The Power of Your Potential
Unlocking the Resources You Need for Your Future

1. possible, as opposed to actual
2. capable of being or becoming
3. a latent excellence or ability that may or may not be developed.

Spiritual Man’s Potential

Gen 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."

Earthly Man’s Potential

Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.

The Potential of God's People

Dan 11: 32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits .

Know Your Abilities
Matt 17:20 So Jesus said to them, "Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.

Key Passage
2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, 3 as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

POTENTIAL
1. AS A BELIEVER, YOU ALREADY HAVE WITHIN YOU ALL YOU NEED TO FULFILL YOUR DESTINY.
2 Pet. 1:His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness

2. UNREALIZED POTENTIAL IS LIKE UNDISCOVERED OIL.
Text...through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue,...

3. YOU HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PROSPER IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE.
Text ...us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature,

BIBLICAL PROSPERITY IS THE ASSURANCE FROM GOD THAT I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED TO FULFILL HIS PURPOSES FOR MY LIFE. The word prosperity means wholeness in spirit, soul and body.

4. YOU MUST REALIZE THAT YOU HAVE HIS DIVINE NATURE.
Text ..., that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5. THE ENEMY'S STRATEGY IS TO KEEP YOU FROM EXPERIENCING WHO YOU REALLY ARE
Text ...that is in the world through lust.


Good news, we have already won.(Rev 12:11)  And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony. And they did not love their  lives until death.



(Rev 22:1-5)  And he showed me a pure river of Water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of its street, and of the river, from here and from there, was the Tree of Life, which bore twelve fruits, each yielding its fruit according to one month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And every curse will no longer be; but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will serve Him.  And they will see His face, and His name will be in their foreheads. And there will be no night there. And they need no lamp, or light of the sun; for the Lord God gives them light. And they will reign forever and ever.
