The power of God has not in the least bit been diminished over the past 2000 years. Our Lord still sits on His great throne and His train still fills the temple. He still walks on the wings of the wind He still rides on the backs of the mighty cherubim and He still is the Triumphant Champion from Calvary. All hell still bends to His will and sin and death have lost their hold on all who rest in the shadow of His presence. And the God who calmed storms raised up dead men to life and multiplied fishes and loaves to feed thousands is the same God we have today.

Dont pray that God would teach you how to love like He loves pray that He would fill you with Himself and that He would love in and through you. Dont pray that He would teach you to have joy pray that the living God full of joy would enter into you. Dont pray that He would teach you how to be peaceful ask for the God of peace the Prince of peace to infill you. Because if you try to imitate in your own strength you will be a miserable replica. But if you allow the impartation of Jesus Christ to overtake you suddenly it all works because it is Him imitating Himself and He is very good at being God.
