First Corinthians 2:4....... my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the spirit and of power......
When we are preaching the gospel, if we substitute our knowledge of the way of salvation for confidence in the power of the gospel, we hinder people from getting to reality.
We need to take care to see while we proclaim our knowledge of the way of salvation, that we ourselves are rooted and grounded by faith in God.
Never rely on the clearness of our presentation, but as we give our explanation make sure that we are relying on the Holy Spirit.
Rely on the certainty of God's redemptive power, and he will create his own life in people.
Once we are rooted in reality, nothing can shake us.
If our faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.
But nothing can ever change God or the reality of redemption!
Base your faith own back, and you are as eternally secure as God himself.
Once you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, you will never be moved again... That is the meaning of sanctification.
God disapproves of our human efforts to cling to the concept that sanctification is merely an experience, while forgetting that even our sanctification must also be sanctified (John 17:19).
I must deliver and give my sanctified life to God for his service, so that he can use me as his hands and his feet!
