Praying For Power

My pastor preached a message last night on praying for the power. The book of Acts is a book that is drenched with God’s power. We see a small group of people that completely changed the world. Not because of their own wisdom or creativity, but because God was at work in them.

So often it feels like we pray for God to bless our ideas and plans instead of taking the time to seek Him and allow Him to fill us with his power. What would happen if God’s people would humbly begin to pray and seek Him? What if the power we see displayed in Acts was once again displayed for the market places of our world to see? What if healings began to take place at Starbucks? What if demons that had controlled and tormented some people for years were cast out? What if our walk with Christ reflected what we see in Scripture?

It’s beginning to stir my heart. It’s time to stop talking about the power of God. It’s time to draw close enough for the power of God to begin working in and through us.
