Empowered

Paul writes to the Corinthians:

God's Way is not a matter of mere talk; it's an empowered life. 1 Corinthians 4:18-20
I love this! Too many of us, me included, at times merely talk about God's way and never really live a life of empowerment. We never really allow God to invest us with power, equip us to be light, supply us with ability, or enable us to overcome. We think we know it, but we just talk about it. We must take an inward journey so that we can be empowered because if we are we can empower others to take than same journey with their Creator. We are all slaves to our selfish ego and need to be empowered to be a slave no longer. The Bible is full of promises and words that were to people who were enslaved. Paul was a prisoner most of his Christian life. The words of God, the words of the Bible, are not to people who want to just live better lives. They are words to people who realize that they are a slave and desire true freedom and empowerment from this enslavement. To be able to let go of the things of this world, stop interfering with others choices and lives, to not worry about others opinions, and lose your life to find God's life. Change your inner life and your life changes.
Today look at the promises of God again through the eyes of a slave. Read what we are asked to do to feel and recieve empowerment from the Creator. Allow God to invest, equip, supply, and enable you with what is needed to be free - truly free.
Namaste'
