Scriptures About God’s Power in Us

Recently I have been working on writing some posts about spiritual warfare and encountering Satan and evil spiritual and supernatural forces. I’ve been writing on this for a while now and realized that it’s going to have to be split into a few different posts. Some of the most important things we need to know when engaging in spiritual warfare is that we have power and authority from God.

It’s important to build our faith in the knowledge about God’s power in us. When we are confident in the power that is available to us and in us, we can then start to boldly walk in our authority to fight spiritual battles. Today, I’d like to build our faith about God’s power in us. The best way to build faith is to read and hear scripture from the Word of God.

“So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17 (NKJV)

Scriptures about God’s power in us…

“And [so that you can know and understand] what is the immeasurable and unlimited and surpassing greatness of His power in and for us who believe, as demonstrated in the working of His mighty strength, Which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His [own] right hand in the heavenly [places],” Ephesians 1:19-20 (AMPC)

Same verse, different translation

“I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 1:19-20 (NLT)

“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20 (NLT)

“I offer thanks and praise to You, God of my fathers, because You have given me wisdom and power. And now You have let me know what we asked of You, for You have let us know the king’s mystery.” Daniel 2:23 (HCSB)

“One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases.” Luke 9:1 (NLT)

“Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.” Luke 10:19 (AMPC)

“We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves.” 2 Corinthians 4:7 (NLT)

“We faithfully preach the truth. God’s power is working in us. We use the weapons of righteousness in the right hand for attack and the left hand for defense.” 2 Corinthians 6:7 (NLT)

“Each time he said, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness.” So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me.” 2 Corinthians 12:9 (NLT)

“Since you seek [forensic] proof that Christ is speaking in and through me. He is not weak or ineffective in dealing with you, but powerful within you.” 2 Corinthians 13:3 (AMP)

“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”
Romans 8:11 (NLT)

“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father.” John 14:12 (NLT)

“You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.” 1 John 4:4 (NKJV)

Take Some Practical Steps to Use Scriptures about God’s Power in Us:

• First, print this list for future reference OR find a few scriptures that you can use when you need to be reminded of God’s power in you.

Pick from the list above, or look for verses that more specifically fit your situation.

• Then, write them on index cards or post it notes and post them where you can see them.

For example put them on the bathroom mirror, the nightstand, on doors, over light switches, on cabinet doors, on your car console, etc.

Speaking God’s Word strengthen your faith, reminder you of the power within you, and give you confidence to operate in that power.
