Independence of Christianity

Independence of Christianity

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts.” 
Zechariah 4:6

Suggested Further Reading:
 2 Corinthians 3:17-4: 7

The grand thing the church wants in this time, is God’s Holy Spirit. You all get up plans and say, “Now, if the church were altered a little bit, it would go better.” 

You think if there were different ministers, or different church order, or something different, then all would be well. 
No, dear friends, it is not there the mistake lies; it is that we want more of the Spirit. 

It is as if you saw a locomotive engine upon a railway, and it would not go, and they put up a driver, and they said, “Now, that driver will just do.”

 They try another and another. 
One proposes that such-and-such a wheel should be altered, but still it will not go. 

Some one then bursts in amongst those who are conversing and says, “No, friends; but the reason why it will not move, is because there is no steam. 

You have no fire, you have no water in the boiler: that’s why it will not go. There may be some faults about it; it may want a bit of paint here and there, but it will go well enough with all those faults if you do but get the steam up.” 

But now people are saying, “This must be altered, and that must be altered;” but it would go no better unless God the Spirit should come to bless us. 

You may have the same ministers, and they shall be a thousand times more useful for God, if God is pleased to bless them. You shall have the same deacons, they shall be a thousand times more influential than they are now, when the Spirit is poured down upon them from on high. 

That is the church’s great want, and until that want be supplied, we may reform, and reform, and still be just the same. 
We want the Holy Spirit.

For meditation: 

God doesn’t come to us in the most spectacular ways possible 
(1 Kings 19:11-12). For his idea of power-evangelism see 
1 Corinthians 1:17,18,23,24; 2:1-5, also Romans 1:16.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

 If you are not a believer in Jesus Christ, 

you can be accepted into his kingdom.

 I invite you to let him to make of you, 

what He always wanted.

"PRAYER" 

Marvelous God Almighty, 

I come to you in the precious name of Jesus,

 who died for me to make me free of sin,

 I want Jesus to enter in to my heart and make me free,

 I confess that He is the son of God. 

I ask to change my heart and to give me wisdom to understand your Holy Word 

full of promises of eternal value, 

not only to live on this earth, but to be expectant of my life in heaven.

 In the precious name of Jesus I ask.

 Amen..

“The true minister of Christ 

knows that the true value of a sermon must lie, 

not in its fashion and manner, 

but in the truth which it contains.
