“We Are Empowered To Be Successful”

Luke 10:19-20

Empowered is defined as to give power or authority to; strength; influence.

We can trust that God will never abandon us in bad times, and that we’ll always have help and deliverance when we need it. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, be fruitful and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth”. It is already done. God has blessed us from the foundation of the earth. Be fruitful. When we’re at our weakest point, we can truly appreciate how God empowers us. Through Him, we have the ability not only to withstand but to succeed. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He overcame Satan by speaking the word of God. Jesus was physically weak after fasting for forty days, yet the power of what He said was undeniable. We can effectively resist adversity by following the same example. Our own words may be inadequate, but deliberately speaking God’s word gives us access to the same authority that Jesus possessed. “Then the Lord reached out and touched my mouth and said, ‘Look, I have put my words in your mouth! Today I appoint you to stand up against nations and kingdoms. Some of you must uproot and tear down, destroy and overthrow. Others you must build up and plant.

I come by tonight to let you know we no longer have to struggle with issues and be defeated by them. Instead, we can rely on an infinite source of strength. We can do all things through Christ which strengthen us. We are empowered to be successful. Be blessed and I love you!!! JE
