Fellowship Hall

Does it seem sometimes that you barely have power to blow your your nose? That is just what the enemy wants you to think. He gets your focus off the one in us who really has the power to defeat him every time. We are not the source of power. The Holy Spirit (Ghost) is the source of power. When we are saved we receive the power from the Holy Spirit to be victorious in our walk with the Lord Jesus. When we receive the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, we receive power for service. This includes power for witnessing. Acts 1:8 But ye shall receive power & ye shall be witnesses..., Romans 5:11 But if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will quicken your mortal bodies through his Spirit which dwells in you. Jesus said that he would go away, & give us another comforter. Jesus was our example. He began his ministry after that he was filled with the Holy Spirit. Zechariah 4:6 Then He answered & said unto me, this is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord. When we try to make things happen, or expect God to move when we snap our fingers, so to speak, it just isn't going to work. God is sovereign & he says yea or nay. We need to keep ourselves in tune with God's word, pray in the Spirit & pray through, in faith, & wait on his will. We must realize that it is not in our own works, but by the Spirit. God isn't a genie. He sees the whole picture & works in our behalf, for our good, our best interest. We need to be ready at all times to do the works of the Lord, instant in season & out. The days of miracles is not over. He- brews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, & today, & forever.
