Our being faithful and available in our relationship with our Creator opens up unlimited resources. Jesus made this amazing promise: “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father,” (John 14:12).
The point is that Jesus is now at the right hand of the Father “interceding for us” (Rom. 8:34) so that as we pray in his name according to his will, we know that he hears us and will answer (1 John 5:14-15). And here’s the kicker; there is a built-in safety factor. Even when we don’t know what to say or how to say it, the Holy Spirit “himself intercedes for us through wordless groans,” (Rom. 8:26).
Just go to him “with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good…” (Ps. 100:4-5). Yes, that’s right, we need to have our own revival, our minds filled with his Word and our hearts yielded to his will, all covered with praise!
Our potential is not about ability or giftedness but it’s about relationship — our relationship with God. So just trust him and pray. He will lead in the direction we need to go. He will open the doors that need to be opened. And he will bless our efforts in Jesus’ name!
What else needs to be said? Oh yes…
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power,” (Eph. 6:10).
