ARE YOU USING THE POWER
2 Timothy 2:21
Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, prepared for every good work.
This afternoon we will be driving back across Southern Minnesota and will pass by 1000's of giant wind turbines. Being a windy day, most of them will be spinning feverishly harvesting the power of the wind and converting it to electric power. It is an amazing thing to see.
This reminded me of the power that we have available to us and responsibility we have to allow that power to work through us.. We each have a mission to accomplish, given by Jesus himself. Only by the outpouring of the Holy Spirit's Power can we expect to make a difference in this world. The promise of this divine ability recorded in Acts 1:8 was in fact the last thing Jesus said before his ascending return to heaven.
"...you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest parts of the earth."
Jesus promised this over 2000 years ago and that promise has not changed - we are supernaturally equipped to preach the gospel to the ends of the earth. We have been given access to amazing power in our lives, through an all-powerful God. How are we using that power in our lives?
We cannot harvest anything from God like we harvest the wind power, capturing wind power is much tougher.... It's actually much easier than that. All we have to do is allow God to work in and through our lives.
Use the power!
