ARE YOU PLUGGED IN?

Romans 8: 11

And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you; (then) He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you.


I agree with Joyce Meyer when she says, we don't get it about the power that is within us.  We ask God for power and strength to do things.  We ask that because we feel flimsy at the time, tired, worn out, totally incapable.  John was trying to ask me very detailed questions the other night at 8:30 p.m.
(ha - right!  8:30 p.m.)  I mustered up everything I had and said "John, I'm off line, okay?"   He thought that was hilarious.  I was absolutely serious.  I had nothing left to give.  In general, though, I think we don't acquire the power that is already in us as is written in the scripture here.  We are pretty sure we have to ask God for it.  We are pretty sure it has to be for something appropriate and according to level of crisis.

Luke 10: 19

I have been given the authority to tread on serpents and scorpions and have POWER over all the enemy and that no harm will come unto me.

So since we have it already, why don't we stay plugged in at all times.  I hear lots of war stories lately and staying level is difficult.  I can't even imagine what it is like for some people that have horrific challenges ahead of them.  The young people today!!!  What will happen to our grandchildren in the future?  Do they have a future?  Only with God.  My opinion, of course.  My experience and years tell me, I have to put them in God's hands and let Him take control.  What about the people who have cancer?  What about the people out east, the people in Indianapolis who lost their homes today in an explosion.  Staying plugged in means I will need to make a commitment to exercise my power, given by the Holy Spirit.

We have a lot of responsibility today.  Praying for our nation, and family.  Ourselves and our friends.

I will be sending through a prayer I received on the internet.  Later.
