Stealth Superpowers
I’m sure you’ve heard about the petite woman who was able to lift the car off her child who was pinned under it. The people who have done that kind of feat, accomplished an almost unthinkable amount of strength.
I read this in Psychology Today: “The human body can unleash some amazing RESERVES that deadens “temporary” pain. So, in a time when stealth reserves are needed, it is possible to become super-powered.”
Those life-saving people are the epitome of Superheroes. Think about our armed forces who do the inexplainable in serving us and our country. Think about first responders who have the uncanny ability to operate daily on those reserves while handling real life situations that call for spontaneous, swift-to-action, heroic faith.
Those are the situations that don’t allow for time to survey the situation or pray for hours to muster up courage. But when God is the biggest part of the equation, NOTHING is impossible.
A couple of days ago, my blog was about being exposed to God’s supernatural power that uncovers our greatest potential! As Christians, we have so much untapped potential.
If we are standing upon the “Rock” and remember that the Holy Spirit is inside us, nothing should shake us because our hearts will be focused on the power of Almighty God. So then, if we feel weak, discouraged, and spiritually emptied, we should remember that the Spirit of the Living God is inside of us! The supernatural power of the Almighty is in us!
If we declare it and believe it, then we can expect the Holy Spirit to work in miraculous ways within our lives. We might be common, ordinary, Clark Kent kind-of-folks that are working, doing-what-we-have-to-do to get by. Yes, we love and trust God for sweet calm in the storms of life. We would rather be stress-free and carefree kind-of-folks.
Oh, but wait just a minute, Mr. Postman!! We really shouldn’t settle for being the Clark Kent kind-of-folk. During the most horrific, overwhelming, challenging, faith-tested, heartbreaking times, we don’t have to run and hide. We only need to activate our “RESERVES”.
Those RESERVES are found in our superpowers because we are infused with God’s wisdom and power that takes charge of the situation. We remember THE Superman who lives in us — God Almighty!! “Through our God we shall do valiantly. It is He who will tread down our enemies.” Psalm 108:13
There may be situations today that call for an immediate response of faith — like a friend in pain, and we quickly offer to pray with them; or someone in despair — and we don’t hesitate to encourage them; or helping a friend in need or taking a leap of faith in making a family decision or jumping into a new business opportunity.
Why shouldn’t we stealth up with the knowledge of WHO lives big in us? We can choose to go to the phone booth like Clark Kent did or, better yet — to the THRONE booth where God’s “super” powers kick in and we make the difference in our world today!!
Expect GREAT THINGS from God. Attempt GREAT THINGS with God.
