Power Source

Mt. Ararat (NASA)

Day 110
I am the source of all energy -- the Power Source. You cannot find true power for living apart from Me. I have a limitless supply. It flows forever. If you are living, acting, working, thinking, speaking out of your own human power, you will wear yourself out and become used up.

Tap into my power that is within you, if you have been born of the Spirit. Keep feeding the deposit of my Spirit that is in you, with my word, with direct communication with Me, and with the fellowship of true believers.

My Spirit is a deep well within you, capable of holding all my power. Fill it up with my word, by intimate fellowship and communion with my Holy Spirit. Energy will abound.

Let me put this question to you: How did your new life begin? Was it by working your heads off to please God? Or was it by responding to God's Message to you? Are you going to continue this craziness? For only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God. If you weren't smart enough or strong enough to begin it, how do you suppose you could perfect it? Did you go through this whole painful learning process for nothing? It is not yet a total loss, but it certainly will be if you keep this up!

Answer this question: Does the God who lavishly provides you with his own presence, his Holy Spirit, working things in your lives you could never do for yourselves, does he do these things because of your strenuous moral striving or because you trust him to do them in you? Don't these things happen among you just as they happened with Abraham? He believed God, and that act of belief was turned into a life that was right with God. Is it not obvious to you that persons who put their trust in Christ (not persons who put their trust in the law!) are like Abraham: children of faith? It was all laid out beforehand in Scripture that God would set things right with non-Jews by faith. Scripture anticipated this in the promise to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed in you." So those now who live by faith are blessed along with Abraham, who lived by faith—this is no new doctrine! -- Galatians 3:2-9

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: "Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God." -- Revelation 19:1

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. -- Ephesians 3:20,21
