Paul tells us that every follower of Jesus has access to actual power. He said in Ephesians chapter 3 verse 20, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”

     Everything begins and ends with Jesus. He is the one who provides us with the will and fortitude to face life’s challenges. Jesus was able to endure everything He faced while on this Earth. Therefore, He has given us the ability to do the same. We are reminded in Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. Jesus has said in His Word that He can do even more for us than we think. Therefore, believe Him when you feel like you can no longer go on because the fight is too hard, or you are carrying all of your burdens. We cannot tie Jesus’ hands because of our lack of faith. Jesus’ power is unlimited. In 2 Peter 1:3 we are reminded, “His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”

     Last but not least, according to 2 Timothy 1:7, God has not given us a spirit of fear. We have been given a mighty warrior that dwells inside each of us. Keep in mind that the reason why you and I have this authority, this power, is not because of our goodness, but simply because of Jesus.  “The Power Within Me” is a result of Jesus’ sacrifice, which is the amazing Holy Spirit.
