Those verses confirm that the strengthening power of God inside you is the most awesome power there is! It’s not only the same power that operated through Jesus when He was on earth, and through the early apostles, it’s the power that exploded into hell after Jesus was crucified and raised Him from the dead! It’s the universe-upholding power that’s in Him right now as the King of kings and LORD of lords!
No wonder the Apostle Paul said in Ephesians 3:20 that God is “able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.” No wonder he prayed in Ephesians 1: “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe…” (verses 17-19).
The more we grow in our revelation of the power of God that’s in us, as believers, the more we’ll act on it. The more we act on it, the more freely and fully that power will flow.
This is why the devil works so hard to keep us from pressing into The WORD and finding out who we are in Christ. It’s why he tries so hard to keep us from getting hold of the truth about the power that’s within us. He knows from experience what that power can do. He was totally defeated by it 2,000 years ago, when Jesus was raised from the dead and “having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15).
The devil will never recover from what happened to him at the Resurrection. He lost everything that day. The dunamis power of God, working in and through Jesus, utterly disarmed him and stripped him of everything he had. That’s the reason the devil flees when we, as believers, resist him. He sees in us that same power and he’s terrified of it. He never wants to tangle with it again.
