You Have More Power Than You Think: How to Activate God’s Power in Your Life

The Wordless Book: Black - Stands For Sin In Our Lives, Red - Stands For The Blood Jesus Shed On The Cross, White - Represents Salvation Through Jesus, Gold - Represents The Kingdom Of Heaven.

What if the power you’ve been searching for is already within you, but you haven't activated it yet?

In this message, we kick off the series Power, Passion, and People with a foundational truth: God has already placed His power within every believer through the Holy Spirit. The challenge is not in receiving power; it’s in learning how to walk in it.

Many Christians are saved but still live powerless, missing out on the peace, joy, and purpose available to them. This sermon explains the difference between having the Holy Spirit in you (for salvation) and having the Holy Spirit upon you (for power and impact).

You’ll discover practical steps to activate God’s power in your life:

1. Ask for it.
2. Surrender your will.
3. Truly believe that God is in control.
4. Stay right with God and others.

This message also reminds us that God’s power is not for show; it’s for purpose. It manifests in how you respond under pressure, the peace you maintain during chaos, and your willingness to share Jesus with others.

You don’t have to live feeling empty, anxious, or stuck. The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to you—right now.

Key Takeaways

- Every believer already has access to God’s power through the Holy Spirit.
- The Holy Spirit within you is for salvation; the Holy Spirit upon you is for power.
- You activate God’s power by asking, surrendering, believing, and forgiving.
- Unforgiveness blocks your experience of God’s peace and power.
- Peace amidst chaos is evidence that God is in control.
- God’s power enables you to accomplish what you cannot do on your own.
- The purpose of God’s power is to impact others and to share Jesus.

A 30-Day Women’s Devotional on Faith, Courage, and Godly Influence

What does it really mean to be a woman of faith?

In today’s culture, women are often told their value comes from appearance, success, or approval from others. But the Bible tells a different story. Scripture shows that a woman’s greatest strength comes from her relationship with God, her character, and her willingness to trust Him with her life.

Act Like a Woman is a powerful 30-day Christian devotional for women designed to help you grow spiritually, strengthen your faith, and discover the influence God has given you.

Through daily readings, Scripture, and reflection, this devotional explores the lives of women in the Bible whose faith shaped history—women like Ruth, Deborah, Mary, Hannah, and Mary Magdalene. Their stories reveal how God works through ordinary women who are willing to trust Him with their lives.

Whether you are a mother, wife, leader, mentor, or simply a woman seeking to grow closer to God, this devotional will encourage you to walk boldly in the life He has designed for you.

Star Wars: Journal of the Whills

ANOTHER galaxy, another time. The Old Republic was the Republic of legend, greater than distance or time. No need to note where it was or whence it came, only to know that… it was the Republic. Once, under the wise rule of the Senate and the protection of the Jedi Knights, the Republic throve and grew. But as often happens when wealth and power pass beyond the admirable and attain the awesome, there appear those evil ones who have greed to match. So it was with the Republic at its height. Like the greatest of trees, able to withstand any external attack, the Republic rotted from within, though the danger was not visible from outside. Aided and abetted by restless, power-hungry individuals within the government and the massive organs of commerce, the ambitious Senator Palpatine caused himself to be elected President of the Republic. He promised to reunite the disaffected among the people and to restore the remembered glory of the Republic. Once secure in office, he declared...

When A Galaxy Far, Far Away Came To Your Town | What Was It Like To See Star Wars In 1977?

Written By Ken Hulsey A video from Looper that circulated a few years ago, rather accurately depicts just how popular and life-changing an experience seeing Star Wars back in 1977 actually was. Before I share that video, I want to share my very own experience. The first ever image that I ever saw from Star Wars appeared on a fellow classmate's school folder. It was a scene from the film that featured two Imperial Stormtroopers in combat. I didn't know anything about the movie; in fact, I didn't even know that the characters I was looking at were called Stormtroopers. In fact, I'm sure that I thought that they were supposed to be robots. It honestly didn't matter. From that one image, I knew that I had to see Star Wars. Those two Imperial Troopers were the coolest thing my ten-year-old eyes had ever seen!

Unlocking the Depths of Morrissey's 'Your Arsenal': A Journey Through Sound and Lyricism

Morrissey's 'Your Arsenal': A Transformative Album for the 1990s Released in 1992, Morrissey's third solo studio album, Your Arsenal, stands as a landmark recording in the alternative rock landscape of the early ‘90s. For many fans, including myself, it was a gateway to understanding Morrissey not just as a former frontman of The Smiths, but as a solo artist ready to explore new musical territories. After moving from New Mexico to California, I first stumbled upon the captivating sounds of Your Arsenal while tuning in to KROQ, one of the most influential alternative radio stations of the time.

Star Wars: Mark Hamill - Hollywood Foreign Press Association Interview

Mark Hamill Talks About His Experience Making Star Wars From a press conference of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association – By Yani Begakus Mark Hamill – With all the merchandising that’s going on, I really wish they would publish the original screenplay for STAR WARS. It is so thick with ideas – more descriptions and more of everything than was in the movie. There just wasn’t time to get it all in. Yes, it is very simple, and people say there is no storyline – just bad guys chasing you because you have something they want. On one level, that’s true; on another level…you know, even though I am ostensibly the hero, George Lucas has given me a menagerie of supporting creatures – animal, vegetable, and mineral – and everybody’s working together. Men working with machines, working with rodents, working with whatever…I think it’s terrific.

In this powerful and deeply personal testimony, I share the moment that changed everything—from a kid who didn’t even want to be in church… to stepping into the calling God had on my life.
