					<description><![CDATA[<p>God created everything out of His power. But He never stopped demonstrating His power for and through us. He is able to do more than we can ask or think to ask.</p>
<p>The post <a href="https://livethrujesus.com/do-you-really-believe-in-the-power-of-god/">Do You Really Believe in the Power of God?</a> first appeared on <a href="https://livethrujesus.com">Biblical Teaching</a>.</p>]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="">To Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly&nbsp;above all that we ask or think,&nbsp;according to the power that works in us.</p>
<cite>Ephesians 3:20</cite></blockquote>



<p class="">We know He can do things that we can&#8217;t. But how does He demonstrate that power, and do we act like we believe He can do miraculous things? </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Creation</h2>



<p class="">He <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Job%2038&amp;version=NKJV" title="Job 38-39">created</a> the whole world, set the laws of nature in motion, made each type of animal different from every other, and made each of us uniquely. This in itself is amazing power! </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="">God stretches out the north over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing. He binds up the water in His thick clouds, yet the clouds are not broken under it. He covers the face of His throne, and spreads His cloud over it. God drew a circular horizon on the face of the waters, ant the boundary of light and darkness. </p>



<p class="">The pillars of heaven tremble, and are astonished at His rebuke. He stirs up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He breaks up the storm. By His Spirit He adorned the heavens. His hand pierced the fleeing serpent. Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways, and how small a whisper we hear of Him. But the thunder of His power, who can understand?</p>
<cite>Job 26:7-14</cite></blockquote>



<p class="">Obviously no man can create <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews+11%3A3&amp;version=NKJV" title="Hebrews 11:3">something from nothing. </a></p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="">By the word of the Lord the heavens were made and all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deep in storehouses. </p>
<cite>Psalm 33:6-7</cite></blockquote>



<p class="">But, also, how could we even think of creating such things without a reference? It&#8217;s quite remarkable that He thought to make everything He did, much less that He had the power to do it. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="">God has made the earth by His power. He has established the world by His wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens at His discretion. When He utters His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens.</p>
<cite>Jeremiah 10:12</cite></blockquote>



<p class="">But God didn&#8217;t stop showing His power after creation.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">The Israelites</h2>



<p class="">He demonstrated His power over the enemy in <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+3-12&amp;version=NKJV" title="Exodus 3-12">Egypt</a> and in the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua+6-12&amp;version=NKJV" title="Joshua 6-12">Promised Land</a>, making His people victorious. He parted the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus%2014&amp;version=NKJV" title="Exodus 14">Red Sea</a> and the<a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Joshua%203&amp;version=NKJV" title="Joshua 3"> Jordan River </a>so they could walk across on dry ground. </p>



<p class="">God fought for Israel by sending <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=joshua+10%3A11&amp;version=NKJV" title="Joshua 10:11">hailstones</a> to kill their enemies, killing more than they did with their swords. He <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=joshua+10%3A12-14&amp;version=NKJV" title="Joshua 10:12-14">stopped the sun</a> for Joshua so they would have time to finish their battle. </p>



<p class="">He gave Samson superhuman strength through the length of his hair. Then, even after he lost his strength by telling his secret to the wrong woman, God had mercy on him and gave it back to him one last time. Ultimately, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Judges%2016&amp;version=NKJV" title="Judges 16">Samson </a>killed their enemies by relying on God&#8217;s power to work through him.</p>



<p class="">Elijah asked the Lord to <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+17%3A1&amp;version=NKJV" title="1 Kings 17:1">withhold the rain</a> until he called for it, and God dried up the heavens for him. He even <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+17%3A2-7&amp;version=NKJV" title="1 Kings 17:2-7">summoned a raven</a> to feed him until the brook dried up where he&#8217;d been getting water. Then, the Lord sent him to the home of a <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+17%3A8-16&amp;version=NKJV" title="1 Kings 17:8-16">widow</a> who fed him. By God&#8217;s power, her flour bin wasn&#8217;t used up and her oil jar never ran dry. When her son died, God gave Elijah the power to bring him <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+17%3A17-24&amp;version=NKJV" title="1 Kings 17:17-24">back to life.</a> After three years, the prophets called on Baal for rain, yet none came. But when Elijah called on the Lord to send fire to burn up the sacrifices, and then for the rain, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+18&amp;version=NKJV" title="1 Kings 18">God sent both.</a></p>



