“But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (AMPC)

There may be certain accomplishments in your life that you want to try, feel called, or deeply desire to do, but you wonder how.  In and of your own strength it seems impossible and it may well be! However, remember redeemed one, who you are, and Who’s you are—for you are a child of the Most High God, Who’s strength and power are always at the ready to work in you—and flow through you, to others, in the most astounding and life-changing ways.

What is in your heart today to do?  Perhaps just that one small step or even that giant leap you so long to take.  The truth is, you can never do it on your own, or do it well, at least.  Yet if you ask your glorious God, you will receive not only the power to bring it to pass; but the grace, strength, and ability that comes from Him alone. 

In other words, His might, strength, ideas and aptitude, will partner with you, allowing what seemed impossible before, to come to pass! This is a recipe for guaranteed success.   Don’t worry about the missteps or mess-ups; the tried and failed. There is life and lessons in each of these attempts. Holy Spirit will help you gain perspective, bringing redemption to each area, as only He can do. 

Open your heart to His leading, and your mind to His learning, and begin again! He is with you now, cherished one, and He does all things well.
