TODAY’S SCRIPTURE

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him.
Ephesians 1:19, NLT

POWER OF BELIEVING
One of the greatest abilities God has given each of us is our ability to believe. The apostle Paul prayed that we would understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe. Notice the power is activated only when we believe. That means right now the Creator of the universe is just waiting to release healing, restoration, favor, promotion, and abundance. The only catch is that we have to believe.

It’s not complicated. God didn’t say, “If you will pray three hours a day, I’ll do it for you.” No, He said, “If you believe.” If you believe, you can be successful. If you believe, you can overcome mistakes of the past. If you believe, you can fulfill your God-given destiny. When you believe, you have the Almighty God fighting your battles, arranging things in your favor, going before you, moving the wrong people out of the way. You couldn’t have made it happen in your own strength, but because you are a believer, the surpassing greatness of God’s power is at work in your life.

A PRAYER FOR TODAY
“Father, thank You for the incredible greatness of Your power that I can activate by faith. When You put a promise in my heart that seems impossible, I want to learn to respond with three simple words, ‘Lord, I believe.’ I believe and declare that I am going to see Your goodness in amazing ways. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

SECTION TWO:

I encourage you to take some time each day to get the revelation of your righteousness in Christ deep into your spirit. Meditate on it and declare it every day. It will put courage in your heart and bring an unshakable peace to your soul. It will energize your faith when you pray and give you a confident expectation to receive good things from your heavenly Father.

I believe that’s why our heavenly Father, in knowing the things that we need daily, tells us not to worry about them. What are we supposed to do then? We are to seek first “His [Jesus’] righteousness”—the righteousness that He has given us—and all the things that we need will be added to us.

Beloved, when you know that your right standing with God always puts Him on your side, every fear will melt away like butter on a hot day. For if God is for you, who or what can successfully prevail against you (Rom. 8:31)?
