Do you feel incompetent at times to take control of your life when it seems like nothing is going the way you want it to go? Do you feel powerless like you can not accomplish those things in your life you want to do because you feel so inadequate or out of your league? As a Christian there are times many of us feel this way when we know nothing of the authority and the power that we have through Gods grace. Grace means unmerited favor, Gods willingness to give us his power and authority even though we do not deserve it.
Power and authority is given to us for Gods purpose and his timing in our lives as we serve him daily within his ministry. I’m not just talking about a pulpit ministry, but each individual ministry within us all as we reach out to others with the gospel through the works we are to continue in for the Lord to bring glory and honor to his name. The works are simply to feed the hungry, clothe the naked and visit those who are in their own prisons as when we do this we are doing it unto the Lord.
Gods power and authority is what helps us to stand against the principalities of darkness of this world so we can continue in the ministry of Jesus as when we first asked him into our hearts this created a new inner man or Spiritual man whom is no longer part of this world, nor should he or she conform themselves to this world. We may have to live in this world and as a servant of God Satan will try anything he can to silence Gods word in us, but we need not fear what Satan or this world can do to us as we have Gods Spirit dwelling in us and guiding us and God will see us through all the trials and tribulations that can come against us to bring us out victorious in his name.
Never feel inadequate or incompetent as this is only unbelief that Satan is trying to put in your mind so he can quench the word of God that is already in you. Gods’ power and authority in your life will bring you to places you only dreamed of and were afraid to go to. It’s Gods strength within us through the Holy Spirit that gives us the freedom and privilege to take his gospel where it needs to go in the timing and purpose of Gods ministry in another persons life that needs to hear the good news of Gods salvation.
God does not want our ability, but our availability.
