i love
what job in the old testament said. if you want to read about pain and
suffering and mind-boggling tragedy, unbelievable tragedy read job and see that
even in this tragedy he didn’t run away from GOD. he said in 6.10 (nlt), at least i can take comfort in this:
despite the pain, i have not denied the words of the HOLY ONE.
the
words of the HOLY ONE make us a promise.
the promise is this: that you and i can experience GOD’s unlimited,
GOD’s divine, GOD’s supernatural power in our lives today and live the way HE
intended us to live and, when necessary, endure pain and hardship.
GOD
doesn’t want us to just talk about power.
HE wants us to access it. 1
corinthians 4.20 (nlt), the kingdom of
GOD is not just fancy talk. it is living
by GOD’s power.
GOD
knew that we would have this need for power that many of us would live these
powerless lives. psalm 68.35 (nlt), GOD
is awesome. HE gives power and strength
to HIS people. praise be to GOD. notice the words, HIS people.
most of
us in here on the front porch probably don’t question GOD’S power. we step outside and look at this incredible
playground that we call earth and see GOD’s power.
what
you and i question is, is GOD’s power available to me? and if so, how do i get it? those are the questions that we have.
now the
answer to the first question is yes, you can get GOD’s power. HE promised it. but before we talk about how to access it, i
want to paint a picture of good news. i
want to take a look here on the front porch at some promises that GOD says, “I’ll
give you power when…” so check
back. we’ll look at the first one
tomorrow.
just a
thought from the front porch…

Hi There, I just spent a little time reading through your posts, which I found entirely by mistake whilst researching one of my projects. Please continue to write more because it’s unusual that someone has something interesting to say about this. Will be waiting for more!