<p class="">God <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Kings+2%3A1-15&amp;version=NKJV" title="2 Kings 2:1-15">took Elijah </a>to heaven in a chariot of fire, and his successor <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+Kings+4-8&amp;version=NKJV" title="2 Kings 4-8">Elisha, </a>also performed many miracles by the power of the Lord.</p>



<p class="">God rescued <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Samuel%2017&amp;version=NKJV" title="1 Samuel 17">David</a> from the giant, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jonah+1-4&amp;version=NKJV" title="Jonah 1-4">Jonah</a> from the belly of a great fish, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%206&amp;version=NKJV" title="Daniel 6">Daniel </a>from the lions&#8217; den, and <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel%203&amp;version=NKJV" title="Daniel 3">his friends</a> from the fiery furnace. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Jesus</h2>



<p class="">Through the power of the Father, the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke+1%3A26-38&amp;version=NKJV" title="Luke 1:26-38">Son was conceived</a>. He <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+4%3A23-24&amp;version=NKJV" title="Matthew 4:23-24">healed </a>the sick, the demon-possessed, and the disabled. Jesus also <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+14%3A13-21&amp;version=NKJV" title="Matthew 14:13-21">fed five thousand </a>men with just a loaf of bread and two fish. He <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+14%3A22-33&amp;version=NKJV" title="Matthew 14:22-33">walked on water</a> and gave Peter the power to walk on it, too. Jesus also had the power to still the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+4%3A35-41&amp;version=NKJV" title="Mark 4:35-39">wind and the waves</a> and turn <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john+2%3A1-12&amp;version=NKJV" title="John 2:1-12">water into wine.</a> He rose people <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%2011%3A5&amp;version=NKJV" title="Matthew 11:5">from the dead</a>, even <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2020&amp;version=NKJV" title="John 20">Himself.</a> After His resurrection, He <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+1%3A4-11&amp;version=NKJV" title="Acts 1:4-11">ascended</a> to sit at the right hand of the Father. The Lord has power over <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+corinthians+15%3A54-57&amp;version=NKJV" title="1 Corinthians 15:54-57">sin and death.</a> He has the power to <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%209%3A6&amp;version=NKJV" title="Matthew 9:6">forgive </a>and <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Peter+1%3A3-5&amp;version=NKJV" title="1 Peter 1:3-5">save. </a></p>



<p class="">After Jesus died, He sent the <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+14%3A16-17%2C+26%3B+16%3A5-13&amp;version=NKJV" title="John 14:16-17, 26; 16:5-13">Holy Spirit</a> to dwell with us. Through Him, <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Acts+1%3A8&amp;version=NKJV" title="Acts 1:8">we have power</a>, too. When we fight with His <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+6%3A10-18&amp;version=NKJV" title="Ephesians 6:10-18">weapons,</a> we have His power. Also, when we rely on His power in hard times, He will help us make it through.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="">I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.</p>
<cite>Philippians 4:13</cite></blockquote>



<p class="">There is also power in His name, so we can ask for miracles in His name, and He can still perform them. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="">He who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also&#8230; Whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.</p>
<cite>John 14:12-14</cite></blockquote>



<p class="">Now, that doesn&#8217;t mean we can just attach His name to any ol&#8217; prayer, and He will grant it. Think of it more like an endorsement. If He would sign your name to the end of the request, then it will be given. We can&#8217;t misuse the power of His name to get whatever we want. It needs to be within His will, too. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center">Believe in His Power</h2>



<p class="">Now that you see all the things God has done through His people and everything He can do for and through you, believe Him. Trust in His power for everything you need. He will help you, protect you, equip you, provide for you, and most importantly, He will save you. Place your faith in Him in everything. Ask Him for things big and small, then watch His powerful hand at work.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="">His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.</p>
<cite>2 Peter 2-4</cite></blockquote>
