His Power
If I relaxed for even a moment, the machine would be back on its side, half underwater, in a deep, ugly muckhole. My arms were stretched as high as I could reach and yet under the pressure of a significant amount of weight, but because I was standing nearly to my waist underwater in a deep rut, I wasn't quite tall enough to push it upright onto its wheels. What I needed was power outside of myself.
Another person (or 2 or 3) would have made things simple, but I didn't have another person. Sometimes in life we simply cannot do what we WANT to do or NEED to do.
Some are battling alcohol or drug addiction. Some are experiencing the devastation of divorce and single parenting. Some are battling lust. And painful experience has shown them that they simply cannot move forward in victory on their own. They need POWER. This is what Christ offers.
2 Corinthians 10:4 says, "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have DIVINE POWER to demolish strongholds." 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but GIVES US POWER, love and self-discipline." Do you want a truly victorious life? You need power- HIS power! Come by FAITH, walk in OBEDIENCE, ASK for His power, and He WILL give it! Be blessed! -Pastor Brad
