A prayer to encounter the power of God by Emily Rose Massey, read by Leah Martin.

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely,

and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete,

without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faithful is he who calls you,

and he also will bring it to pass.

1 Thessalonians 5, 23 through 24.

Years ago, I believed that encountering the power of God was limited to a financial breakthrough,

or witnessing someone walk out of a wheelchair. It meant being moved so deeply in his presence while worshipping him in song that I was

moved to tears and fell to my knees or danced for joy before my king.

Yes, those were powerful moments in my life that impacted my faith in God in a very real way,

but the more I've walked with the Lord and spent time in his word getting to know

who he is, I've come to realize the power of God extends far beyond those moments.

God reveals his mighty power when he takes a rebellious sinner and purifies his wicked heart

and conforms his life to look more and more like Christ day by day. Talk about witnessing

the miraculous. In 1 Thessalonians chapter 5, the Apostle Paul prays for the believers walk with

the Lord to be strengthened and experience this kind of life-changing power from the God of peace.

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely,

and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame,

at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Faithful is he who calls you, and he also will bring it to pass.
