RELEASE THE POWER FROM WITHIN
📖 “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63).
As a new creation, you don’t need another power or a special charge from outside. All the power you require is already in you. When you received the Holy Spirit, you received limitless, supernatural power to effect changes. This power, according to James 5:16 AMPC, is dynamic in its operation. What God wants is that you frequently release that power from within you.
Years ago, while preparing for a major camp meeting, I recall praying to the Lord for a fresh “turbo charge.” But the Lord spoke to my spirit and said, “What you need is the release of what you already have inside you.” Then, I asked, “Lord, how do I release it?” And He said, “It’s an act of your faith.” Immediately, I caught it.
That night, as I ministered the Word, I perceived the power of God flowing out of me like a river. Suddenly, a visible cloud, like smoke, rose from the concrete floor. This wasn’t the effect of an artificial smoke machine; the glory of God filled the place. People shouted as the cloud moved over them. The sick were healed everywhere in the arena. Glory to God!
Here’s the point: that power didn’t come from heaven into the room. It came from within me. The Lord Jesus said, “He that believeth on me…out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water” (John 7:38). He spoke of the Holy Spirit who would be given to those who believe in Him. The same Spirit is in you today.
The words that you speak are Spirit-filled words; they’re full of power. They carry life and produce healing, deliverance, and miracles. Don’t wait for something to come from outside. Release the power from within you through faith-filled words. Speak life. Speak healing. Speak salvation. Let the rivers of living water within you flow and transform the lives of those around you.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your supernatural power at work in me; your grace and glory flow from within me to bless, heal, strengthen, and lift others. I function in your wisdom and ability today, transforming lives everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
