The Transforming Power of God

Acts 1:8
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

It is an exceptional time for you and I who are in the body of Christ to witness the manifestation of the power of God. We are living in a generation and in a world at large where there is an acceptance to having a form of godliness with minimal transformation in the lives of people. When your mind is transformed (Romans 12:2) then you can DEMONSTRATE that it is possible to walk in the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God. God's power is centered on His will and His glory. His power is transformative.  As you read the book of Acts, you will find the transformative power of God at work in the lives of the Apostles and other Believers in Jesus Christ. A transformed life makes a difference in how you do things.  The power of God orders your life to experience continuous victory.  Here are 3 important points to remember about the power of God.

I. God’s Power is promised to you.
The Lord’s desire is for all Believers to receive power from Him; power to witness, power to perform or do, and power to live. The Lord made you this promise because you cannot advance His kingdom without power. The Lord gives you the ability to operate in His name and to carry out His purposes here on earth. The power of God must be given to you so that you can know how to function in His will. God wants to use you for His maximum glory, to your maximum potential, and to the maximum benefit of those to whom you will minister. When God makes a promise to you, He will perform it. You don’t have to wonder if you will receive power. He said He will give it. Now it is up to you to receive it and walk in it. It is time for the power of God to be manifested in your life!

II. God’s Power is present in you.
Not only has God promised to give you power, but He will allow His power to be present with you. God will allow the power to reside in your life that you can do whatever is needed according to His will. He will allow His power to stay with you so that your life will not be persuaded by the darkness of this world. God’s desire is for you to continuously walk in His will. For this to take place you need the abiding presence of the Holy Ghost. The Spirit of the Lord will guide your life into divine destiny. The Holy Spirit of Promise, the presence of God will take you out of your comfort zone and position you into God’s plans. When God is present with you, He will transform you and your mind will be renewed. The Spirit of the Lord will direct you into all that is God’s will for your life.

III. God’s Power is proven through you.
You are one of God’s vessels that He wants to use to manifest His power. God wants you to walk in the fullness of His power in everything you do. The Holy Ghost wants to manifest His miracle working power through you that the name of the Lord may be glorified. The Spirit of the Lord is upon you now and He will reign in your life. The days are growing darker, but the Lord gives you light so that you can live and move in God,  you can show the love of God, and you can laugh at the enemy's failure. Though the powers of darkness are at work, they can be defeated by the power of God. You do not walk in darkness; you walk in the unrestrained power of God. You have the great light of God. Now, reveal it!

Do you believe that God has all power? We must have faith to believe that with God all things are possible; there are no more limitations. Let your faith stand in the power of God that brings deliverance, healing, and restoration. The power of God will manifest through your life to heal the sick, to perform miracles, and to do the acceptable and perfect will of God. You will continue to do great exploits for the Kingdom of God!
