Not by might nor power...

It's not my might nor power, but by My Spirit says the Lord.

How many times I haven't forgotten this, and tried TRIED Soooo hard, with all of my might - but seen really meager results. Disappointment. Feelings of failure. Discouragement.
These are enemies we have to fight -or at least I have to fight them on a regular basis. Enemies who if I give a tiny foothold to, will not think twice at taking me out of the game - neutralising me - completely. But you see, my life is not about me, my life is about Him - and seeing His Kingdom come and His will be done - starting in my own life and then branching out to everyone who surrounds me and whom I impact. And when I am not fighting my battle, but His, when I am not building my kingdom, but His - that is when His power and His might through His Spirit becomes available to me to help me overcome, to win, to conquer.

We many times look at ourselves and what we see can be disappointing especially when compared to those around us (big BIG mistake!). So we hold back. We keep what we have - because it seems insignificant. We try and "work" what we have to make it look better, to try and get ourselves to a place where we can "give" what we have, without feeling inferior. So we try and live our lives... by our might and our power. Sometimes the results might even look good - it looks great, it seems like we are progressing - and we are quiet proud of ourselves!

Today's challenge. Don't keep what you have to yourself. Stop trying to live this life in your might and your power. Give. Give what you have in your hand. Give who you are. Because in the giving lies the miracle - in the surrender lies the key to great, amazing, mind-boggling results. My natural + His Super = Supernatural!!

Want to see the Supernatural of God flowing through your life? Remember the little boy with the 5 loaves and 2 fishes? Supernatural happened when he gave what he had, when he offered what seemed insignificant, disappointing, insufficient. And God the Father smiled, and released Super...added to his natural - and we know the rest of the story. 5000 were fed, 12 baskets of leftovers were gathered. Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit says the Lord.

I ask you again. What do you have in your hand right now?
