Happy Pentecost!
Yesterday’s devotion focused on handling conflict through v1-2 with humility and gentleness. Paul continues, for his world was like ours, with demonic strongholds and spiritual opposition, false ideologies that wage war against the truth of God’s Word and the real need for the transformation of people. How do we battle with those things?
“For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-4
The answer is Divine Power.
With surrendered hearts to Christ and the outpouring of the Spirit then this divine power is enough, it is all we need to wage war and see victories in our lives and those of others.
What raised Jesus from the grave? Divine Power. It is this divine power that enables us to live a new life in Christ.
What did Jesus promise the early church? Divine power. It is this divine power that enables us ordinary people to live extraordinary lives.
This divine power manifests in the spiritual gifts and the ministry we are called into.
It manifests in the refiners fire of our hearts.
When we don’t know what to pray the Spirit through divine power prays through us with groans that are too deep for words.
It manifests through salvations, healings, miracles, deliverance and also in the ordinary details of our lives.
Divine power isn’t what we create but it is what comes down to us.
So today we pray again Lord, send Divine Power,
Missions Paul
