Perhaps I'm given the power to do the things that are in God's will?

And for the not-so-Western-religion-inclined like me, I don't get bogged down in figuring out the master grid plan that some omnipotent being has mapped out for me. I seek, and the intuitive direction reveals itself. Unblocked from me, my desires and wants, God comes rushing in.
Yeah..... I guess we do Keith (darn it!) I sure forget to use it though....or don't know to use it maybe? I'd argue we also have plenty of power to do stuff outside God's will....and it's the misuse of that power that lands us in trouble. Free-will stuff, ya know?

.... I do also pray that everyone else out there is made aware of His will for them and that they have the power to carry it out.... I mean, I can't have any of "those heathens" screwing me over out of ignorance!!!
