God almighty power has many implications in our lives. It means that He is capable of bringing us up out of disasters, and it means that we can cast all our worries and troubles and problems on Him. It means that God is capable of forgiving every sin, and rescuing us from temptation. But the implications of Christ's love and power go even further. Christ's love and power not only rescue us again and again from attack, but they protect us from future attacks.
1 Thessalonians 5:8 says, "But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet." God's love and power are meant to literally cover us like armor. Just as an armor plate would protect our physical bodies from harm, God's love protects our spiritual bodies. Our hope of salvation in our omnipotent creator is what keeps our minds safe from the attacks of the enemy. John Angell James observes, "Satan may be, is, powerful, more powerful than we imagine - but God is all-powerful...God lends you His almightiness. Go to the field not only as warriors and heroes- but as God-prompted, Got sustained men."
God the Spirit dwells in us, and therefore we have access to the all-mighty power of God. Regardless of how powerful our adversaries are, God is the MOST powerful, and it is He who protects us. When we realize this, we will lose our fear of the world, and live whole-heartedly for Christ.
