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.

Chasing Shadows of the Past: A Railroad Adventure with Kansas City Southern's Vintage F-Series Locomotives

Photos and Story by Ken Hulsey In April 2022, I received a tip from a fellow railfan on Facebook that the Kansas City Southern Executive Train would be in Baton Rouge . To my excitement, I spotted a set of vintage FP9/F9B diesel locomotives resting on a bridge over the 110 freeway while driving toward downtown. My enthusiasm for the F-series locomotives compelled me to navigate some of Louisiana's poorly designed streets (and that’s saying something) to get close to the railyard. I made my way through what felt like a jungle that belonged somewhere in Borneo, only to climb a steep hill to reach the railyard.

Just a Thought: Designed by God | Pastor Steve Smothermon

Designed by God Psalm 139 is a profound reminder of God's intimate knowledge and omnipresence in our lives. The psalm opens with a declaration of God's deep knowledge of the individual: "O Lord, you have searched me and known me." This knowledge is not just superficial awareness, but a profound, penetrating understanding of all our ways. The psalmist acknowledges that before a word is on our tongues, God knows it completely. This reveals a God who is not distant or disinterested but is deeply engaged with the intricacies of our lives, understanding our thoughts and actions better than we understand them ourselves.
