Romans 6:23).

That ought to make you shout with joy!
