No Superpowers Needed - Just Follow Christ's Example
John 13:12-17 NIV
12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. "Do you understand what I have done for you?" he asked them. 13 "You call me 'Teacher' and 'Lord,' and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet. 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.
1 Corinthians 11:1 NIV
11:1 Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
Ephesians 5:1-2 NIV
1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

We don't need God to give us special or super powers to accomplish the work he's set out for us to do in the world. He will give us the necessary graces but we're still free to reject them. Keep in mind that if we reject His graces, our spiritual rewards will be less.
To think we have to "save the world" is truly psychotic. Enough is for us to play the part alloted to us in the Body of Christ. Only Jesus could have and did save the world.
