The life of God birthed in you when you accepted Jesus as your Savior and Lord is the same life that Jesus received in the tomb when He rose from the dead! The seed that resurrected Him to a new beginning, now causes a new reality of power and purpose in you as well. His work is complete—now He lives in YOU and works through YOU on the earth with His miracle life!

God in us is the continual source of life. We’re like an extension cord. The power in the cord is potential power—present but not seen or used until plugged into something that will put a draw on it. All the power that is in God is in us when we are plugged into Jesus. When we in turn plug into others with the truth of God’s Word, the power of God flows through us to meet their needs in the exact same way it flowed through Jesus when He was on the earth!

We are God’s conduits of blessing. You can be a bathroom faucet or a huge industrial pipe, it’s up to you. God is pouring out His blessing from heaven 24 hours a day, but you decide the amount that will flow through you!

You never have to lose your enthusiasm for life. There’s more to be discovered than years left to live! You have a great future, with unlimited faith potential and flawless truth to fall back on, even in the toughest of times. Don’t let time steal your dreams—God has plans for you!

It’s interesting that in the four Gospels the writers didn’t talk about Jesus’ appearance—His features, the color of His eyes or skin, His muscles, His height, His posture, or His hair. Modern writers focus on these things, but the Gospels are different. They are focused on His words and His wonders! Regardless of what we look like, Jesus is to be our model in love, compassion, response, action, authority, wisdom, purpose and power!

You can overcome the fear of rejection and saying the wrong thing (or the right thing wrong) when you remember that favor isn’t always a result of performance. Regardless of your speaking abilities, or lack thereof, God can give you influence and anoint your words to be powerful and effective to your hearers!

We may see the multitudes of people in the world in many ways. Some of those ways can make us want to condemn them, but Jesus always sees people as a beautiful, precious harvest, ready to be gathered. A harvest has several characteristics: it is valuable, it must be gathered or it will be lost, and it is URGENT. Time moves quickly and then the opportunity is gone.  “I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work” (John 9:4).

The world is hungry to see a living Jesus who will confirm His Word with signs following, proving He is the same today as He was 2,000 years ago. The world sees enough of the devil, it’s time for God’s people to manifest! “For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the manifestation of the sons of God” (Romans 8:19).

People wonder why God isn’t moving, and He’s wondering why people aren’t moving. Jesus’ part is done and His job complete. God has given us the power to do what He does. It is a power over sickness and over devils. It’s no longer a matter of what He is going to do, but rather, what are WE going to do?

The same Holy Spirit, with the same resurrection power that raised Jesus from the dead, also indwells you as a believer. What does that mean for you? It means the very light and life of God resides in you—giving His life to your spirit, soul and your body too (Romans 8:11). It means there is no longer anything in you that belongs to the devil. (Colossians 1:13) It means all the authority and power that Jesus walked in on the earth now dwells in you to do the works that He did (John 14:12). What is your part? Enter into the rest of faith and receive it all as a gift of His grace to you. Stay connected to the power source, and you’ll be a walking light bulb everywhere you go!
