Explosive Power

 Transcript

Welcome to this new atmosphere of receptivity where we can easily receive His grace, help, and protection in our lives. There are some atmospheres that do not conduct the grace of God but we are in an atmosphere where we hear the word of God, increase in our faith, and are able to receive from God. We are the channel that God uses to overflow His grace to others. There may be times when we feel that this grace is not working for us when we look at our circumstances.   

Philippians 4:12-13, it says “I know what it means to lack, and I know what it means to experience overwhelming abundance. For I’m trained in the secret of overcoming all things, whether in fullness or in hunger. And I find that the strength of Christ’s explosive power infuses me to conquer every difficulty”. Apostle Paul says that there were times when he had a lack. It can be a lack of physical resources, emotional resources, or church related resources. He also experienced overwhelming abundance. He had learned to experience the grace of God, the revelations of God, and had also tapped into the heart of God and knew how to overcome all things; like things that would hurt him when he had lacked and things that could hurt him when he had abundance. He had learned the secret of overcoming all things. So even when the grace that is supposed to be helping us looks like it’s not working for us, we can look at this example from Paul and say that we can also overcome it as Paul did.   

From Apostle Paul’s testimony, we learn that there is a strength that Jesus Christ gives that is explosive; there is nothing else like it. This power provides, defeats, and surpasses all things. Paul was able to conquer every difficulty because of this power. This grace helps when we are weak or lacking but this doesn’t mean that we won’t have any difficulties, but that His power is at work in us. His power will help overcome every challenge that the enemy brings. It is easy to put the blame on God and say that God didn’t help me or to blame others that they didn’t help. The Bible says that God is going to infuse us with strength, power, ability, talents, solutions, and answers. We will be the problem solvers. The answer is in God’s hands. And since we are carriers of this grace, the answer is in our hands. We are the carriers of Christ’s explosive power.
