The power of God has become less evident in the church because of the
lack of faith of man. For example, look at the many, who look upon
the gifts of the spirit as if they are evil. With God, all things are
possible. I will give you something that has happened to me.
I work in a powerplant and on this perticular day, I was working in
an a room that had alot of sulferic gas in the air. We kept the
windows opened to vent the gas out and often times, birds would fly in
and be overcome by the gas and die. On this day, I was sent to take
reading in this room and as I was doing so, I noticed a movement out
of the corner of my eye. Another bird had flown in and could not find
its' way out. I laid my clipboard down slowly and walked towards it,
to try and catch it and set it free, but everytime I got close, it
would fly away. I eventually got frustrated and went back to taking
readings. Again I seen movement out of the corner of my eye. I turned
around and the bird was about 30 feet from me. It was at this time, I
felt the Holy Spirit move me and I prayed, Father God, I don't want
this small creature to die in this room, please help me catch it.
Then I said, Satan, I rebuke the fear you put in this small creature
of God and command it to be gone, in Jesus's name. As I started
towards the bird, it flew down in front of me and now, I am awe
struck. It hopped past me until it was about a foot away. I slowly,
being a man still in doubt, turned to look at it and it was looking
at me as to say, what are you waiting for. I reached down, picked it
up and set it free outside. All we need to do is have faith. Believing without doubt, depending on Jesus and not on man, is walking in faith. Believe and recieve. Yet, you must learn to be led by the spirit. Many try to lead the spirit and fall and wonder why. We must let the Holy Spirit do the leading. It is by the unction of the Holy Spirit that moves us to walking in faith. It is aquired by a daily ration of eating of God's word and by praying. The more dependent we become upon God, the less dependent we become upon our self will. The less dependent we become on our self will, the more we will be walking in the spirit.So beloved, let the Holy Spirit do the leading. For if the man does the leading, his faith will not grow. Let the Holy Spirit write God's holy word on the fleshly tablets of your heart. Pray continuously in all love and spirit of the faith, and lift up holy hands unto God in praises, for he inhabits the praises of the saints.
Hi T8,
The day that happened, the men I worked with were not very thrilled. Isn't God great? Even though many of the men in my shop did not care to hear about what had happened, the fear of God was planted in their hearts. And the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. I thought it would be something I could post that we could all share.
Thanks H,
I would love to see more share of the work God does in their lives.
I love the simple things. The times every day when things fall into place that I have had no part in organising, the gentle harmony of life in Him.The Lord is such a blessing. He does so many wonderful things for me. I was in a field one night praying and on my way home, as I walked under a street light, the light went out. I didn't give it any thought until I was directly under the next street light. When I was under the next light, it went out. It was at that moment I felt the Holy Spirit move in me and I knew it was a simple sign from the Lord. I praised him all the way home.
And Nick, you have proven that you hate me. And according to the Word of God that is proof that you are not of the light, but that of the darkness. And it is for that reason you will be cast into outer darkness unless you soon repent.
