Power Problems? Bible Says Use Wind Power!
Hey Friends,
We can’t turn on any medium today without hearing about power and its high cost. Coal, oil, wind, solar, and renewable power are the talk of the day. The Bible is clear that we have a renewable source of energy and it is the Wind – the Spirit of God – the Breath of God – the Presence of God. And it is renewable and it will never run out.
As leaders in the Kingdom of God we are called on day and night and we are to run “from can to can’t.” E-mails, phone calls, and everyone and everything are emergencies that must be handled right now! You know what I am talking about. We are called to take care of the sheep, but we are also called to take care of ourselves. We must stay plugged into the Source. If we forget the God of the work we will be no good to the work of God. He said: “It is not by power or might but by My Spirit says the Lord.” He is the power. It is not cool lighting, message titles, or great contemporary music, but by the power of God. We must not forget!
1. Get with God daily. Set a time and keep it.
2. Have a Personal Growth Plan.
3. Engage in warfare prayer. “The Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force.”
4. Fasting will keep us plugged in.
5. Praise and worship, which the enemy hates. Spend time in praise. I watch most pastors and they don’t participate in worship during the service. Puzzling?
6. Die to self daily. Satan can’t tempt a dead person.
7. Be accountable.
8. Confess our impotence without Him.
9. Have a Sabbath, probably not on Sunday.
10. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Acts 4:31 says, ”And the place where they had prayed was shaken and they all were filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the Word of God with boldness.” Remember this was the same group in the upper room on the day of Pentecost. How full are you right now? Is the Holy Spirit in control?
Remember God owns all the power and authority and ability. He still can rock the world and your heart.
You are not alone!
Pastor

I really like the things you have listed here. I couldn’t agree more. Would you agree that the more we understand and have the fear of the Lord operating in our lives the more we will gravitate towards these things. Isaiah said of Jesus in 11:2-3:
“And the Spirit of Jehovah shall rest on Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of Knowledge and understanding and of the fear of the Jehovah. And He is made to breathe in the fear of Jehovah.
Wow! Our Lord’s very breath was dependant upon the fear of the Lord. As we get a revelation of that it can’t help but push us towards a life lived for God. It can’t help but push us towards a desire for holiness. As we begin to see the Beauty of His holiness it should drive us deeper into Him. I would encourage us all to dig deep into the word and learn everything we can about the fear of Jehovah. It is the beginning of wisdom. Be blessed.

I have been missing out on this through most of this week, thanks for the reminder PC!
Each morning my time with God starts out with this prayer.
All Mighty God, what are your plans today? Can I join you in those plans?
It allows God to rule in my day in starting out that way.
Then I’m reminded I’m to have a outstanding day for God will not need my help. God has it all undercontrol. I’m to look at Yashua (Jesus). Let his healing cover my day. Then I’m to stand tall be a healer and friend to all. Even if the people who cross my path may or may not agree with me. Love them! I don’t need to step on them nor have them step on me. Give all that I can. Receive what is given graciously by others positive or negative gifts. In all events let God lead.
You are right on track as always. The days were my routine are changed and I missed my timewith Him. If it’s because smething has happened over night or my boss wants to set and talk in my office before work starts. I just feel that I am out of sequence all
day. Man I sure could use a dose of the Ghost. Love
you Pastor.
