And what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might

 Greatness of His power toward us who believe:

 

Ephesians 1:19-21

19     and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe. These are in accordance with the working of the strength of His might

     20     which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places,

     21     far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

     

Ephesians 2:6-7

6     and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

     7     so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

     

            It is not some little power intended for us. It’s the same power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in heavenly places … far above all creation. When He rose from the dead, so did we. When He ascended into Heaven, so did we. What tremendous power God has intended for us to experience not only one day in the future, but also in our lives today.

 

If you could hear God speak to you, I believe this is what He would say:

            "It is My power that directs you and takes care of you. It is not some little power, but My glorious power … a power so great that the grave could not hold My Son. This is the power that you have available to transform your life into that of My Son. You need not fear anything from the enemy, because he is powerless against Me and thus against you. You can trust Me to take care of you with the same power that raised My Son from the grave and seated Him at My right hand on high. You can trust My power to take care of all your needs. There is nothing too great for my power to overcome … not problem too big, no disease too strong, no pain too great for My power in your life. Trust in Me to take care of all your problems as you allow Me to have full sway in your life.”

 

            119. His surpassing great power is directed towards me … the same power that raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him in the heavenly places. When the Father raised Jesus, He also raised me with Him and seated me with Him in the heavenly places.
