Electrified and Fully Charged

That’s it! I have come to the conclusion the problem with electronics (computers, iPad, iPhone, etc.) all stem from me! Yes, I know that is hard to believe, but I am speaking truth here! And, NO it is not user problems, lack of understanding, etc., but instead it is, from my own diagnosis, I am filled with too much electricity! I am ELECTRIFYING!!! Can you believe that? Every piece of equipment I get has problems. There is only one, (yes 1), common denominator and that is ME!!
My phone had major problems. On Sundays I would have to go find a safe spot to talk with Ron Foster on the radio so I would not get cut off. Then, when Jim replaced it, the phone had major problems and had to get sent back. So, he traded it for another phone. I went through an IPhone and now went back to an Android only to hear people saying, “I am sorry, you sound muffled. Please repeat that!” LOL I cannot win for losing. Then, the revelation hit me, “It’s ME!!” Yes, I’m the culprit!
Once at the airport, the scanner kept buzzing when they ran it over my head. TRUE! Finally, they asked if I had metal in my head. I told them, “I had NOTHING at all up there!” They laughed and I felt foolish! LOL
Do you know what it is like to be ELECTRIFYING!! I may not have great effects on phones and electronics, but I am wondering if I am that electrifying where my Christianity is concerned. Is my life lived in such a manner others can instantly feel the electricity, but in a POWERFUL POSITIVE way? Do they have the feeling of being pulled towards the Savior because of the currents that are emitted due to them due to my love for Jesus? Am I so ELECTRIFYING others get a strong desire to want the same type of energy I have because of my relationship with the Lord?
Why am I so filled with energy for Jesus Christ? Read with me verses from Romans chapter 8 and see if you get the desire to be filled with the same energy!
Romans 8:9-17
9) But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
10) And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11) But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
12) Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
13) For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15) For you did not receive the spirit of bo***ge again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”
16) The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17) and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.”
WOW!! Joint heirs with Christ – that alone should encourage you to become filled with power and electricity to spark others into excitement!
Then it goes on: verses 38 & 39, “For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39) nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
OK, if you are not shouting Hallelujah by now, I would say you may need someone to come along side you and give you a shock of electricity and wake you up! There is NOTHING that can separate you from the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ! That is it – now I am really ELECTRIFYING! I am plugged into the Power of God and am fully charged for His service! Are you joining me??
