  God’s Power and Work Scripture: Isaiah 43:13, NKJV “ Indeed before the day was, I am He; and there is no one who can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it? ” (Isaiah 43:13, NKJV) This “power verse” paints a picture of how  Son Power  is the ultimate power. No one can deliver anything out of the hand of God. He is all-powerful. All things are subject to him. God makes it very clear that when he works, or declares that something is to be done, it will be done! He asks a redundant question, “Who will reverse it?” Obviously, no one can reverse the work of God. When he chooses to bless, blessings will come. When he chooses to have his judgment fall on an individual or a nation, no can do anything about it. This truth provides an incentive for us to want to be recipients of Son Power. We want God to do imperishable works in us and through us. We want him to grant us the power, capacity, and opportunity to accomplish great things for him. His plan and purpose...

  Strong in Resurrection Power “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” — Romans 8:11 Reflection You’re the apple of Father’s eye. God’s elect will not be defeated. Whatever has happened in your past, whatever has wounded you or tried to hold you, the power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in your life. That which victimized you in the past is not going to hold you forever, even as the grave couldn’t hold Jesus. The power that raised Jesus from the dead, the power that conquered everything, is at work in you. You’re going to get through it. You’re going to get over it. And you’re going to get beyond it. But it is important to realize that sometimes Father will bring us through seasons and circumstances that cause us to become weak. Paul experienced this with the thorn in his flesh. He kept praying for Father to take it aw...

  Son Power Prepares Us for God’s Work Scripture: 2 Timothy 2:21, NLT “ If you keep yourself pure, you will be a special utensil for honorable use. Your life will be clean, and you will be ready for the Master to use you for every good work.”  (2 Timothy 2:21, NLT) Son Power  must be at work on the inside of us as well as on outside if we are to be used by God to accomplish his will. Jesus tells us, “All who love me will do what I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them” (John 14:23, NIV). We show Jesus that we love him by obeying his commandments. The Father and Son’s visitation to us is conditioned on our being obedient believers. The question each of us must ask ourselves is this: Do we  want  to be a vessel that Christ can use? Ephesians 4:30–32 tells us, “Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along...

  The Law Reveals God “Jesus said to him, ‘Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father.’” — John 14:9 Reflection One of the purposes of the Law was to reveal God’s nature. When God appeared before Israel at Mount Sinai, He came in awesome, terrifying glory. There was fire, smoke, dark clouds, thunder, lightning, the sound of trumpets, and even the mountain itself shook violently. The people trembled and stood at a distance. But God’s revelation to the Jewish people was not just a one-time physical event. God revealed Himself more by giving His people the Law, which was an expression of His very nature. The Lord did not give the Jewish people just regulations, rituals, and commandments. He gave them a picture of who He is. Many of us today read the passages of the Torah that convey the Law and feel overwhelmed by their extraordinary details. But if that is all we get out of our reading, we are missing the point. ...

  Perishable vs. Imperishable Scripture: Luke 4:1–2, NLT “Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. He was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, where he was tempted by the devil for forty days.”  (Luke 4:1–2, NLT) Without  Son Power , we are helpless to counter the deceitfulness of Satan. Notice in the above verses that Jesus was “full of the Holy Spirit.” Son Power gives us the wisdom we need to counter the various temptations of the evil one. The entire story of Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness is found in Luke 1:1–13.  Jesus was filled with the Spirit  and  led into the wilderness by the Spirit. He was tempted by Satan when he was at a point of human weakness. It was only through the power of the Holy Spirit that he was able to overcome Satan’s temptations. Satan tempted Jesus in areas of physical comfort, material blessings, and the allure of power and fame. With each attempt to tempt him, Jesus countered with the use of th...

  The Way of Escape    No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.  1 Corinthians 10:13   We read the story of the Hebrew slaves coming out of Egypt as history. But the apostle Paul told the Corinthians that within the story there is found an example—an example for us about the dangers of yielding to temptation (1 Corinthians 10:6-11).  Recommended Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:6-13 The Israelites had the opportunity to avoid sin in the wilderness, but they failed to take advantage of it. Paul warned the Corinthians to be careful: If you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall (verse 12). We, like the Israelites in the wilderness, will be tempted to sin. Also like the Israelites, God will not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able to endure ...
