Power to Do What You Know

Daily Devotional

Work Out What God Works In

You may feel powerless at times. You may even feel like your will is broken.
But the truth is, if Christ lives in you, then so does the will to obey.

That tug in your spirit, that conviction in your conscience, that whisper saying,
"Do what’s right, even if it’s hard”—
That’s God working in you.

Obedience doesn’t begin with your effort.
It begins with your agreement with what God already placed inside you.
You’re not building something from scratch.
You’re working out what the Spirit has already worked in.

Obstinacy, pride, excuses—those are the barriers that need blowing up.
And the explosive charge?
Obedience.

You’re not being asked to manufacture power.
You’re being invited to activate what’s already been deposited.

Kingdom Discipleship: A Word from Pastor Kevin

Sons and daughters,
Let me tell you something the enemy hopes you’ll forget:
Your will is not weak—your will is aligned with God.

That frustration you feel about not following through,
that inner tension when you say “I know better”—
That’s not failure.
That’s evidence that the Holy Spirit is alive and active inside you.

You’re not fighting to gain God’s will.
You’re fighting to release it—to walk in what’s already yours.

So today, shake off the guilt. Shake off the “I can’t.”
Take a breath. Obey the Spirit.
And as you move, you’ll see: this life of obedience is as natural as breathing
when you truly believe that God Himself is empowering your every step.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

• What area of my life feels like I “can’t” obey God right now?

• Am I confusing a moment of struggle with a deeper lack of will?

• What would it look like to trust that God’s power is already in me to do it?
