The Power of Christ in Us
Posted by appolus on April 19, 2025
There is power, brothers and sisters, real power. In Christ. It resides within us and we have been
called to exercise it in the name of the Lord Jesus. Just because the Word of Faith movement
and the Charismatics have so abused this notion, this should not dissuade us from moving in the
power of God,He gives power to the weak, not just comfort, not just words, but power, power from heaven
poured into fragile clay. To those who have no might, He increases strength. This is not human
resolve. This is not willpower. This is divine empowerment. Those who wait on the Lord? They
don’t just survive, they rise. They mount up with wings like eagles. They run and do not grow
weary. They walk, and they do not faint.
Why? Because it is God, yes, God, who commanded light to shine forth from darkness, who said
“Let there be!” and there was, who has now shone into our hearts the light of the knowledge of
the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. There is power in the light, there is power in the
“knowledge of glory.” Not the head knowledge, the mental assent to an abstract truth, but the
glory itself and your experience of it and in it.
And this treasure, what a treasure! This power lives in earthen vessels, in us, so that the
excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. And Jesus said: “You shall receive power
when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…” (Acts 1:8). Power to live. Power to stand. Power to
speak. Power to shine like lights in a darkened world. Power to be His witnesses in Jerusalem,
Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
Paul declared, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” He prayed that we
would be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. And Jesus Himself said,
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” So Paul says,
“Therefore I will boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
Do you believe that today, saints? Do you believe there is a power alive in you? Christ in you,
the hope of glory? Is there life in you? Is there light in you? Then let it burn. Let it blaze. Let the
world see Jesus alive in you.
Let me give you a small example of Gods glory and power. I sat in the vet’s office many years
ago as my beloved dog was old and sick and dying. I asked them how long the injection would
take and they said a minute, maybe two. But after five minutes passed—she was still breathing.
Confusion crossed their faces. The young women looked a little panicked. Something unspoken
hung in the air. My hand was resting on her head. And then, in that moment, the Lord
whispered to me: “Take your hand off her head.” I obeyed. As I did, her head slowly lowered
and she rested on my foot and passed away.
There is power, my friends. Power in the touch. Power in obedience. Power in surrender. Power
in the flow of Christ’s Spirit through yielded vessels. Will you let Him flow through you today?
The world is starving, starving for an expression of Christ. Not religion. Not performance. But
the raw, radiant reality of Jesus alive in us.
Let Him rise in you. Let Him shine through you. Let the power of Christ rest upon you today. The
resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, the same power that caused Christ to rise from the dead,
dwells with us earthen vessels.

Amen Brother Frank. Love it. Another wonderful message our LORD has given you for our exhortation.
This has become my prayer whenever possible. Help me to be Jesus to people.
I have watched HIM move through me to speak to people that otherwise would not allow the Word of GOD to be spoken to them. They will stare into my eyes. I KNOW they are NOT seeing me. They are seeing JESUS in me. It is amazing to watch. HE always knows just what they need to hear. I am just the willing vessel for HIS work. HE is sowing into their lives.
I’ve watched HIM work through me to help little children or the elderly be at peace where they were otherwise very upset.
Or, to speak life into a marriage that had fallen apart.
Time and Time again HE knows just what needs to be said. It is amazing & exciting to watch HIM at work and when I walk away to continuously be Glorifying HIS Name for HIS Will having been done.
Herein is the scripture: (Matthew 10:19&20) Take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Because with HIM doing the speaking you can KNOW that HIS Will was done.
HalleluYAH!!! Praise Our Wonderful LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ.
These are exciting days to live in when you have perfect peace to NOT be shaken.
