And be not
drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to
yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody
in your heart to the Lord… (Ephesians 5:18-20).
Activating
the power of God and getting yourself stirred in the Holy Ghost is important
for every Christian. Acts 1:8 says, “But ye shall receive power, after that the
Holy Ghost is come upon you…” ; meaning that everyone who’s born again and has
received the Holy Spirit has received power. Though the power is in you, it may
not be active on its own.
The one who
wants to receive from God must activate the power of God for himself or herself
through faith. Paul told Timothy to stir up the gift of God in him (2 Timothy
1:6), he was referring to the power of the Holy Spirit, which can be dormant in
your spirit unless you activate it.
You’re
responsible for activating His power in you. When you pray in tongues, you stir
up that power. Another way to experience the release of the power of God in
your life is by declaring God’s Word. For example, when you declare, “I can do
all things through Christ which strengthens me”; “I’m the righteousness of God
in Christ Jesus”; “The Lord is the strength of my life”; it won’t be long
before you’re filled with the Spirit.
You can
turn the power on whenever you choose—wherever you are—by speaking in tongues,
and declaring the Word with boldness. Stir up that power right now; declare the
Word with faith, speaking in tongues as well. Before long, your spirit will be
activated and the glory of God will be revealed through you.
CONFESSION:
The Lord is my light and my salvation; He’s the strength of my life! He’s with
me like a mighty One; therefore, no weapon fashioned against me prospers. The
lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; I have a goodly heritage. I go out
with joy and I’m led forth with peace; my steps are ordered of the Lord. Joy,
health, peace, prosperity and the good life are my heritage in Christ! Blessed
be the Lord forever!
