All the Power You Need

Weak? (today we call it – “burned-out”…)

But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. – Acts 1:8 AMP

The very purpose that Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to us is to empower us to fulfill His will! If we are truly walking in His power we should not grow weak or “burnout”. Some Bible words that describe what we call “burnout” are “faint, weak, weary, tired”. But there is a solution!

He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength [causing it to multiply and making it to abound]. [II Cor. 12:9.] Even youths shall faint and be weary, and [selected] young men shall feebly stumble and fall exhausted; But those who wait for the Lord [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired. [ Heb. 12:1-3.] – Isaiah 40:29-31 AMP

The key is waiting on the Lord and being endued with the power of His Spirit! He desires to fill you with Himself so that you can do what you were designed to do in His strength! It is all in the waiting and surrender! (those concepts are a little foreign to us in this day and hour!…)

Wait and be filled with the power of the Holy Spirit of God right now!

A Word for You

The Lord has a word for you today. Believe it? “Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).” – Jeremiah 33:3 AMP

In order to hear Him speak specifically to us we need to call to Him. In other words ask Him and invite Him to speak to us.

Moses went close to the bush. He made a move toward God. Many people today desire to know the will of God and hear God speak to Him but give Him no opportunity to speak. They hardly ever “get quiet” before the Lord and “wait”. This concept is foreign to today’s generation. We need to teach our children and their children to ASK, WAIT and LISTEN. We have a saying in our house, “STOP, DROP and PRAY” to mean that we give the Lord priority over anything and everything else.

The Lord has a word specifically for you today. Are you ready to receive it?

Wait – don’t faint!

You don’t have to faint. You can be strong in the Lord and the power of His might! You have a choice.

But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. – Isaiah 40:31 NKJV

I have heard many people say, “I am just so tired all the time”. Stress, worry, anxiety produces weariness and exhaustion. This is a plan of the enemy…can you see that? Don’t wear it as a badge of honor! Or as to get sympathy from people so that they will feel sorry for you and commend you for your hard work and extra effort. Jesus said, “I give rest to the weary”. – Matt. 11:28

We must wait on the Lord to receive His strength. In His presence is the only place to receive His strength and a refilling of His power. Don’t neglect your DAILY personal, private time with Him. You may say, “I just can’t afford the extra time…” You CAN’T afford NOT to invest the extra time. (Double negative intented) Stop what you are doing right now, grab your Bible and just worship Him for a while…wait in His presence until you receive His strength! Then you will have all the power you need to do all that He has called you to do today.
