Life with Power has been created as a simple online devotional that reflects on passages of Scripture focussing on basic truths and clear application for living by the power of God's word.
Hebrews 4:12 says"For the word of God is alive and powerful.”
If the word of God, the Bible, is spiritually alive because passages like 2 Timothy 3:16 say "All Scripture is God-breathed” (NIV), then there must be unseen ways the word of God fills our lives with the power of God in co-operation with the Holy Spirit living inside us.
This is why getting to Scripture - reading it, listening to it, understanding it and living by it - can feel like a spiritual battle, and why God is at work in us to understand it and take it to heart.
This is also why Paul the apostle often prays in the New Testament for believers that truths of God’s word will penetrate their hearts by the Spirit (Eph. 1:17-18, 3:18-19). It’s also why we should not only discipline ourselves to read God’s word but also pray for spiritual strength from God to do so.
