We are following a crucified King who died on a Roman cross. This Savior of the world died after only 33 years of earth-life. His life was constantly dependent on the work and power of the Holy Spirit of God. From the baptism, to the wilderness and every Word He spoke our Lord relied on the Spirit. Thus should not our lives be spent in the same way with the same dependency?
“While we are looking for better methods and stronger men and women, God is looking for weak vessels with no confidence in their own abilities. He does this so that His work will be done His way and so that all the glory will go to Jesus Christ.”
“God will confound the strong and wise by anointing as His instruments those who are considered weak and foolish. The Lord will bypass those who lean on the arm of flesh, who trust in their talents, their knowledge, their background, their family reputation. Instead, He will raise up the brokenhearted, the weak and the weary. He will pour on them a spirit of praise and a baptism of love. He will show them His greatness, His faithfulness, His covenants, and they will become strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.”
May this be our desire to simply be weak vessels that the Lord uses. We will then depend on the Lord Himself and seek things above and not things of the earth.
May there be a renewed testimony of the Spirit of the Lord in our meetings as we come together with great dependency on Him with hearts of full-surrender to God’s ways. This way all the glory can go to Jesus Christ, God’s Son.
