God’s Power

God’s Power is amazing!! The God of the universe promises to give us His power when we pray and summon His power into our situations and circumstances.  Because God’s Power belongs to Him, He instructs us to “ask: God to summon His power, when we Proclaim His Power, He gives us His power and strength. 

1. God’s Power belongs to God
     Psalm 62:11 – “God has spoken once, Twice I have heard this: That power belongs to God.”

2. Pray to summon the power of God
     Psalm 68:28 “Summon your power God; show us your strength, our God, as you have done before.”

3. Proclaim the power of God
        Psalm 68:34 – “Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the heavens.”

4. God gives power and strength to His people
       Psalm 68:35 – “You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!”

We will look at the dictionary to gain insight on the meanings of the following words in order to understand these passages.

Ask – means to inquire, request; solicit; demand; expect

Summon means to ask someone or something to come

Proclaim – means announce; declare; extol or praise publicly

Gives means to place in someone’s care; impact, present; offer; bestow; provide; confer; grant

When we pray, we are asking God to come bringing His power.  We are proclaiming that the God of all the universe possesses “POWER” and we publicly praise Him.  And as always, God is faithful and true to give us; bestow on us; grant to us; confer to us HIS POWER!!!

Thank you God for possessing POWER and for promising to us who ask and proclaim YOUR POWER to guide us and give us strength in all circumstances!!

Ephesians 6:10 – Be strong in the Lord and the strength of HIS might.  Being a believer does not give you immunity from assaults from the enemy, but it DOES give you access to the POWER of the Father – HIS POWER to defend you as well as reverse what’s been done to you.  We are connected to more spiritual POWER than what is coming against you (Priscilla Shirer, Armor of God)

Help me to recognize that I belong to God and that power belongs to God.  His POWER is available whenever I ask, proclaim and receive it!!
