How We Can Have Power with God - Genesis 32:22
How We Can Have Power With God
Principle number 1:
God cannot make us what He wants us to be until we are
honest with Him about who (what) we really are.
Principle number 2:
When we let God prevail over us we prevail over everything
under us.
Power does not lie in the number of people who submit to
you, rather real power rests in submitting to God and his principles, obeying
him daily, trusting Him to fulfill all that He promises to do, and submitting to his
leadership.
