How can we apply the power of God in Ephesians 1:20 daily? Resurrection Power in View “He exercised this power in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 1:20). The same force that shattered the tomb now pulses in every believer. Recognize the Nature of the Power • It is resurrection power—stronger than death (Romans 8:11). • It is royal power—Christ is “seated… far above every ruler and authority” (Ephesians 1:21). • It is resident power—“His incomparably great power for us who believe” (Ephesians 1:19). Daily Mind-Set Shifts 1. Identity: Begin the day confessing, “I am raised with Christ” (Colossians 3:1). 2. Authority: Remember you are seated with Him in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 2:6). 3. Expectancy: Anticipate God “to do immeasurably more” (Ephesians 3:20). Practical Ways to Walk in the Power • Scripture Intake – Read aloud verses of power: Ephesians 1:19-23; Philippians 3:10. – Memorize one promise each week; speak it when doubts whisper. • Spirit-Led Prayer – Pray from Christ’s victory, not for it. – Include bold intercession; resurrection power lifts others (Colossians 1:11). • Immediate Obedience – Act on every clear prompting; power flows through surrendered steps (John 14:21). • Warfare Living – Resist the devil, standing in Christ’s triumph (James 4:7). – Put on the whole armor daily (Ephesians 6:10-18). • Holiness Choices – Rely on the Spirit to put sin to death (Romans 8:13). – Replace old patterns with life-giving habits—gratitude, forgiveness, purity. • Serving in Strength – Minister from God’s energy, not mere willpower (1 Peter 4:11). – Expect grace gifts to manifest for the common good (1 Corinthians 12:7). • Speaking Life – Use words that build and bless (Proverbs 18:21; Ephesians 4:29). – Declare God’s promises over your family, workplace, and community. • Continuous Worship – Praise turns awareness from weakness to His majesty (Psalm 22:3). – Sing truth throughout the day; worship keeps the heart aligned. Fuel for Faith: Key Cross-References • Romans 6:4 — Walk “in newness of life.” • 2 Peter 1:3 — “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness.” • Colossians 2:12 — Raised “through your faith in the power of God.” • 2 Corinthians 12:9 — Power perfected in weakness. Step Out Today The tomb is empty, Christ is enthroned, and His power is at work in you. Believe it, draw on it, and watch everyday moments become arenas for resurrection life. |
