Until the Spirit ComesShembull

The Power Has a Purpose

“The Church is the Body of Christ, and the Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. He fills the Body, directs its movements, controls its members, inspires its wisdom, and supplies its strength. He guides into truth, sanctifies its agents, and empowers for witnessing. The Spirit has never abdicated His authority nor relegated His power.” - Samuel Chadwick 

Without a purpose people lose their way.  Everyone needs a sense of meaning and direction. The Holy Spirit doesn’t just anoint so that we have a ‘feel good’ experience.  The Holy Spirit has something more profound and permanent for us.  The Holy Spirit draws us into a partnership with the trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  Incredible!  God gives us the opportunity to represent Him—to extend His kingdom.  Interestingly, when any machine is operated according to the purpose for which it was made, it always runs smoothly.  When we operate under the anointing of the Holy Spirit we can’t help but do what we were created to do—know God and make Him known, through worship and witness.

For what purpose are you seeking God’s power today?
