Absolute Power“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly ABOVE all that we ask or think, according to the POWER that works in us.” (Ephesians 3:20) As a believer, you have the power of the Holy Spirit inside you. You have more absolute power than Clint Eastwood, but it won’t go to work until you do. The Greek word translated as power is dunamis, from which we get the English word dynamite, dynamic and dynamo. The Holy Spirit, however, won’t just muscle in on you like Tony Soprano. He won’t come in and stop the DVD of that R-rated movie while you are getting hot and heavy. No, He’s An Officer and a Gentleman, but much better than Richard Gere. He’s been sent from heaven to help you to do the will of God, to strengthen you, to teach you the Word of God, to comfort you, to advise you. But He won’t do a thing until you ask Him, until you plug into the socket of His dunamis power. That’s why James 5:13 says if you’re suffering or afflicted, pray. It’s prayer that puts the yoke-destroying, burden-removing power of God within you to work. The Spirit of Almighty God, the Ruach Elohim, the Spirit that hovered over the waters and carried out God’s spoken Word at creation, is the very same Spirit inside you, waiting for you to call on Him! If God were sitting In The Bedroom next to Sissy Spacek, you’d fall on your face and worship Him, wouldn’t you? You’d jump at the opportunity to have fellowship with the LORD of all things instead of the Lord of the Rings. Well, the Holy Spirit is no hobbit, He’s in you and He’s waiting to hobnob with you. He’s ready 24 hours a day saying, “I’m not from the government and I’m here to help you. I can strengthen you and comfort you. You know that problem that’s bugging you? I can help to wash that out of your life.” The Holy Spirit has good things He wants to show you, things you've been trying to get on your own. He’s waiting there with the absolute power to overcome every obstacle in your life, to turn your scars into stars, your mess into a message, your test into a testimony, and your trials into triumphs. Take time to pray, and pray in the Spirit. Pray with understanding in accordance with the Word of God. Pray and activate the power that works within you today. Copyright © 2002 Eddy Ministries.
