Good morning church family!!
Our guest speaker, Cal Maskery, shared Genesis chapter 1 with us on Sunday.
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.”
Genesis 1:1-2 NIV
Just like the earth before we received salvation, we were empty and void and covered in darkness.
The Spirit of God hovering over our lives, but not in because He had not yet been invited in.
God has brought us out of darkness and into His marvellous light. We no longer are under the slavery of sin and death.
God spoke to creation, “ Let their be light”
Now that we are part of God’s family, His forever family, we now have access to that wonderful light.
There are times and areas in our life when we still walk in darkness, even though e have changed sides, changed Kingdom.
We. might experience some discouragement, our hopelessness over this darkness.
But God said : Let their be light, and there was light!
God desires to bring you light In whatever darkness you are experiencing.
Not only does He desire it, but He has the power to do it.
Not only does He have the power to do it, but He has place that power in you in the Holy Spirit.
He is inviting you to give Him room in that present darkness.
There is an old song we use to sing
🎵 If the same Spirit that rose Christ from the dead, dwell in you, dwell in you.
🎵 If the same Spirit that rose Christ from the dead, dwell in you, dwell in you
🎵 He shall quicken your mortal bodies, if the Spirit dwell in you
🎵 He shall quicken your mortal bodies, if the Spirit dwell in you
The Holy Spirit dwelling in you has the power to quicken you into action, to bring life to your mortal bodies.
He is a very present help in time of need.
Trust Him and lean on Him.
