Are You Plugged In?

Today we are always concerned about our cell phones running low on power.  Our cell phone will give us alerts when the power is getting too low.  Likewise, our soul and mind give us alerts when we are running low on spiritual power.  Just as we take time to leave our cell phone plugged into the power outlet, our souls need to take time to commune with our Creator, for we are in constant need of spiritual power from our Creator.  We need communion with Him. *II Corinthians 13:14*

Our cell phone will cease to work without power, and our soul will cease to operate as it should and fulfill the purpose for which it was made without Christ's power.  Our spiritual power source is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself:  He is called the Power of God in I Corinthians 1:14.  Only the Holy Ghost can connect our souls to the Power of God which is in Christ.  Jesus said, Without Me, ye can do nothing.

We must take time, sit still, and draw power from Christ and His words.  We must let Christ strengthen us each day, by seeking Him, praying to Him, meditating on Him, and communing with Holy Ghost (being led by and walking in the Spirit in our daily lives and activities).  God the Father gave His Son for us, and He gave His Spirit to us.  Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. Abide in Christ, Live Through Christ, Abide in His Love and Words, and Be filled with the Spirit of God.

Through Jesus' name whosoever believeth in Him shall receive the remission of sins.  But as many as received Christ, to them gave He power to become the sons of God. Receive ye the words of God and the Holy Ghost.  We need Christ's Strength - For of Him, and through Him, and to Him, are all things: to Whom be glory forever.

We are always checking the power level on our cell phones, and if the power gets low, we are quick to get the phone to a power source. Likewise, we need to ensure our souls are empowered with divine Strength. Jesus is the Power source - get plugged into *Him*. Every time you plug your cell phone in for a charge, try to remember to spend a moment or two with Jesus receiving Strength from *Him*. That's a real good habit to get into.  Christ Jesus is Everything and more to me; He is Amazing and Wonderful; I just need to let Him *Be* in my life.

I can do all things through Christ 
which strengtheneth me.
