You Are Powerful

 I want to tell you something that you may not know. You are powerful. You are strong and have power in you.

The Holy Spirit lives in you; Christ lives in you and gives you power and strength.

Isaiah 41:10 says, " So do not fear for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

It says it right there in the bible God will give you strength. 

there is also Philippians 4:13 that says, " I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

You are strong and have power through our Lord. 

2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God has not given us the spirit of fear but power, love, and a sound mind."

I am trying to tell you that we all have power; I know it is hard to believe it at times because life can be challenging. 

You may have been put down, you may have been counted out, and you may find it hard to believe it, but you are strong and powerful because of Christ. 

I saw this message on youtube by Tony Evans about elephants in the circus 

In the circus, the elephants have one leg chained by a little peg in the ground, but the elephants don't move or run.

Why? The elephants can rip that small peg out of the ground at any moment,  

All the elephant has to do is pull the chained leg, and the little peg would come out of the ground, freeing the elephant, but the elephant doesn't move.

The reason the elephants don't move is very simple the elephants are unaware of their power.

When the elephants are little babies, the chain would be able to hold them, keeping them from moving.

But as an adult elephant, that chain won't keep them from moving; their mindset keeps them from being free.

The elephants have the power, but since the elephant was young, it was taught that when the chain is on, it has no power and can't move.

I heard that elephants are afraid of ants. 

An elephant is bigger and stronger than ants, but elephants are afraid of ants.

Imagine that the things that are holding you back, the things that you are afraid of, are afraid of you, are more powerful than those things.

Like the elephants, you are powerful because God gave you strength and power.

Don't let problems hold you back; pull your leg, exert your power, and be free from the chained peg.

Don't fear anything because you have the Lord on your side. God loves you and wants you to live a happy, wonderful, fulfilled life; God wants you to enjoy life in abundance to the full, in overflow.

John 10:10 amplified version says The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].

Don't let anything stop you from your dreams 

You are powerful

Don't give up on yourself, your life, your dream, hopes, or desires

You have the power to do anything you put your mind to

I heard this story about a farmer and a donkey; one day, the farmer and donkey were walking, and the donkey fell into a hole,

the farmer didn't know how to get the donkey out of the hole, so the farmer thought to bury the donkey alive

The farmer got his friends, and they started to bury the donkey alive

The donkey at first cried and felt sorry for himself, but the donkey did something remarkable every time the dirt fell down on the donkey's back, he would shake the dirt off and step up

As the farmer's friends continued to shovel dirt on the donkey, he would shake it off and step up

Soon the donkey was at the top of the hole and free to run off

what did the donkey do?

The donkey could have thought that is it,

there is nothing I can do now

NO! The donkey didn't give up

He knew he still had the power to be free 

Don't let your past or a wrong mindset destroy your future or keep you stuck, fearful of things that should fear you.

That is what the elephants did. 

You have power, so be like the donkey and know you can break free of the hole, break free of the peg chained to the ground. 

Nothing too hard for God 

With God, all things are possible 

You can do anything with his help

Let me pray for you

Father God,

Father God, I pray that they know you in a special way

bless them, be with them and let them come to you

I pray that the person reading this will feel your love, Lord 

Amen
