Power is simply our ability to accomplish what God desires for us to accomplish in these areas. If they could be done by simply human means, there would be no need for a conversation process and Christian experience of life to begin with. In this imaginary case, it would simply be that anyone could be a Christian by simply walking a path following certain principles. Though, we know that’s not the case—but the case is that a conversion experience is necessary. And that’s not to say this ‘experience’ happens at one, singular moment (though most often it seems to), but sometimes it can happen over a period in one’s life. All this power bestowed into the Christian’s life is according to God’s “glorious might.” Paul would say the familiar verse elsewhere, “for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure” (Philippians 2:13, ESV). It isn’t that all this working power is directed toward actions within the boundaries of ministry, but it is also, and probably more so, in the development of our individual characters.
