Power Pull

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, Ephesians 1:18-19 (NIV)

Prop: plasma ball

            I brought a fun toy with me today.  (Turn on plasma ball).  This is called a plasma ball.  Do you see all the cool light beams shooting out from the center?  There is a lot of electricity flowing in there. 

            The power of God is all over the universe.  His power holds the universe together. (Hebrews 1:3)  He keeps the sun, moon and stars in the sky.  His power moves all over the earth like these light beams are moving all over this ball.  He keeps the oceans moving and the birds flying.  And the greatest miracle of all: He is still forgiving people for their sins and bringing salvation to the lost.  His power is everywhere.

            (Touch the plasma ball).  But watch what happens when I touch the ball: the power is attracted to my hand.  There is something in my hand that is attracting that power.  Your faith will bring God’s power into action.  Ephesians 1:19 mentions God’s “incomparably great power for us who believe.”  If you want God’s power to touch you, touch Him with your faith.  Reach out to Him: Ask for your miracle and believe that He will do it for you. 

            Faith: It doesn’t take much, just one touch.
