No Power Outages with God!

In my hometown, everyone is gearing up for a big winter storm with lots of ice and snow headed our way. If you have a generator, you've been warned to get it ready just in case the power goes out. Aren't we glad that God never has a power outage?! And to think that He has filled us with His power! Even if the power that runs the lights, TV and fridge goes out, God's power never goes out!

After Jesus Christ was resurrected and before he ascended into heaven, he told his disciples that he would send the "promise of the Father" and that they would be "endued [or clothed] with power from on high."

Right before Jesus Christ ascended, he told his followers:
Acts 1:8 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.
Every born again believer receives this power in the new birth. What a wonderful heavenly Father to bestow His love in such a great way! It truly is power from on high and enables us to do signs, miracles and wonders.
John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Praise God for His great grace to give us such power in the new birth! We can learn and grow in our walks with Him, manifesting this power as we believe His Word. And just think, no power outages when it comes to God's power!
