How is it possible for we “humans” to be faithful...

 

... to be obedient...to be generous...to be extra-ordinary in any way in a world that tears away from anything spiritual we would want to be?  Have we set you up for failure when we tell you to be extra-ordinary or is there something more that will help you in this endeavor?  Let me establish this point...we serve an extra-ordinary God...we serve an extra-ordinary Savior Jesus Christ and He has sent to us extra-ordinary help thru Holy Spirit! This being the case why would we ever settle to be ordinary?

Jesus Himself said this: Acts 1:8 (NLT) “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere—in Jerusalem, throughout Judea, in Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” If we have decided Jesus is extra-ordinary in His life, His love, and His promises we can be sure that He will supply us with the power we need to live lives that are full of life!  Again He said: John 10:10 (NKJV) “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”

You shall receive power and He has come that you might have life and have it to the full. This being said by our Lord Jesus Christ...where do we stand today with having this incredible power and having this life.  Remember LIFE stands for Living In Freedom Every day...are you?  Paul said: Ephesians 5:15‑18 (NLT) “So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.”  Pastor Rick, how can I know if I am filled with the power of Holy Spirit?  Do you pray in the Holy Spirit daily, are you walking in power or defeat, are you walking in freedom of the Holy Spirit?  My challenge for you is this...Seek the Lord while He may be found with all your heart and implore Him to fill you with power from on high. Thru the power of the Holy Spirit you can live an extra-ordinary life!
