Incomparable Power

How do you define power?

Maybe the reason we do not see the incomparable great power

We want to see is because we are not connected to His Body

Every part of Jesus’ Body was committed to the work He did on earth

And every part of His Body was committed to the suffering of the cross

Our connected and commitment level to the Body of Christ is

The only thing that limits the incomparably great power of God

You cannot handle the power of God alone

Incomparable Power

How do you define power?

What is the most powerful

thing you have seen in life?

Maybe you have seen the

destructive bombs of war.

The force of a hurricane.

The muscle for a body builder.

 The rule of a world leader.

The love between a man and a woman.

Maybe fantasize power.

The power of super heroes like

Superman and Wonder Woman.

 

All you have seen and all you can image as

the most powerful thing cannot compare to…

“His incomparably great power for us who believe”

God’s incomparable great power for us who believe.

Two things describe this power…

God raised Christ from the dead.

The power to make a body that was beaten

with a whip, that ripped his flesh off His bones.

The cruel nails that held the body to a cross.

A sword that pierced the

side into the body’s organs.

 That undeniable death brought back to life.

The second incomparable great power…

God seated Christ at His right

hand in heavenly realms…

Far above all rule and authority,

power and dominion,

and every title that can be given,

not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

And God placed all things under his feet

and appointed him to be head over everything

For what?

What was the purpose of displaying this power?

Was it to rescue you and I from Hell.

NO!!! That would change nothing.

The purpose of this incomparably great power is…

For the church, which is His Body,

the fullness of Him who fills

everything in every way.

If you thought saying the sinner’s prayer

to save you from hell was the demonstration

of God’s great power, you might as

well have bought the Brooklyn Bridge. 

God’s purpose and great

power is for the CHURCH.

The description of the church is very clear.

It is His Body.

Christ may have died on the

cross but He was not dismembered.

His Body is fitted together, each

member functions with the other members…

Where Christ is the Head.

It is this united Body that is filled

with the fullness of Him in every way.

All the incomparable power is in His Body.

If that is what you bought into.

If you are united in His Body and a member

that the incomparable power works through… 

Than you will rule and reign with Him forever.

Maybe the reason we do not see the

incomparable great power we want to see is

because we are not connected to His Body.

Every part of Jesus’ Body was committed to

the work He did on earth and every part of His

Body was committed to the suffering of the cross.

Our connected and commitment level to the

Body of Christ is the only thing that limits

the incomparably great power of God.

You cannot handle the power of God alone.

Scripture Reading

Ephesians 1:15-23 NIV

15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18 I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms,

21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
