Today's Passage - Ephesians 3:20-21

River of Life Christian Church ︳www.rolcc.net/english Ephesians 3:20-21   "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."   God can and is willing to work among us.  Today, He can still install spiritual dreams and lively faith into our hearts.  Don't be deceived by the authority of dark world into having fear in your heart.  Our God is still sitting on the throne, and His power can still breakthrough darkness and move deep inside our heart!   Go can accomplish things for us.  Not only can He prompt us in our heart, but He can only accomplish what He started.  2 Timothy 1:12 says: "...because I know whom I have believed, and am convinced that he is able to guard what I have entrusted to him for that day."  Since we belong to God, we need to bring our needs before God, and believe that it's much better to leave it to God rather than holding onto things in our own hands.  The Bible tells us that God makes covenant with us.  The meaning of a covenant is to unite and bind.  We need to come before God and make covenant with Him.  God will love us with His eternal love, so we should love God wholeheartedly.  We need to bring our life and our family before God and to live for Him.  Just like what Joshua 24:15 says, "But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD."  As soon as we have a covenant with God, the covenant becomes a guarantee, and God will keep this covenant and let His zeal accomplish great things.   Not only can God accomplish things, He will "do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us..."  God will accomplish everything through the Holy Spirit, but you must let the Holy Spirit work within you and let Him work!  Don't hold on to your wound and self-esteem and tell God "don't bother me."  Actually, Holy Spirit is already residing inside you, so let Him work in you; the Lord's life is already inside you, so let Him flow!  No matter how tough you look and how much you demand yourself, one day you will come before God and say "Lord, there's nothing I can do, I welcome you to come and work!"  At first, you may not feel the different to let go and let God work, but when you are willing to let go, you will discover that you will start to praise from inside and the Lord's life will begin to flow from you.  Wounds no longer bind you and you are filled with endless joy that you never had before.  God is real, so let us experience Him!                                                                                   Pray with Pastor Tong           Lord, I thank you because your promises are so precious.  You can accomplish whatever you promise, and you will accomplish far more than what we can imagine.  When we bring all our needs before you in prayer, we sincerely believe that you can accomplish everything.  I thank you and I pray in the victorious name of Jesus, amen!
