Access

You Already Have Access

Stop Treating God Like the Last Option

There is a quiet habit many believers fall into. We pray…after we worry. We worship…after we panic. We seek God…after we have exhausted ourselves trying to fix it. Somewhere along the way, God became our emergency exit instead of our daily access point.

But the truth is — you were never meant to live life using your strength first and God’s strength last. Through Jesus Christ, you have been given access to the power of God at all times. Not occasionally. Not when things collapse.
Not when you finally surrender in exhaustion.

Always. Hebrews 4:16 reminds us we can come boldly to the throne of grace — not crawl there after defeat. You don’t beg for access. You don’t earn access. You were born again into access. The name of Jesus is not a religious phrase — it is legal authority in the spirit realm.

Why Do We Still Wait Until the Last Resort?

Because pressure is loud. Bills are loud. People are loud. Fear is loud.
Uncertainty is loud. And many believers have unknowingly trained themselves to respond to pressure before they respond to God. But the Kingdom operates differently:

We do not run to God because we lost control. We run to God because He has control.

The moment a problem appears is the moment heaven’s resources become available — not after your strength runs out.

The Power Working Inside You

Let’s break down this powerful truth: Philippians 2:13 —
“For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure.” This scripture reveals something life-changing. God doesn’t only help you externally. He works internally.

1. “God works in you” — Not just around you

Many believers think God only moves in circumstances. But the first place God moves is inside the believer. Before He changes the situation
He strengthens the person. Before He opens the door; He prepares the heart.

You are not facing life alone — God is actively operating within your thoughts, your faith, your courage, and your decisions.

2. “To will” — He gives you the desire

Sometimes you wonder:

Why do I suddenly want to pray?
Why do I feel conviction?
Why do I feel pulled toward obedience?

That is not random. That is God producing the desire in you. Even the hunger for God is evidence of God working in you. You are not chasing Him first — He is awakening you first.

3. “To do” — He gives you the ability

God doesn’t just inspire you. He empowers you.

Meaning: The same God who gives you the instruction also supplies the strength to obey it. So when you think: “I can’t handle this” You’re right — alone you cannot. But Philippians 2:13 reveals you were never meant to. God supplies both the motivation AND the capacity.

4. “For His good pleasure” — There is purpose in the process

God’s work in you is intentional. Your growth. Your endurance. Your stretching.
Your faith development. None of it is random pressure. It is divine shaping. He is not just solving problems — He is forming a person who can carry purpose.

So Why Make Him the Last Resort?

If God is:

  • Working in you
  • Strengthening you
  • Guiding you
  • Empowering you

Then going to Him last makes no spiritual sense. Prayer is not a surrender after defeat. Prayer is partnership before action. You don’t run to God because you failed. You run to God so you won’t fight battles alone.

Here is Your Birthright Reminder

Through Jesus Christ you have:

  • Access to God
  • Authority in His name
  • Strength beyond your natural ability
  • Guidance within your spirit

You are not waiting for God to start working. He already is. And sometimes the greatest shift in your life will happen the moment you stop asking, “God, why haven’t You moved?” and start realizing, “God, You’ve been working in me this entire time.”

A Simple Prayer

Father,
Teach me to come to You first, not last. Help me recognize Your work inside me — in my desires, my conviction, and my obedience. I receive the strength You are supplying and the grace You are giving. I will no longer live as if I lack access. Through Jesus, I walk in the power You have already provided.
Amen.

Yours In Christ Jesus

Powerful in the Holy Ghost

There is so much power in the baptism of the Holy Spirit. I don’t know if we know how much power we really have access to. I do not know if we understand the power that resides in us is through the baptism of the Holy Spirit.

Today, if you are baptized in the Holy Spirit, I implore you to try him today.  Try accessing that life changing power today.   I truly believe that we have various opportunities throughout the day to Minister to the needs of others. With such great access to such great power, why are we holding back??? Could it be that we are so busy with life that we miss our heavenly opportunities?

We do not even have the imagination of what the Holy Spirit can, will, shall, and must do through us. Will you even try today? Don’t miss a moment to show God’s Love, Majesty, Mercy, Grace, Power, Miracles, Signs, and/or His Wonders.

As I was reading my devotional today it took me to Acts 3.  Peter and John have been recently baptized with fire in the Holy Spirit. They are about to enter the temple and run into a man at the gate called Beautiful. The Bible said he was a lame man and had been that way for 40 years, since birth as a matter of fact. He was there begging for money which is what he did daily.

When the apostles see this man the first thing, they did was felt compassion for him. The ministry that Jesus operated in all the time, kicked in and they began to engage him by speaking to him. Next, they gave him something, not what he wanted or what he asked for. But how many of you know that if you have been unable to walk for 40 years…. I believe it is safe to say that the lame man knew and felt like this was his lot in life. His thoughts could possibly have been I will be like this for the rest of my life. The rest of my days I will be unable to walk, unable to provide for myself or my family without coming here and begging. I think it is a safe It is safe to say that he was relegated to this position and or posture.

However, here comes the Disruptors (Peter and John) with their no having silver and gold selves.  Answering the lame man responded by saying this is what I have for you.  Take up your bed and walk in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene. And suddenly, his feet felt something that they had never felt before. Power surged in his body and he began to stand up in the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible said at once he stood up. He began to walk around on his new legs and feet. And entered into the temple, leaping and jumping and praising God.

So once again, my brothers and sisters, I implore you to access the power of the Holy Spirit that God has granted you and Jesus gifted you. Go out today and throughout your day and throughout your week seek who you can bless with the power of the Holy Spirit.

Who will cross your path today or tomorrow? And You will access the power of the Holy Spirit, operate in the ministry that Jesus called You to, and witness the power of the Holy Spirit move on behalf of the person you are praying for.

Yours in Christ
