According
to the power that acts in you!
By Riqui Ricón*
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, Unto
him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without
end. Amen. (Eph 3.20-21)
The
Bible, which is God’s Word and doesn’t lie, says that, thanks to Jesus Christ,
THERE ALREADY IS a Power acting upon you and states that it is according to
that power that God can do all things MUCH MORE ABUNDANTLY than what you ask
or, even, understand. Amazing!
Let’s see
how this Power that acts in you is intimately tied to the New Pact in Jesus’
Blood.
Behold, the days come, saith the Lord,
that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of
Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the
day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which
my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the Lord: But this
shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those
days, saith the Lord, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their
hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall
teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know
the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the
greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin
no more. (Jer 31.31-34)
With the
New Pact, God promised to make a total change in your carnal nature, for only
like this He would set His Law in your mind and write in your heart. With Jesus’
Blood, God paid ALL your sins, forgave all your wickedness and decided to no
longer remember your sins.
And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to
walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. (Ez 36.27)
Now, you
are God’s Child, Born Again and the glorious Holy Spirit lives in you and with
you.
The power
that acts in you is God’s Word and the Holy Spirit is the promise God made by
declaring He would make a better pact established upon better promises. With
the power of His Word and the Presence of the Holy Spirit in your life, God
made sure there won’t even be the slightest chance to invalidate the New Pact,
for He Himself , the Holy Spirit, would be in you and with you as a deposit,
the guaranty that He offers the New Pact and it will never be annulated, on the
contrary, it will be fulfilled and you will receive ALL that was promised.
And, being assembled together with them, commanded
them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of
the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. But ye shall receive power,
after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me
both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost
part of the earth.( Act 1.4,8)
God’s Power and the Holy Spirit work together for your bennefirt, in you
and with you, so you can be a good witness of the Gospel.
And Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the
Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. And the people with one accord
gave heed unto those things which Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles
which he did. (Act 7.22, 8.6)
Jesus is the mediator of this better Pact!
In
whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy
Spirit of promise, Which is the earnest of our
inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise
of his glory. (Eph 1.13-14)
You have been sealed with the Holy Spirit of the Promise!
Can you see? This is the amazing plan of God’s grace! Since you were
dead in your crimes and sins and with no chance whatsoever to reconcile with
God (because the old sinful nature that was in you always rebels against God
and has never obeyed God’s law and it won’t ever be able to do it), then God,
For
what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending
his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the
flesh: That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Ro 8.3-4)
So, knowing God’s commandments does not take you away from the claws of
sin, because you cannot keep the law and you never will. But God, because of
the great Love He feels for you, enforced a different plan. He sent His own
Son, Jesus, in a human body just like you in all ways, except He wasn’t a
sinner, and by giving Him in sacrifice for your sins, He destroyed the domain
sin had upon you.
Therefore, if you let yourself be driven by the Holy Spirit and deny
obedience to the old sinful nature that was in you, then you can obey God’s
law.
God’s Plan, through the New Nature that the New Birth gives you, is the
Perfect and Infallible Plan guaranteed by the Holy Spirit.
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth
derives its name. I pray that out of his
glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in
your inner being, so that Christ may dwell
in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy
people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that
you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Eph
3.14-19 NIV)
Knowing this
Word and believing this Word is only possible through the Holy Spirit that is
in you and with you. To know this Word and believe this Word is to know Jesus
Christ’s Love, which exceeds all knowledge; is to believe and manifest that
Power that allows you to be filled with God’s plentitude to Live a Plentiful
and Abundant Life.
For
God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be
saved. (Joh 3.16-17)
God’s
Love for you is such that He preferred to give up His own Son, to pay all your
sins, before losing you. Besides, as if this weren’t enough, He placed His Holy
Spirit inside you to guaranty you can live a life filled with power and
victory.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (3 Joh 1.2)
It’s God
plentitude living inside you the one that says and assures you today:
Fear
thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen
thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my
righteousness. Behold, all they that were incensed
against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and
they that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek
them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that
war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought. For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee,
Fear not; I will help thee. (Isa 41.10-13)
Sólo
necesitas creer, creerle a Dios, creerle a Su Palabra, pues al que cree todo le
es posible.
The New
Pact and your New Nature obtained through your New Birth by acknowledging and
making Jesus Christ your Lord, King and Savior, is not something you have or
can get by your own merits; it is something that He promises in His Word and
that by no means he will stop fulfilling.
According
to the power that acts in you!
Lets pray
out loud:
Dear
heavenly Father, the more I know you, the more I read and meditate in Your
Word, the Bible, the more I wonder and amaze on Your Great Love with which You
have loved me. Thank You for having ordained a New Pact in the Blood of Your
Son, Jesus Christ. Thank You, Lord Jesus, because with your death you paid all
my sins and made me just. Thank You, Father, for having forgiven me and not
remembering my sins anymore. Thank You, Lord Jesus, because by resurrecting
between the death you established Yourself as God’s First Child, Born Again,
showing the path and destined kept for me. Thank you because with Your Blood
you sealed the New Pact and now I have a New Hope through my New Birth. Because
You now live in me I have Eternal Life, New Life, Plentiful and Abundant Life.
Thank you because I have received the adoption of the Son(Daughter) according
to the pure affection of Your Will. I am not lost or finished! No! None of
that! I am a loved Child of the True and Living God! The Almighty is my Father!
By the Blood of the Lamb! By the New Pact! You, Holy Spirit, creator of heaven
and earth, of all the visible and the invisible, You are in me and with me.
Thank You for so much Love! I am extremely powerful to love you with all my
strength, mind and heart, as well as for loving my neighbor as much as I love
myself. Therefore, I resist the spirit of fear and disbelief; I resist death,
disease, poverty, sadness, depression, loneliness, bitterness, disappointment
and sin. I am healthy; I am free; I am prosperous; I call upon my life Love,
joy and peace that exceeds all knowledge. I believe, call and receive the
plentiful, good and abundant life as my legitimate right and heritage in Jesus
Christ. Amen.
Note of importance:
How do I become a Child of God? How do I establish my
relationship with the Almighty?
Simply say this prayer, placing all of your attention
and heart into what you’re saying to God:
Lord Jesus, I believe that you are the Son of God.
That you came to this world from the Virgen Mary to pay for all of my sins, and
I have been a sinner. This is why today I tell you, I accept. I accept your
sacrifice on the cross! Yes, I accept Your precious Blood, spilled to the very
last drop, out of love for me! I open my heart to you and invite you in,
because I want you, oh Lord Jesus, to be my one and only Savior, my God, my
King, my Lord. Thank you, God Almighty, for with this simple prayer and
declaration of faith I have come from death to Life, I have been displaced from
the shadows and into Your marvelous Light. Today I have been Reborn! God I am
now Your Child! You are now my Father! I will never again be alone! Never again
will I live defeated. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
