Most believers agree they need to have the power of God in their lives. But, how can we obtain that power? Is there a secret to obtaining the power of God? It is only a secret to those who do not know the Scriptures. Consider the following:
1, “They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.” Isaiah 40:31
2. “My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from Him.” Psalm 62:5
3. “Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.” Psalms 27:14
4. “But thou, when thou prayed to, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which Seth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:6
In reviewing these Scriptures, I believe that the key to spiritual power is found in secretly waiting on the Lord. This is a personal devotional time. It is recommended you make this a top priority when you arise. Thank Him that He has allowed you to see another day. Look outside and see the beautiful colors. Thank Him for your loved ones, family and friends. Be thankful you have the strength to arise. Then, become quiet. Take your Bible and begin to read. You should have a definite Bible reading program to insure a balanced diet of spiritual truth. Feed your spirit before your body. In the quiet times, God may give you an impression about something you are to do or not to do. Always check your impressions with the Word of God and your pastor or other spiritual authority. There are no islands in this faith, we need each other and a pastor to watch over your soul.
As one waits, the Word says your strength will be renewed. You will be able to face the day. Practice meditating on the Word. Joshua 1:8 says: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein....” Here, meditate means to mumble. Speak the Word quietly to yourself all day and night. You will be strengthened to accomplish what God has given you to do. Then you will have spiritual power.
