You have potential of God’s Power

You have the potential to operate in God’s power, I believe you need this declaration in your life. Understand who God says you are!!

Scripture:Colossians1:9-12

I want you to notice how Paul instructs us on the qualities that he sums up in verse 12 as being the inheritance. They are:

1.Being filled with the knowledge of God’s will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding
2.Walking in a manner worthy of the Lord
3.To please God in all respects
4.Bearing fruit in every good work
5.Increasing in the knowledge of God
6.Being strengthened with all power
7.Attaining all steadfastness and patience
8.Joyously giving thanks
When I first reviewed this list it struck me. This isn’t an inheritance, it’s a task list. I have be filled, I have to walk worthy, I have to please God, I have to bear fruit and so on. No wonder I have no power. But I felt God say to me, “No, you have it all wrong. This is a blessing that goes in this order.  Now read this and hear what I [the Lord] am saying:”

“Be filled with the knowledge of my will with all spiritual wisdom and understanding and pursue it diligently.  This is walking in a manner worthy of me and is according to my will and you will know what to do at all times. And when you do this, you will please me in all respects. And then you will bear much fruit. As you do, you will begin to increase in your knowledge of me, seeing how I work and you will then become strengthened with power. Having then attained steadfastness by working all things through in this way, in a patient manner, you will be able to joyously give me thanks because you will have persevered and your reward will be made full.”

Remember we Walk with Victory not to it!!!
