Th Unplugged Lamp

I believe based on the Word of God that most, if not all, of the denominations and non-denominations that exist in the Church agree salvation can only be achieved by the blood of Jesus shed on the cross.


What troubles my spirit is that we have allowed the enemy to deceive blood bought believers of the role and function of the Holy Spirit in the earth and believers life. The enemy has allowed us to acknowledge the reality of the third person of the trinity and then stops there.


This creates a problem for the believer who desires to be used to lead people into true intimacy with God. The example looks like this: Imagine a lamp that is sitting next to a chair in a dark room and not plugged into the wall outlet. Now imagine an individual sitting in a chair next to the lamp trying to read the Word of God. The whole time the church being the lamp believes that the individual will be able to read the Word somehow in this dark room, find the Truth, and will be set free. The reality is if you would understand that you are 6 inches from being plugged into the wall outlet that could produce the light to help the individual with ease read and understand the truth that sets them free. This then empowers both the church and the individual to achieve life and life more abundant.


Jesus said, I am the LIGHT of the World. Jesus with the Holy Spirit in Him was and is a type and shadow for us today to conform to His image. (The image of God himself)


The Spirit empowered within us through Jesus has given us the authority already based on the blood and ressurection to be the light to the world.


Why not get plugged into the electrical outlet today and allow the Holy Spirit to Illuminate the way, truth, and life to all the individuals that sit in the chairs next to you throughout the journey of your life.


Empowered by the Spirit,
