Not Just Talk

For the Kingdom of God is not just a lot of talk; it is living by God’s power.

—1 Corinthians 4:20 (NLT)

LORD of my Life,

Help me to submit my will, my plans and my purposes to Your perfect will, plans and purposes for my life—so that Your mighty power might truly be alive in me.

Help me to realize that my experience of the spiritual realm over which You are sovereign is not by an abundance of empty words of mere intent on my part—but that it is revealed and made alive by my experience of the power of Your Holy Spirit working in me, through me, and all around me.

By the power of Your Holy Spirit, continue to change my heart so that my walk—the evidence that proves what I truly believe—more perfectly reflects my talk—that which I claim to believe.

Let my life be lived as an outward manifestation of the grateful response of my heart to everything that You are revealing to me about what You are doing by Your magnificent power within the spiritual realm.

Help me to submit my will, my plans and my purposes to Your perfect will, plans and purposes for my life—so that Your mighty power might truly be alive in me.

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
