7 Ways We Tap Into God’s Power :
#1 - Through Our Humility
James 4:6-7, 10 KJV - But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisters the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you...Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
#2 - Through Our Faith
Hebrews 11:33-34 KJV - Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong (made strong in DUNAMIS), waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of aliens.
#3 - Through Our Prayers
James 5:16 KJV - Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
#4 - Through Our Praise
Hebrews 13:15 KJV - By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
#5 - Through Our Thoughts
2 Corinthians 10:3-5 KJV - For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into the captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Philemon 3-6 KJV - Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my God, making mention of thee always in my prayers, Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints; The the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.
#6 - Through Our Words
Proverbs 18:20-21 AMPC - A man's [moral] self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil]. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [ for death or life].
#7 - Through Our Actions
John 13:17 AMPC - If you know these things, blessed and happy and to be envied are you if you practice them [if you act accordingly and really do them].
