Encounters with Jesus – March 8, 2026

Read the passage: Matthew 17:14–20

The Bible tells us that we have a God who is powerful and active and He’s working everywhere. Jesus told us that God sends rain and sun upon both the righteous and the unrighteous. He feeds the birds of the air and He clothes the flowers of the field. He works in all things for our good, and he sustains all things by his powerful word. So God is actively involved in every good thing that happens. You can say that God’s grace is like sunlight because every part of the world experiences the grace of God and the power of God.

And yet there are some people who experience a concentration of God’s power. So they’re able to do things that a normal person can’t. And I think that’s a good thing. I believe the world needs more powerful Christians because there’s so much brokenness around us. There’s so much pain and loss and anxiety. If only we could have more power from God to make things right.

So, my big question is: How can we have more power from God? Today I want to show you an answer from the Bible. The answer is that we need to take action on God’s words without twisting them.
