The Same Power

I was driving home tonight and some sort of conviction/brokenness/something else happened to me and I just started crying.

I've been a failure when it comes to being a follower of Christ. Especially in the past month or two. My joy has been lost, I'm stretched beyond what is probably healthy, and my heart is just flat out tired.

I was listening to the new Hillsong album and the song He Is Lord just made the floodgates of my eyes open and I almost wrecked my car. I pulled myself together and started praying. I told God I felt like a failure and I needed Him to lift me up because my heart is so incredibly tired. I also felt such an intense oppression that I prayed against something that I didn't know was there. Something has been suppressing me lately and I'm sick of it. I told Satan to stay away from me because he is weak compared to the God I live my life for.

Later, the song The Same Power came on and it goes like The same power that conquered the grave lives in me.

We forget that idea so much. We forget the fact that we can heal people, build people up, encourage people, and raise the dead. We have the same authority that Jesus had when He walked the earth.

How many times do we utilize it?

I'm saying that my weakness is a result of how many times I tap into God's power and vice versa.

The more I tap into God's power, the more power that flows through me.

The same power that conquered the grave lives in me.
