Powerless

I am powerless; or I often live a powerless life rather. I'm not talking about power by the world's flimsy standards. The power I am talking about has nothing to do with my career, social status, financial means or political affiliations; instead has everything to do with who I belong to. I walk around like I am being tossed by the wind in this life full of unpredictability, instead of someone who has all power and authority in Christ. I am a daughter of the King and therefore I have been granted access to all He promises in His Word, yet how often do I live like it? For a long time I have had this stirring in my heart for something that was hard to describe in words. I most often notice this stirring when I hear someone speak or pray with strong conviction and passion. I finally realized that what grips me the most is that they speak and pray with Power, power in their Creator, power in the life & death of their Savior. I want that Power, & truthfully, I HAVE that Power, I just need to stand up & claim it. Most recently I have been reminded & awakened to the Power I have in Christ through the song Your Great Name by Krissy Nordhoff & Michael Neale.

Your Great Name
Lost are saved, find their way
At the sound of Your great name
All condemned feel no shame
At the sound of Your great name
Every fear has no place
At the sound of Your great name
The enemy, he has to leave
At the sound of Your great name

Jesus, worthy is the Lamb
that was slain for us
Son of God and man
You are high and lifted up
And all the world will praise
Your great name

All the weak find their strength
At the sound of Your great name
Hungry souls receive grace
At the sound of Your great name
The fatherless find their place
At the sound of Your great name
The sick are healed, the dead are raised
At the sound of Your great name

Redeemer,My Healer, Lord Almighty
Sustainer,Defender, You are my king


Those lyrics give me chills every time I hear them. This song has become my Anthem...something I listen to just about every day to remind me of the unbelievable & unwaivering power I have in my Father.
