Jesus, the Ultimate Strength from Above ANDR LONG SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 2021
I. Strengthened by His Grace
Gods divine grace gives us strength through our many weaknesses. II Corinthians 12:8-10 Though Paul pleaded with the Lord three times, God did not remove the thorn. Instead, God supplied him grace to endure it. Without God s divine grace, we are helpless. Romans 5:6
II. Strengthened by His Spirit
In order to be strengthened by His Spirit, we first need to bow down to our Lord and surrender to His will. Ephesians 3:14-16 Once we become Christians we need to empty ourselves out so that God can pour His Spirit into to us. Ephesians 3:14-19 Spiritual strength empowers us to endure the mountain-top and valley experiences in life. Philippians 4:11-13
III. Strengthened by Faith
We are crucified with Christ, to live by faith in Christ. Galatians 2:20 A strong relationship with God requires obedience and faith. Hebrews 11:6 By faith, God can strengthen us beyond our intellectual comprehension. Hebrews 11:11
IV. The Pursuit of Power
The power we seek is not in man. Luke 8:43 The power we seek is not in money either. Mark 5:26 The power that we should seek is in Christ only. Mark 5: 27-34 We can access the power of Christ by faith and obedience. Romans 6: 16-18 The blood of Jesus Christ has the power to cleanse all sins. Acts 2:38; I John 1:7
In order to absorb the unlimited power of Jesus Christ, we must first surrender empty ourselves of inadequate solutions, self-gratification, and vain pride. Instead, allow God to fill the inner-man with peace, joy, faithfulness, and self-control through our passionate and determined pursuit of His unlimited power.
