God’s eyes are searching for a people that want to be a part of the demonstration of the Power of God.
Jesus wants us to meditate, learn, to rise up with the understanding that the Power of God is real. Why? Because He wants our faith in the power of God not in the wisdom of man.
God does not have to generate more power. He is power.
For the move of God one must put time, energy, and effort for that demonstration of the move.
The Bible is a recipe book of the power of God.
James 5:16 The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
1 Timothy 2:1-2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
In God's recipe for prayer, we are to start by praying for all people.
How do you pray for all people?
In Ephesians chapters 1 (and 3), Paul shows us:
Ephesians 1:18-19 And [I pray] that the eyes of your heart [the very center and core of your being] may be enlightened [flooded with light by the Holy Spirit], so that you will know and cherish the hope [the divine guarantee, the confident expectation] to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints (God’s people), And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength.
Should you be encouraging individuals with the Bible? Absolutely. But you need to also help them connect with a body of believers where they can be enabled with all the fullness of the Body of Christ.
Ephesians 4:11-13 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
How do we get the power working?
God’s power in our bodies and in our lives is activated by our faith filled words, agreeing with God by saying what He says about us.
