God wants us all to live a life of power

SUMMARY: God wants us to live a life filled with the power of His Spirit. We cannot succeed in our personal endeavors or ministry without the Holy Spirit's energy and power. Living with the Holy Spirit's power will lead to fewer failures, more illumination from the Lord, and renewed strength. This call to live in the power of the Holy Spirit is not new and has always been present in the Old Testament. In Genesis 1, we see the Spirit of God moving over the waters, bringing creativity and order out of chaos. This teaches us that all creativity must come through the Holy Spirit in us. We need the anointing, filling, presence, and movement of the Holy Spirit in our lives and ministries to give birth to the creativity God wants to see in us.
God wants our life to be strengthened and grounded in the Power of His Spirit. God wants our actions, our efforts for the Kingdom, our ministries, our daily lives as parents, as husbands and wives, as workers or professionals, to be based on energy, on power, on the authority that only His Spirit can give.
The Word of the Lord is clear that the children of God cannot move only in our own strength or in our own intelligence but we need something that can only come from above. By ourselves we are lost. The world is too heavy and the forces that are against us are so powerful. The power of sin, the power of the world, the power of darkness is so powerful and so negative that if we try to live that fruitful and energetic life that God wants us to live by ourselves, by our own strength, by our wisdom we will never be able to do anything worthwhile in the Kingdom of God. We can never be successful in our personal endeavors, we can never have an impact on our ministry unless it is with the energy of the Holy Spirit.
