Did ya’ll know there are just five weeks until Santa Claus comes to visit all of us good girls and boys again this year? Yes sir and yes mam, in just a snowflake more than a month, Christmas will be here and it will be time once again for presents under the tree, piping hot wassail in our cups, and a big spread of food covering the table. There will be football on the flatscreen, and twinkling lights on a tree, and all of the other usual trappings of the season.

It is that time of year, time for family, food, football, and fun. Though I haven’t seen as many this year, Facebook is usually inundated each November with the “Thankfulness posts” where everyone seems to think that posting each day for a single month what they are thankful for will make up for their (sometimes) ungrateful attitudes the rest of the year.

Do you understand how powerful you are? That’s right! You are very powerful, in fact, you are a force to be reckoned with. Whenever you gave your life to Christ, you became a child of God. As a child of God, you have off the chart power and authority. The problem is a lot of people do not walk in this power and authority. Many children of God do not take the benefits that are freely offered to us. We are to be supernaturally infused in our daily life as the Holy Spirit strengthens us. As we read the Gospels, we see the power that Jesus had. Jesus demonstrated this authority and power from Heaven on the earth. Jesus said “We would do greater works than He did”. You are powerful, my friends.
