More than Power

In this sermon we looked at power. Herod tried to kill Jesus and he was a mighty man. The problem he has was he was running on his own power.

We looked into our own lives to see if we were running on our power or God's power. we looked at three steps to receive God's power in our lives.

Step one was to admit that we need it. God is looking over us and wanting to give us His power but He would never force it on us. He gave us free will and does not over ride it. He is always trying to get our attention so we can surrender to Him.

Step two was to be plugged in. A toaster will not work if it is not plugged into a power source. We must be plugged into God if we want to receive His power. We stay plugged in my being obedient. It is arrogant to think we can receive God's power while we are being dis-obedient to His will. He is not going to bless sin. To say plugged in we need to be obedient to the things God wants to add to our life and remove the things He wants removed.

Step three is to live by faith. Look up Hebrews 11:1 to find the definition of faith. When we start to believe we have heard from God and He is calling us, it is up to us to start to take the steps of faith. He will direct the paths of His children, but we have to take the steps.

Have you admitted you need God's power, ask Him for it.

Are you plugged into God, pray and seek HIM!

Are you walking by faith, what has god spoke to you about that you need to take the first baby step?
