That's the Power

The power of pain inside of our life can make it difficult to feel the freedom of forgiveness. Pain can drag us down. Hurt can fester. And we may carry it for more years than we can count. It almost becomes second nature to us. The pain and hurt just seem to blend in with who we are. Why is that though? The intent of Eden was to be free from the power of pain. Why do we still have to struggle today? It could be that we try to manage on our own. That our problems are too insignificant to ask for help… At times we even limit the power that God has in our lives… We may know God, but there are also times that we forget who God is… The writer of Psalm 68 writes this:
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens. Our God is a God who saves; from the Sovereign Lord comes escape from death (Psalm 68: 19-20).
Our God is a powerful God, who daily wants to carry what we struggle with… He is our escape, our refuge, and indeed our strength. Hillsong wrote on song in 2021 that reads:
'Cause that's the power of Your Name. And just a mention makes a way. Giants fall and strongholds break and there is healing… And that's the power that I claim. It's the same that rolled the grave and there's no power like the mighty Name of Jesus.
At the name of Jesus, we have a way through the wilderness… A light in the darkness… and a path through the pain….If we look harder through the things that weigh us down we see [Him] taking ground. Oh, [we] see [Him] press ahead and [His] power is dangerous to the enemy's camp. The psalmist goes on to write, Summon your power, God; show us your strength, our God, as you have done before (Psalm 68:28).
The power of God is still very present with us. Making a way where there was no way. Whether the pain has been there a little while or a long time, we can still call on the name of Jesus Christ.
Do you believe that today? That at the name of Jesus we want to see Your Spirit breaking out. Your kingdom moving in. Because we know that Your victory claims the ground that the enemy had.
