Switch on the great power of Jesus
Michael Palmer, Cape Town
Often people say: the Lord spoke to me or the Lord revealed to me. And I would think: What a bunch of attention seekers. Until recently I had never actually heard the Lord speak to me. People who hear voices? Well!
“The Lord has revealed to me how to read the Bible.”
Then a friend gave me a book to read, Giving Thanks, the Art of Tithing by Paula Langguth Ryan. It is a thought-provoking read which I think infused my spirit with a whole new mindset.
I am a regular Sunday church-goer and meet my Christian obligations fairly well.
But then something was revealed and demonstrated to me. I dont know how. Its never happened before. I never heard a voice.
To receive a television picture message, it must be switched on. If not, the message will be in the television, but you will not hear it. Everyone has a television set, but that fact does not mean that everyone will hear its message. People have to first switch on the power to that television set. I had failed to switch on the power to God.
So how is this power switched on? Going to church gets you in the presence
of Gods message, but the channel is still off. The Lord has revealed to me how to read the Bible.
My power to Jesus has been switched on by a receptive heart, prayer, daily reading and referencing my Bible as well as daily devotionals. Now I receive those abundant gifts I had denied myself.
It took 60 years, but finally I am switched on to the power of God!
