We are NOT powerless - Part 2!

I've been talking to the Lord about strengthening my boldness in praying WITH people and not just FOR them. I wrote a blog earlier in the week called "We are not powerless!" And, then, as I stood in my morning duty post at school, the Holy Spirit continued to talk with me....this is what I heard...the reason we (the Church) miss out on using the power that we have inside of us - Jesus' power - is because we lack confidence in where that power comes from. During Jesus ministry on Earth, He walked with full confidence in His Father and His Father's power to heal, deliver, and reveal the kingdom of God. Jesus was hearing His Father all the time.

At school, we teach our students to "play a movie or mental image in their mind" as they read passages that have no visuals or pictures. Using this same concept spiritually, I am asking the Lord to help me visualize Jesus WITH me (walking step by step with me every situation and person I face) everyday. There are many times that I can feel His presence around me but even in the times when I can't "feel" Jesus - He is still IN me and is still just as powerful as He was the days He walked this Earth. So...I pray, Jesus, help me to SEE you…help me see Your hands WITH mine (power flowing through them) with each person I pray WITH….and, I pray, Jesus, help me to SEE you walking side by side WITH me as I obey and accomplish every good work you have prepared for me to do.  Oh…what joy to know that the King of Kings is always with us!  What peace floods my soul!
