“Who will go for us?” Isa 6:8 NIV
Understand two things:
(1) Borrowed beliefs have no power. Unless you have a personal encounter with God, your life will have no impact. After they’d been filled with the Holy Spirit, we read: “The apostles testified powerfully…and God’s great blessing was upon them all.” (Ac 4:33 NLT)
(2) Unused power has no value. Isaiah writes: “The posts of the door were shaken…and the house was filled with smoke.” (Isa 6:4 NKJV) What a mind-blowing experience to have in church! But Isaiah had to leave, go out and perform God’s purposes. “I heard the voice of the Lord saying: ‘Whom shall I send?’…Then I said, ‘Here am I! Send me.’ And He said, ‘Go, and tell this people.’” (Isa 6:8-9 NKJV) You must spend time in God’s presence building a relationship with Him, then carry His word to those hurting around you. When Jesus took His disciples up the Mount of Transfiguration, Peter got so caught up in the experience that he wanted to stay there. “Lord, it is good for us to be here.” (Mt 17:4 NIV) But Christ explained that His power is not for storing—it’s for sharing! Paul wrote: “I will not…speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me.” (Ro 15:18 NIV) Paul didn’t glory in what Christ had donefor him, but through him. God has only one reason for filling you with His Spirit, that’s to pour you out in service to others. Jesus said: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach…[and] heal the broken-hearted.” (Lk 4:18 NKJV) You have been empowered for a purpose!
