Seeing Beyond, Believing, and Acting in God’s Power
Have you ever paused and considered the power of simply lifting your eyes and looking beyond where you are? That’s the invitation found in Genesis 13:14—an invitation to envision the future God has for you. It’s not about where you are now but about where He wants to take you. To start that journey, let faith be your compass. Use your imagination as the lens to see His promises unfold.
Seeing with Your Mind’s Eye
Faith always begins where you are, no matter how uncertain or challenging things are. When you choose to believe and keep seeing with your mind’s eye, you start something powerful. You tap into the promise God has given you. Psalm 1 reminds us that delighting in the Lord and meditating on His word helps us flourish. We become like trees planted by streams. We are fruitful.
Seeing is not just about your natural eyes; it’s about the imagination God sanctifies and uses. Imagine a sanctuary in your mind, a holy space where God plants His vision. Isaiah 26:3 speaks of perfect peace for those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in Him. This peace frames the conception of God’s plans in your life.
Faith in Action
Faith isn’t passive; it’s empowered by action. Acts 10:38 shows us Jesus going about doing good, healing the oppressed, and destroying the works of the evil one. He empowered others through the Spirit, and that same Spirit works in you. Think of yourself as a conduit of His blessings, wherever you go. You’re not just called to believe—you’re called to distribute His power.
When you live in faith, it’s like clearing the clog in a fuel injector. Without faith, hope, and love, the flow of God’s power can feel blocked. But when you allow these elements to work together, miracles happen. As Ecclesiastes 12 reminds us, a cord of three strands is not easily broken.
Hope, Love, and the Flow of Power
Hope isn’t just wishful thinking; it’s a confident expectation that God will move. When you carry hope, you create an environment where miracles can take root. Love, as Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 13, is the greatest commandment. It’s the foundation through which God’s power flows.
If you find yourself doubting or feeling clogged by past disappointments, remember to reset. Confess your doubts, ask for forgiveness, and let the Spirit renew your heart. Reignite your hope and choose to love, even when it’s difficult.
God’s Power in You
Acts 1:8 reminds us that the Holy Spirit empowers you to be His witness. When you stay connected to God, you’re positioned in victory. You carry His power, not because of anything you’ve done, but because of His goodness working through you.
Imagine you’re a distributor of God’s power. He’s the source, and you’re the vessel. The more you align yourself with Him, the more you’ll see His power flow through every aspect of your life. You will experience healing. You will witness deliverance and transformation.
Living in Overflow
Luke 24 encourages us to tarry, to wait in a position of peace. Prayer becomes the vehicle through which God releases His overflow in your life. Whether you’re praying for healing, deliverance, or clarity, trust that His Spirit will guide you.
Just like the lame man in Acts 3, who expected something from Peter and John, your expectation creates the atmosphere. This atmosphere allows God to move. When Peter said, “Look at us,” he invited the man to hope. That hope led to faith, and faith released the power that healed him.
A Final Word of Encouragement
You have an incredible connection with God. His power works in you and through you. Seek Him continually. Meditate on His word. Act in faith. You’ll see His kingdom manifest in your life.
This week, let your heart be filled with joyful expectation. Let God cleanse your imagination and fill it with His desires. Declare His promises over your life and believe that He’s working in ways you can’t yet see. You are His ambassador, His conduit, His child. Walk boldly in that truth. Watch as His power transforms your life. It will also transform the lives of those around you. God bless!
