Ephesians 1:22

And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church.

God gave Jesus authority over all things and made Him the head of the church. When Jesus died, He transferred that authority to us here on earth.  We have power as believers on the earth through Jesus Christ.  Which means our prayers can move mountains, and we are overcomers.

Ephesians 1:16,17 (Barclay)

For it is my prayer that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit to make you wise in heavenly things, and to reveal to you full knowledge of himself.

As a born-again believer, we have the Spirit inside of us.  The bible and the Spirit are the most significant resources fully available to us to change our world and the world around us.  We are not alone or powerless, but we need to have the desire to reach out with the word and take hold of the promises.  God is waiting for us because it is a partnership.

Ephesians 1:18

The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.

Revelations come to us when we have consistent and constant contact with the word of God.  Our understanding opens, and we know that God’s word is real and can be trustworthy.  We see beyond the word, and it develops into a knowing, and faith comes because we now see and understand what we couldn’t before.

Luke 10:19

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  

Sometimes we need to stand up and make some noise when the devil tries to take over in our lives.  We have the power and the authority given to us by Jesus to send the devil packing.  Don’t even let the thought enter the mind that we can’t because that is how it starts.  Caste those thoughts down and boldly proclaim the word of God.

Romans 8:16

The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.

The Holy Spirit is our advocate with God being our witness that we are children of God.  The Spirit is our inward conviction guiding us in this life and the most significant asset we can have.  The inner leading from God through the Spirit will help us through any situation if we just ask.  

Acts 4:31

And when they prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

A time is coming when we will need to speak the word of God with boldness.  We will pray and move hearts and minds to the love of Jesus and being born again.  We have been put here on this earth to help others just like we have been helped.  God gave us the Holy Spirit to provide us with the strength and show us the way.  

John 14:16

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.

Sometimes, we forget that what we have on the inside of us is more significant than anything going on the outside.  The Holy Spirit is with us always and walks through everything we do every day.  We do not walk alone, and our Helper is there with us to guide us into all wisdom.  

Luke 18:8

I tell you that he will avenge them speedily.  Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, will he find faith on the earth?

As Christians, our job is to keep our faith and prayers going no matter what it looks like outside.  We focus our attention on the word and shut off the noise of fear and unbelief.  When we turn our focus to the word, we build ourselves up in the faith.  The answer to any problem is in the word.

Mark 11:24

Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.How do we know we have the answer to our prayers?  We know that we find the scriptures that back up our prayer for healing, finances, relationships, and more in Gods’ word.  When we pray according to the word, we pray God’s will into our lives.  God hears our prayer every time

Mark 11:22

And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.

Faith is like a transformation of a butterfly from its cocoon.  It requires struggle and breaking free of the old shell and time to strengthen the wings to fly.  Not once does the butterfly question what the wings are for or whether they work.  Faith is a transformation to being fully persuaded that what looked impossible is possible with God.
