Vernon Zook April 26, 2026
I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms. – Ephesians 1:19–20 (NLT)
The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. – Romans 8:11a (NLT)
For the word of God is alive and powerful. – Hebrews 4:12 (NLT)
All Scripture is inspired (God-Breathed) by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work. – 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NLT)
HOW IS THE POWER OF GOD USEFUL IN MY LIFE?
1. I HAVE THE POWER OVER .
Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know we will also live with him. We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now
that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus. – Romans 6:5-11 (NLT)
2. I HAVE THE POWER TO FACE ANY .
Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me. – 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)
3. I HAVE THE POWER TO CONFRONT MY .
But when I am afraid, I will put my trust in you. I praise God for what he has promised. I trust in God, so why should I be afraid? What can mere mortals do to me? – Psalm 56:3-4 (NLT)
4. I HAVE THE POWER TO DO THE .
For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him. – Philippians 2:13 (NLT)
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... – Ephesians 3:20 (NLT)
 
5. I HAVE THE POWER TO .
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and
to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. – Ephesians 3:16-19 (NLT)
6. I HAVE THE POWER TO .

Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. – Colossians 3:13 (NLT)

I can do all things through Christ, because he gives me strength. – Philippians 4:13 (NCV)
