Would you like that super-sized?

"Would you like that super-sized?" 

 Or perhaps you'd like to "Do the Dew?"  

The desire for things super-sized, fantastic and thrilling seems to have overtaken our society.   A look at current media reveals our culture's thirst for not only what's thrilling, but also what’s dangerous and extreme.  In a society lacking Godliness, the soul looks for satisfaction in the thrill of extremes.  As believers in Him who created the world, we have been redeemed from the extremes of the enemy of our souls to be extreme for God!   

Our God’s love is extreme toward us in that He gave His only Son to die for us, that we might have life, and life more abundantly (John 10:10).  This scripture literally means “life real and genuine, a life active and vigorous, devoted to God, exceedingly beyond measure (Strong’s Concordance)."  The measure of abundant life is not calculated in worldly wealth and position, but is evidenced by the working of the Holy Spirit in us, affecting the inner man to affect the world around us. 

We have experienced, and the Bible confirms, that life is full of trials and tribulations, but we also are told in His word that we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37).  A conqueror is someone who subdues, prevails and gains a decisive victory (Strong’s Concordance).  There is no victory outside of Him and there is no power to overcome outside of Him-a victory is truly a victory only if it fulfills His will. 

      As we lean our entire personality and being into Christ we become vessels of power and victory for Him.  His extreme power works in us as we become extreme for Him and give Him glory in all things!

      Ephesians 3:20-21(AMP)   "Now to Him Who, by …the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do super abundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams].  To Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever. Amen (so be it)."
