POWERLESSNESS

As Bill Johnson says: As soon as the Holy Spirit made our body His temple, He immediately expected us to conquer something.

It is tragic when the highest point in a church's celebration is when we accomplish something humanly possible. Once the Spirit takes up residence in us, powerlessness becomes inexcusable. As leaders today, we must face the causes for powerlessness in our lives and accept the challenge to live the life Christ made possible.

And be blessed.

I would agree with Bill...in that that which we are to conquer is our flesh...our ego, and our desire to be in control...powerlessness is not to be conquered by US DOING something, but rather, by us acknowledging that without The Holy Spirit...we can DO nothing and then YIELDING in SUBMISSION to HIM....the source of THE Power....
