Our Greater Power

2 Kings 18,19; 2 Chronicles 32; James 5

“After all that Hezekiah had so faithfully done, Sennacherib king of Assyria came and invaded Judah. He laid siege to the fortified cities, thinking to conquer them for himself…’Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or discouraged because of the king of Assyria and the vast army with him, for there is a greater power with us than with him.’”

2 Chronicles 32:1, 7

Our faithfulness to the Lord is no guarantee we won’t be spiritually attacked and faced with great temptation to turn away from the Lord. However, those who know the Lord know there is a greater power within them than in the world. Hezekiah testified to this greater power before he had experienced it or been delivered from evil. Hezekiah even called those he was leading to be strong and courageous rather than fearful in the face of the vast attacking army. His demonstration of faith won the day.

What tests are we facing that require a bold faith-response?

In the face of our challenges and tests, do we know the reality of the greater power of the Holy Spirit within us?

What declaration are we prepared to make in the face of our enemy today?

“Lord Jesus, you are my strength, power, and sufficiency this day, for your glory.”
