Title: "Whose Got The Power"
Date: Sunday, July 8, 2007

It seems like a struggle every morning to find the strength to get out of bed. Not many of us are always in the best state of mind when the sun rises. We forget that life is a gift from our Father God and should be lived in gratitude that it was given. Our Father has also given us Power to live, but a good portion of that power we often give to someone or something else. I really appreciated the sermon this morning.

Pastor B spoke about how most of us find the power of living in our flesh and/or worldly things from birth. We are conditioned to always seek the bigger or better tangible things in life. Once we have achieved those things, we are looking to the next income or status level, never really finding true happiness in those things of the world. We find out later on in life that we are powerless in our flesh.

When in actuality most of us would not even get out of bed if we depended on our human selves or worldly things to be the motivating factors. The truth is that we need to find our power for living. That power is the "HOLY GHOST" that lives inside of you. God has put the "HOLY GHOST" inside each of us to let our spiritual selves know that he is always with us even when our flesh and the world let us down.

Psalm 30 v 8 says "I cried to thee, O Lord; and unto the Lord I made supplication." Luke 10 v 16a says "He that heareth you heareth me;" God is letting us know that there is Power in Prayer. If we ask for the strength to have joy, peace, faith, love, etc. inside, the "HOLY GHOST" will grant it. If we realize that we have always had the power in us, then we can always get on with business of living in Our Father's Glory. Amen
