In the last couple of days, i've heard 2 simple statements made by 2 different young men which contained deep spiritual truth.
One is a pastor, and the other a teacher.
When a group of us were talking about how ministers of the past and present such as Charles Finney, Kenneth Hagin, Billy Graham, carried the presence and power of God wherever they went - at services and meetings and even as they lived out their every day lives. It was such that people could recognise and were aware of the love of God, even the conviction of the Holy Spirit. The lives of the people they encountered - even just once - were impacted, converted, transformed. The pastor among us observed that it was not a visitation, but a habitation.
The bible says that our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit in Corinthians. We are told again in the same book that we have treasure within us that God has given us - the very power of God. In Ephesians, Paul reveals that the very same divine, miraculous, supernatural power that raised Jesus from the dead is at work in us.
In an email regarding prayer requests, the other young man, the teacher exorted in a simple line: Let's tap on the unlimited resources of God! Indeed our own human powers and ability may be exhausted, but the store house of the Lord which contains all things wonderful and special as revealed to us in glimpses in His precious word NEVER runs out.
I was so ENCOURAGED!
