How God Will Use Us

“That He would grant unto you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith, that ye being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with the fullness of God. Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” Ephesians 3:16-20

“Strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness.” Colossians 1:11

Through Christ and with His anointed mind we live with the power of the knowledge of the Truth, and the Truth is this, it is God’s will that we should preach the Gospel in the power and demonstration of His Spirit. And with the wisdom of the Truth that we have been strengthened with all might according to God’s glorious power, and in the Truth that we have been filled and strengthened with the fullness of God, let’s study some scriptural examples of God loving others through us in action and in deed.

“And Peter fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, look at us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the hand, and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the Temple, walking and leaping, and praising God.” Acts 3:4-8

God used Peter and John to command this man to be whole. Just as God used Jesus to command Lazarus to live, the storm to stop, the water to be wine, the food to multiply, and the fish to cough up tax money! Faith comes by hearing the Truth that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. And if this is how He worked in times past, this is how He works today, and this is how He will work tomorrow! We are blessed and are a blessing in the power of God’s might!
