Power Of Just Perfect


Key Scripture: "The God who arms me with strength, and He makes my way perfect." Psalms 18:32 NLT
Power Point:
      Being perfect is not something I can identify with.  As far as I can tell, there is nothing perfect about me! My nose is not perfect.  I can’t see without my glasses.  Sometimes, (rarely, of course), I have negative thoughts and find myself letting them spill out of my mouth.  Sometimes I have a few too many inches on my hips or those little brown spots appear as if by magic on my face. My mirror does not reflect perfection. How about you?
     Would the people in your life be the first to say, “She or he is just perfect! They never do a wrong thing or say a wrong word." Possibly not.
    Aren’t you excited to know that there is someone who thinks you are just perfect for Him?  Isn’t it wonderful to know that there is someone who loves to be with you all the time, and never sees a spot or a wrinkle or a flaw. Beloved, you are flawless to your heavenly Father.  You are absolutely and unqualified perfection in Him. Why?  Because Jesus is perfection.  Because Jesus took away all your sin you are perfect now- not tomorrow or the next day-but NOW.  You probably don’t feel perfect. Your mirror, like mine, may not reflect perfection, but dear one, He sees you with different eyes.  Your imperfections are only possibilities for Him. He sees the finished product.
     The first thirty years of Jesus life were perfection. Then came that glorious day when God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit. That day all the perfection of being a God/man was released in abundance.  From that point on, the powerful anointing of God changed everything.
One moment He was just perfect and the next moment He was propelled with the Perfect Power to pursue His destiny. From that moment He went about doing good and healing the sick and raising the dead. Because He could. Because the Holy Spirit made a difference in Him, and because it was God's perfect plan for Him. 
     The power of God transformed Jesus. You can see that it was a process, just as it is with us. Jesus did not raise people from the dead at the age of two. He GREW into His calling. But He was still perfect. God said so.
     Did you know that you have the same power available to you that Jesus had?  You are already perfect in God’s eyes if you have given your life to Jesus. Are you ready for the next step? Are you ready to run your race with POWER?  
     The Holy Spirit is the power of perfection in our lives.  He’s Jesus’ best gift to us. Perfection without power is "just" perfect. Perfection WITH Perfect Power is the role model Jesus has given us.

Power Thought:
You are perfect for Him.  You ARE perfect for Him.  You are perfect for Him. You are perfect FOR Him. You are perfect for Him. 

You are perfect for Him, just perfect.

"Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."  Matthew 5:48
