John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
What is needed in the case of the young and the restless, as well as the older, is the realization of the power that is available, the gold that you don’t know you have, and which has already been dispensed to every individual who has, or has had a relationship with God, for if persons do not know that they have power, they would not access it.
Therefore, as we examine the gold that is already in our possession, and which we may not have known we had, let’s endeavor by the grace of God to put it to use, in overcoming foes from within and without. This power comes through the presence of The Holy Spirit, who brings all the energy, will, and resources needed for us to live victoriously. The power to deal with any, and every situation will be highlighted, so that we may be aware of what God has granted to us through the third Person of The God-head.
Christians have been given power to stop bad habits dead in their tracks. Like Paul, some of us will often experience the gravitational pull of fallen human nature in our persons, but the power to stop desire from germinating into harbored thought and action is readily available at our fingertips.
2nd Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
