There is uncommon power available to us through God, The Holy Spirit. Uncommon faith is believing that we can receive strength when we are weak and that we can be instruments of that strength when those around us are being consumed by the the ungodly world.
If you are a Christian, you are stronger than you think you are. You just need to start tapping into the spiritual strength that God wants to give you!
Christians should live day-by-day, one day at a time, in God’s strength. But often they turn their focus from living in His strength, to living in the world’s strength. Often, unwittingly, they allow the enemy to build a fortress, a stronghold in their lives that can overpower their focus on the things of God.
No one can live the Christian life in his own strength. Yet so many people try to do just that. They know God has saved them, but in living, they believe a life that pleases Him is possible only through their efforts. They are unwilling to give up the things of the world that hold them captive.
Each day is a battle. Treat each day like you are in a fight for the security of your eternal soul. Satan wants to destroy you, but God wants you to want to let Him help you live a victorious life in Christ.
Each and every day, we should commit ourselves to God and ask Him to live through us that day. That will take a lot of work. A lot of prayer and intense focus on the goodness, purity and holiness of God. We will still experience temptation and adversity. But you will grow in dependence on His power, knowing that He walks with you. We do not have to face the things of this world in our own strength.
Who is in charge of your life—you or Jesus Christ? Do you have strongholds that control you, that must be ripped apart? If you are wise, you will allow the Son of God to direct you each and every day. Let Him give you guidance, direction, and power to make godly choices. Does that mean you will escape all problems, heartaches, and burdens? Not a chance. Nor does it mean that you will never sin again. But you won’t have to struggle on your own. Instead, you can walk in the power of the living God—and that is life at its very best.
